Setting up the date format

Almost all Organizer applications require a date to be entered at some point. The default format for date entry is “MM/DD/YYYY”, where MM is the two-digit month, DD is the two-digit day of the month and YYYY is the four-digit year. The date will be displayed as “MMM DD, YYYY”, where MMM is the three-character abbreviation for the month name. However, you can choose instead to have the date entered in the format “DD.MM.YYYY”, which will then be displayed in the format “DD MMM YYYY”.

For example, in MM/DD/YYYY format, the date July 4th, 1996 will be entered as “ 7/ 4/1996” and displayed as “JUL 7, 1996”. However in DD.MM.YYYY format, the same date will be entered as “ 4. 7.1996” and displayed as “4 JUL 1996”.

2.Select SET BOLD FONT and press ENTER .

All characters on the display will then appear in bold style.

☞This option only affects the way information appears on the Organizer’s display, and does not affect the way the actual information is stored or printed.
