Calendar

Use your phone to remind you of different events such as meetings, phone calls to be made, birthdays, etc. To ensure the proper function- ing of the calendar it is an absolute condition that you set the actual date and time in the Calendar Setup menu (p. 71). The calendar is active even when the telephone is switched off.

View events Each date under which one or more events are stored will be listed, shown with the day of the week and the date. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the dates. If a date is high- lighted for more than 2 seconds, the times of the first events on that date will be displayed.

Press »SELECT« to read the event details.

In addition to reading the event details, you can press »OPTION« and :

Delete the event.

Edit the event.

Send the event to another mobile phone or a PC via IrDA.

Print the event via IrDA.

New event When adding a new event, you can choose among the following event types:

»Custom setup« »1 hour meeting« »Standard alarm« »Birthday« »Wake up alarm«

In the custom setup you can define any setting to suit your require- ments. The options available are: Set start time/date and set end time/date, enter event text, select

recurring frequency, select tone pattern, and define advance notice for the event.

You can decide that a »Custom setup« or a »Wake up alarm« event should be recurring (repeated).

This is useful if you have a week- ly meeting, if you want to be re- minded about e.g. a birthday every year or if you want to use your phone as an alarm clock.

You can select one from among 6 predefined recurring frequencies or you can specify a date/time until which you want the event to be repeated, or select »No end date« to have the event repeated continu- ously.

If you want to change the current time and/or date settings, see the description in the Setup menu on p. 71.
