Formatting the Date, Time, and Numbers
The Formats Preferences screen allows you to set defaults for time, date, and number formats. You can also preset your handheld to
use the formats accepted by a certain country. When selecting a country and time, date, and number
formats, keep the following in
mind:
• When you select a country, the time, date, and number formats are adjusted, as well as the week’s starting day. For example,
in Germany, time often is expressed using a 24-hour clock and the starting day of the week is Monday. In the United States,
however, time is expressed using a 12-hour clock with an AM or PM suffix, and the starting day of the week is Sunday.
• You can customize your own time, date, and number formats without choosing a preset country.
• The Time setting defines the format for the time of day, which appears in all applications on your handheld.
