Formats Preferences; Country Default; Time, Date, Week Start, And Numbers Formats - Palm Treo 270 User Manual

Formats Preferences

Use the Formats Preferences screen to set the country default and the display format of the
dates, times, and numbers on your communicator.

Country default

The country default sets date, time, week start day, and number conventions based on geographic
regions where you might use your communicator. For example, in the United Kingdom, time often
is expressed using a 24-hour clock. In the United States, time is expressed using a 12-hour clock
with an AM or PM suffix.
All your communicator applications use the Country default settings. See the next section in this
chapter for information on customizing these settings.
To set the country default:
1. Tap the country name pick list.
2. Tap the setting you want to use.

Time, date, week start, and numbers formats

The Time setting defines the format for the time of day. The time format that you select appears
in all applications on your communicator.
To select the time, date, week start, and numbers format:
1. Tap the Time pick list and select a format.
2. Tap the Date pick list and select a format.
3. Tap the Week starts pick list, and select whether you want the first day of the week to be
Sunday or Monday.
Note: This setting controls the Day, Week, Month, Year, and List views in Date Book Plus
and all other aspects of your communicator that display a calendar.
4. Tap the Numbers pick list, and select formats for the decimal point and thousands separator.
