Digitizer preferences
The Digitizer Preferences screen opens the digitizer calibration screen.
This is the same screen that appears when you go through the Setup
process for your handheld.
You can recalibrate your screen after a hard reset, or if your digitizer
drifts.
Formats preferences
Use the Formats Preferences screen to set the country default and the
display format of the dates, times, and numbers on your handheld.
Country default
The country default sets date, time, week start day, and number
conventions based on geographic regions where you might use your
handheld. For example, in the United Kingdom, time often is
expressed using a 24-hour clock. In the United States, on the other
hand, time is expressed using a 12-hour clock with an AM or PM
suffix.
All your handheld applications use the Country default settings. You
can, however, customize your own preferences as described in the
“Time, date, week start, and numbers formats” section later in this
chapter.
To set the country default:
1. Tap the country name pick list.
2. Tap the setting you want to use.
