events. Palm Desktop does not support
time zones.

If you use Microsoft Outlook, you can use
the time zone feature, but you must install
the conduit that came with your Treo 700

P

smartphone (or a subsequent update) on all
the computers with which you sync your
smartphone. Chapura PocketMirror and
other earlier Microsoft Outlook conduits do
not support time zones.

Adding an alarm to an event

1 In Calendar, select the event.

2 Select Details.

3 Check the Alarm box and select the

number of minutes, hours, or days
before the event that you would like to
receive the alarm.

4 Select OK.

TIP

To automatically assign a time zone to

your events, open the Options menu, select
Preferences, and check the New events use
time zones
box. All your new events will be
assigned to your local time zone (existing
events aren’t affected), and you can change
the time zone setting for individual events.

TIP

If you want your events with time zones to

stay at the same time in Calendar, regardless
of the time zone you are in, uncheck the Get
time zone from mobile network
box on the
Date & Time Preferences screen. If the box is
checked, the event time shifts if you travel to
a different time zone. See Setting the date
and time fo
r information.

TIP

The alarm for untimed events is defined by

minutes, days, or hours before midnight of
the date of the event.
