Set date and time

An easy first step to get you started learning about your Pocket PC or Pocket PC phone is to set the time and date. That’s important because you’ll want your e-mails and call history to have accurate time and date information.

Setting the time and date on your Pocket PC is easy. Just follow these steps:

  • Tap Start > Settings.
  • Tap the System tab and then tap Clock & Alarms.
  • In the time zone box, tap the down arrow to bring up time zone choices. Use the scroll bar to find your time zone and tap it.
  • In the time box, tap the hour and then tap the up arrow to increase it or the down arrow to decrease it. Do the same for minutes (and seconds if you want to be precise).
  • In the date box, tap the arrow to bring up the calendar. Tap the forward or back arrow to go to the right month and year; then tap today’s date.
Congratulations! Your Pocket PC now displays the correct date and time.

Tip
You’ll notice that the Clock & Alarms screen has a second option, called Visiting. If you travel to another time zone and want to keep track of the current time there, you can tap Visiting and select the time zone for that location. You won’t lose your Home time zone data; just tap Home any time you want to return to your home time zone.

Note
When you synchronize your Pocket PC with your PC, the time on the Pocket PC is automatically updated to match the time on the PC.
