Use Calendar to schedule appointments, includingmeetings andother
events. You can check your appointments in one of several views (Day,
Week, Month, Year, and Agenda) and set Calendar to remind you of
appointments with a sound or other method.
Appointments for the day can display on the Today screen.
If you use Outlook on your desktop, you can synchronize appointments
between your device and desktop.

Synchronizing Calendar
Calendar items stored on your device can be synchronized with calendar
items on your desktop or Microsoft Exchange Server. (Note that you can
only synchronize information directly with an Exchange Server if your
company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.)
Calendar synchronization is automatically selected in ActiveSync.
Calendar items entered on one computer are copied to the other during
synchronization. Handwritten notes and drawings are saved as metafiles
(pictures).
For more information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop.
Why Use Categories in the Calendar?
Use categories to group related tasks, contacts, and appointments. Then,
use these groupings to quickly display only the information you want. For
example, you can easily share your device with another by assigning your
appointments to a category with a special project’s name. You can then use
this category to filter Calendar and only display appointments for that
project.
Note: In Month View, the day ofan appointmentassigned to the Holiday
category appears in red.
This day was assigned the Holiday category.

What’s an All Day Event?
An appointment can either be a normal appointment or an all day event,
which lasts the full day or spans many days. Examples include a trade show,
a vacation, or a seminar. You can also use all day events to schedule an
annual event, such as a birthday or anniversary. In this case, change the Sta-
tus box to Free (you may need to scroll to see it) so that it does not show
time as busy in your calendar. All day events do not occupy blocks of time
in Calendar; they appear in banners at the top of the calendar.
