Formats Preferences
Use the Formats Preferences screen to set the display format of the dates,
times and numbers on pdQ smartphone.
Country Default
The country default sets date, time, week start day, and number conventions
based on geographic regions where you might use pdQ smartphone. For
example, in the United Kingdom, time often is expressed based on a 24-hour
clock. In the United States it is based on a 12-hour clock with an AM or PM
suffix.
All pdQ smartphone 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 in the Formats Preferences screen to open the
Country 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 pdQ smartphone.
To select the Time, Date, Week start and Numbers format:
1 Tap the Time pick list in the Formats Preferences screen, and select the
format that you want for pdQ smartphone.
2 Tap the Date pick list and select the format you want to use.
3 Tap the Week starts pick list and select whether you want the first day
of the week to be either Sunday or Monday.
