Scheduling Events
An entry in the Date Book is called an event. When you schedule
an event, its description appears on the time line, and its
duration is set to 1 hour by default. You can easily change the
start time and duration for any event. You can schedule the
following types of events in the Date Book:
• Timed events, such as meetings, that have a specific date and
a specific start and end time.
• Untimed events, such as birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries.
These events occur on a particular date but have no specific
start or end times; they appear at the top of the list of times
marked with a diamond. You can schedule more than one
untimed event on the same date.
• Repeating events, such as a weekly meeting that is held on
the same day at the same time each week.
• Continuous events, such as a vacation or three-day conference.
• All day events, which reflect the default length of the day as
set by the user.

About Scheduling Repeating or Continuous Events
Keep the following in mind when scheduling repeating or
continuous events:
• If you change the start date of a repeating event, your
Smartphone calculates the number of days you moved the
event. Your Smartphone then automatically changes the end
date to maintain the duration of the repeating event.
• If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a
repeating event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which
you change the setting) are not changed, and your Smartphone
creates a new repeating event.
• If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event
(e.g., from January 14 to January 15) and apply the change to
all occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the
repeating event. Your Smartphone adjusts the end date to
maintain the duration of the event.
• If you change other repeat settings (for example, time, alarm,
private) of a repeating event and apply the change to all
occurrences, your Smartphone creates a new event. The start
date of this new event is the day on which the setting is
changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the change) are
not changed.
• If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating
event (e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat
icon .
