Notes
• If you change the start date of a repeating event, your CLIÉ handheld calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your CLIÉ handheld 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 CLIÉ handheld 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 CLIÉ handheld adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event.
• If you change other repeat settings (e.g., time, alarm, private) of a repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, your CLIÉ handheld 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.
