Notes
•  If you change the start date of a recurring 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 recurring interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a recurring event, past events (prior to the day on which you change the setting) are not changed, and your CLIÉ™ handheld creates a new recurring event.
•  If you change the date of a recurring event (e.g., from January 14 to January 15) and apply the changes to all the associated events that recur, the new date becomes the start date of the recurring event. Your CLIÉ™ handheld adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event.
•  If you change other recurring settings (e.g., time, alarm, private) of a recurring event and apply the changes to all the associated event that recur, your CLIÉ™ handheld changes all the associated events.
•  If you apply a change to the specific item of a repeating event (e.g., time), that event no longer shows the repeat icon.
