Datebook
Youri88sphone contains a Datebook feature that enables you to schedule and
organize events, such as appointments and meetings. Schedules can be created
and viewed for specific days, and reminder alarms can be set so you never miss
important events.
You can view upcoming events by week or by day. The Datebook stores and
manages 250 events over a 13-month period (12 months ahead and 1 month
back).
NOTE: The time and date format and the year used in Datebook can be
set by you. Before using Datebook for the first time, ensure that
the current year is correct. See“Initial Setup”on page 174 for
more information.
