    the following:
    ■Perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and square root

    Viewing Recent Calculations
    The Recent Calculations command enables you to review the last series of 
    calculations and is particularly useful for confirming a series of “chain” 
    calculations.
    To display recent calculations:
    1.Ta p  t h e  M e n u  i c o n   .
    2.Select Options, and then select Recent Calculations.
    3.After you finish reviewing the calculations, tap OK. Toggles the current number between a negative and positive value. 
    If you want to enter a negative number, enter the number first and 
    then press the +/– button.
    Places the current number into memory. Each new number you 
    enter with the M+ button is added to the total already stored in 
    memory. The number that you add can be either a calculated value 
    or any number you enter by pressing the number buttons. Pressing 
    this button has no effect on the current calculation (or series of 
    calculations); it merely places the value into memory until it is 
    recalled.
    Recalls the stored value from memory and inserts it in the current 
    calculation.
    Clears any value that is stored in the Calculator memory.

    Managing expansion cards
    ■When writing data to an expansion card, wait for your handheld to complete 
    the operation before removing the card from the slot. This prevents data 
    corruption or accidental damage to the expansion card.
    ■You can install applications to an expansion card after performing an initial 
    HotSync
    ® operation. See“Installing files and add-on applications” in Chapter 4 
    for information. For optimal performance, we recommend that you do not 
    install more than fifty applications to a single expansion card.
    ■Reading and writing information on an expansion card uses more battery 
    power than performing the same task on your handheld. If you have ample 
    storage space on your handheld, consider copying the information to your 
    handheld.
    NOTEYou must store and access MP3 files from an expansion card.
    ■When your handheld’s battery level becomes very low, access to the expansion 
    card may be disabled to protect your data. If this occurs, recharge your 
    handheld as soon as possible.

    CHAPTER 8
    Using Date Book
    Date Book enables you to quickly and easily schedule appointments or any 
    kind of activity associated with a time and date. Use Date Book to do the 
    following:
    ■Display an agenda showing appointments, untimed events, and your To Do 
    items for the day.
    ■Enter a description of your appointment, and assign it to a specific time and 
    date.
    ■Display a chart of your appointments for an entire week. The Week View makes 
    it easy to spot available times and potential scheduling overlaps or conflicts.
    ■Display a monthly calendar to quickly spot days where you have morning, 
    lunch, or afternoon appointments.
    ■Set an alarm to notify you of the scheduled activity. 
    ■Create reminders for events that are based on a particular date, rather than on 
    time of day. Birthdays and anniversaries are easy to track with your handheld.
    ■Attach notes to individual events for a description or clarification of the entry 
    in your Date Book.
    To open Date Book:
    ■Press the Date Book application button on the front panel of your handheld. 
    Date Book opens to today’s schedule.
    TIPPress the Date Book application button repeatedly to cycle through the 
    Day, Week, Month, and Agenda views.

    a normal business day.

    Scheduling an event
    A record in Date Book is called an event. An event can be any kind of activity that 
    you associate with a day. You can enter a new event on any of the available time 
    lines. 
    When you schedule an event, its description appears on the time line, and its 
    duration is automatically set to one hour. You can easily change the start time and 
    duration for any event.
    It’s possible to schedule events that overlap, but Date Book makes it easy to find 
    such conflicts. See “Spotting event conflicts” later in this chapter.
    You can also schedule events in your Date Book that occur on a particular date but 
    have no specific start or end times, such as birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. 
    These are referred to as “untimed events.” Untimed events appear at the top of the 
    list of times, marked with a diamond. You can have more than one untimed event 
    on a particular date.
    You can also schedule a repeating event, such as a weekly meeting, and continuous 
    events, such as a three-day conference or a vacation.
    To schedule an event for the current day:
    1.Tap the time line that corresponds to the beginning of the event.
    2.Enter a description of the event. You can enter up to 255 characters.
    3.If the event is one hour long, skip to step 5. If the event is longer or shorter than 
    an hour, tap the time of the event to open the Set Time dialog box.
