and time and that these settings are used by all the applications on your handheld. 
The primary Location settings also appear in the Date & Time Preferences screen. 
Similarly, if you change the settings in the Date & Time Preferences screen, those 
settings become your system date and time and also appear under the primary 
location in World Clock. The primary Location settings also serve as a point of 
reference for the secondary locations.
The following steps show you how to set the location, date, and time from within 
Wo r l d  C l o c k .  S e e“Date & Time Preferences” in Chapter 16 for details on changing 
these settings from the Preference screen.

Choosing a different primary location
If you travel to another location and you want alerts to appear based on local time, 
you need to change the primary location to update the system time. You may 
prefer, however, to use the secondary locations to view the local date and time, and 
to leave the primary location unchanged.
To change the primary location:
1.Tap the pick list next to the current primary location.
2.Tap the location you want to use as the new primary location. 
If the new location is in another time zone, World Clock automatically updates the 
date and time in all the applications on your handheld.
Setting the secondary locations
The secondary locations display the date and time in two locations other than the 
primary location. You can use the secondary locations to view the time in places to 
which you travel or need to contact people.
The date and time in the secondary locations are based on the date and time 
settings in the primary location.
