 icon is displayed to the far right of the
event.
Notes
• If you change the start date of a repeating event, your CLIE handheld
calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your CLIE 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 CLIE 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 CLIE 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 CLIE
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.
