Use the Formats Preferences screen to set the country default and the
display format of the dates, times, and numbers on your phone.
Country default
The country default sets date, time, week start day, and number
conventions based on geographic regions where you might use your
phone. For example, in the United Kingdom, time often is expressed
using a 24-hour clock. In the United States, time is expressed using a 12-
hour clock with an AM or PM suffix.
All your phone applications use the Country default settings. See the next
section in this chapter for information on customizing these settings.
To set the country default:
1. Tap the country name pick list.
2. Tap the setting you want to use.

that you select appears in all applications on your phone.
To select the time, date, week start, and numbers format:

Tap the Time pick list and select a format.
2. Tap the Date pick list and select a format.
3. Tap the Week starts pick list, and select whether you want the first
