    CityTime
    CityTime enables you to display the day and time in your home city 
    and in four other cities around the globe. Whether you’re travelling or 
    at home, now it’s easy to keep track of the best time to reach your 
    business associates, friends, and family in far away places.
    Note:
    CityTime does not automatically update the current time for 
    Daylight Savings Time.
    Setting your home city
    The home city serves as a point of reference for your other city 
    selections. The information displayed for all the other cities is based 
    on the day and time in your home city. When you use CityTime for the 
    first time (or when your travel or move to another city), make sure you 
    set your home city location. Setting your home city location ensures 
    that CityTime displays accurate information for the other cities your 
    select.
    To set your home city:
    1. Tap the Applications icon  .
    2. Tap the CityTime icon  .
    3. Tap the Menu icon  .
    4. Tap Options, and then tap Select Home City.
    5. Tap the Home City pick list and select the city closest to where you 
    are located.
    Tip:
    If a nearby city isn’t in the list, you can use the Edit Cities 
    command to add a new city to the list. See “Adding cities”  
    later in this section for details.
    6. Tap OK.

    To set your remote cities:
    1. Tap a pick list in the lower part of the CityTime screen and select 
    the city closest to the city you want to display.
    Tip:
    If a nearby city isn’t in the list, you can use the Edit Cities 
    command to add a new city to the list. See the next section 
    “Adding cities” for details.
    2. Tap the remaining pick lists and select the other three cities you 
    want to display.
    Tip:
    You can temporarily display the day and time for any other 
    city by tapping the city’s location on the map display.

    Expense
    Expense enables you to record the date, expense type, and the amount 
    that you spent. A record in Expense is called an “item.” You can sort

    5. Tap the Expense type pick list and select a type from the list.
    Note:

    Tip:
    A quick way to create a new Expense item is to make sure that 
    no Expense item is selected in the Expense list, write the first 
    letter(s) of the expense type, and then write the numerical 
    amount. This technique takes advantage of the automatic fill 
    feature. See “Options menu” later in this chapter for details.

    company), you can choose Prepaid to place 
    your expense in the appropriate place on your 
    expense report. 
    Currency
    Enables you to choose the type of currency 
    used to pay the Expense item. The default 
    currency unit is defined in the Preferences 
    dialog (see “Options menu” later in this 
    chapter). You can also display up to four other 
    common types of currency. See “Customizing 
    the Currency pick list” later in this chapter for 
    more information.
    Vendor and City
    Lets you record the name of the vendor 
    (usually a company) associated with the 
    expense and the city where the expense was 
    incurred. For example, a business lunch might 
    be at Rosies Cafe (Vendor) in San Francisco 
    (City).
