4. Do one of the following:
Tap Current to delete only the current event item.
Tap Future to delete the current and all future event items 
and reset the end date of the repeating event to the last 
shown date.
Tap All to delete all occurrences of the repeating event.
5. Tap OK.
Considerations for repeating or continuous events: Keep the 
following points in mind.
nIf you change the start date of a repeating event, your handheld 
calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your 
handheld then automatically changes the end date to maintain 
the duration of the repeating event.
nIf 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 handheld creates 
a new repeating event.
nIf you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., 
from January 14th to January 15th) and apply the change to all 
occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the 
repeating event. Your handheld adjusts the end date to maintain 
the duration of the event. If you apply the change to current and 
future occurrences, past occurrences are not changed.
nIf you change other repeat settings (e.g., time, alarm, private) of 
a repeating event and apply the change to future occurrences, 
your 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.
nIf you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event 
(e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon  .

Address Book
Address Book is the application in which you store name and 
address information about people or businesses.
Creating an Address Book entry
A record in Address Book is called an “entry.” You can create 
entries on your handheld, or 
you can use Palm Desktop software to 
create entries on your computer and then download the entries to 
your handheld with your next HotSync operation.
Palm Desktop software also has data import capabilities that enable 
you to load database files into Address Book on your handheld. 
See “Importing data” in Chapter 2 and Palm Desktop online Help 
for more information.
To create a new Address Book entry:
1. Press the Address Book application button   on the front of 
your handheld to display the Address list.
2. Tap New.
3. Enter the last name of the person you want to add to your 
Address Book. 
Note:
Your handheld automatically capitalizes the first letter 
of each field (except numeric and e-mail fields). You do 
not have to use the Graffiti capital stroke to capitalize 
the first letter of the name.

4. Use the Next Field Graffiti stroke to move to the First Name 
field.
Tip:
You can also move to any field by tapping it directly.
5. Enter the persons first name in the First Name field.
6. Enter the other information that you want to include in this 
entry.
Note: 
As you enter letters in the Title, Company, City, and 
State fields, text appears for the first logical match that 
exists in your Address Book. As you enter more letters, 
a closer match appears. For example, you may already 
have Sacramento and San Francisco in your Address 
Book. As you enter “S” Sacramento appears, and as you 
continue entering “a” and “n” San Francisco replaces 
Sacramento. As soon as the word you want appears, 
tap in the next field to accept the word.
7. Tap the scroll arrows   to move to the next page of information.
8. After you finish entering information, tap Done.
Tip:
To create an entry that always appears at the top of the 
Address list, begin the Last name or Company field with a 
symbol, as in *If Found Call*. This entry can contain contact 
information in case you lose your handheld.
