Even so, recording an event on this calendar is quite a bit more flexible
than entering one on, say, one of those “Hunks of the Midwest Police” paper
calendars.
Start by tapping the ± button (top-right corner of the screen). The Add Event
screen pops up, filled with tappable lines of information. Tap one (like Title/
Location, Starts/Ends, or Repeat) to open a configuration screen for that element.
For example:
•
•
Title/Location. Name your appointment here. For example, you might
type Fly to Phoenix.
The second line, called Location, makes a lot of sense. If you think about
it, almost everyone needs to record where a meeting is to take place. You
might type a reminder for yourself like My place, a specific address like
212 East 23, a contact phone number, or a flight number.
Use the keyboard (page 20) as usual. When you’re finished, tap Save.
Starts/Ends. On this screen, tap Starts, and then indicate the starting
time for this appointment, using the four spinning dials on the bottom
half of the screen. The first sets the date; the second, the hour; the third,
the minutes; the fourth, AM or PM. If only real alarm clocks were this
much fun!
