Setting the Time and Date

Most likely your BlackBerry will automatically get the time and date information from your wireless carrier, but you may still need to set the time zone. At the very least, you will want to make sure that the date/time information is set correctly.

Start by opening the Options application. If you recall from Chapter 2, you can do this by scrolling the trackwheel up or down until the Options application is selected on the Home screen. The icon for the Options application looks like a wrench or pocketknife, depending on your model. Next, scroll the trackwheel down to select the Date/Time item from the list and click the trackwheel to show the screen seen in Figure 4.1.
