Note! The last five colors are used to present continuous activity (i.e. activity that lasts a couple of days or weeks). They can only be used separately and no activity icons can be added, unlike all other colors, which are used for background.

Adding New Activities

Each date square in the calendar is split into four blank sections, so that you may add up to four activities for the date.

Making a Selection

To add a new activity you must select the appropriate date by tapping somewhere in its square in the calendar. The selection will start flashing.  

Note! You may select several squares at the same time by tapping them in order to assign the same task/activity. You may also select the weekends by tapping Menu|Main|Mark Weekends.

Activity Choice

Choose an icon from the Maxi scroll bar for the activity you wish to record (for example, computer task, meeting, birthday, etc.) The icon will appear in the date squares you have selected.

Adding Color

Tap the view button to access the color scroll bar. Mark squares you wish to add color to, then tap the desired background color. Note! The last five colors present a continuous activity. They can only be used separately and no activity icons can be added:

Clearing Marks

If you have tapped the wrong date/selection you can clear the mark by tapping again the flashing selection. In case there is more than one mark you wish to clear tap Menu|Main|Clear Marks and clear them all. The display in the squares will then be restored.

Setting an Alarm for Your Activities

To set an alarm for your activity tap twice the corresponding date. A new screen for alarm settings will appear. Check the box in front of Alarm 1/Alarm 2 and tap the clock next to it to set time for the alarm. You may enter short notes for each alarm in the lines below.
