to repeat this process a few times until the calibration registers.

You can also press Left, Right, Up, and Down on the navigator to highlight

Formats Preferences
Use the Formats Preferences screen to set the country default and the display
format of the dates, times, and numbers on your handheld.
Country default
The country default sets date, time, week start day, and number conventions based
on geographic regions where you might use your handheld. For example, in the
United Kingdom, time often is expressed using a 24-hour clock. In the United
States, however, time is expressed using a 12-hour clock with an AM or PM suffix.
