Installation of the Ozshene Kalendar for BlackBerry 8300 or 8800

0. Introduction

The program can be downloaded free of charge, but I ask you, if you like this program, to make a donation at http://www.mechon-mamre.org/donation.htm

1. Downloading and installation

The downloading address for the Ozshene Kalender is

  http://www.tichnut.de/blackberry/bb8800.zip

After clicking on the link, select SAVE in order to save the file onto your hard disk.

To install the program on the BlackBerry device, extract the contents of the ZIP file and use the Application Loader of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager in order to add the extracted ALX file to your application list and install the software.

If you see the error message

  "No additional applications designed for your handheld were found."

or

  "No additional applications designed for your device were found."

This issue is not due to my program, but due to the BlackBerry software, you can search in BlackBerry forums for your issue and/or try to do one or both of the following:

2. Operating the program

In order to move the selection of the current day, you can use the 4-way trackball control or the keys L (left), R (right), U (up) or D (down).

When defining values for degrees below horizon in the Configuration for the End of Shabbat, you have to use the period . for the floating-point sign, e.g. 3.5

When adding a new location, a value has to be entered in the field Time zone (minutes).
If the time zone is only GMT - x hours or GMT + x hours, you have to enter 0 in this field.

Please note that some functions like Copy, Remove or Delete in some menus are not relevant for the calendar - these menu items are special for BlackBerry. If you have removed a text accidentally, it is available again after re-invoking the dialog box. When selecting Close, the whole program is closed at once.

If you want to change the day, month or year in the date field at an User Event (Anniversary, Birthday, Yahrzeit), go to the day, month and/or year by scrolling the wheel, press the wheel, select "Change Option" and then modify the day/month/year by scrolling the wheel up or down or type digits.
