Operating instructions (Pocket PC)

When you first install it on your computer, the downloaded Universalis is an unregistered version, which restricts the dates for which you are allowed to display its content. We encourage you to use the unregistered version first, so that you can be sure that the product is what you want before you buy anything.

Here are instructions for buying a registration code if you don't already own one.

Here are instructions for entering your registration code.

If you have a Windows PC and a handheld computer then you are allowed to use the same registration code for both of them. The same applies if you have a PC at home and another at work – the simple rule is that only one person at a time should ever be using the registration code.

General

ScreenshotThe left and right arrows move backwards and forwards through the days.  The numbered box between them indicates the current day of the month: if you press it, you will get a calendar listing.  Press it again to come back to the hours themselves.

To change which page you are viewing (Mass, Morning Prayer, etc), tap on the caption at the top right and then pick the page you want from the list that appears.

ScreenshotThe calendar display lets you view and scroll through the liturgical calendar.

To view the hours for a particular day, tap on the day.

To use the built-in Pocket PC date selector to go to any given date, tap on the heading that shows the name of the month.


The Today screen

ScreenshotUniversalis displays the feast or saint of the day in your Today screen and you can go to today's readings by tapping on this display.

If you don't want Universalis in your Today screen then you can turn it off using Start > Settings > Today > Items.

The Options pages

ButtonTo open the Options pages, tap on the downward-pointing triangle at the top left of any Universalis page. There are three Options pages and you can move between them by tapping the appropriate tab at the bottom of the screen.

Fonts

You can choose which font type and font size you want Universalis to use.

Calendars

You can choose which local calendar you want Universalis to use.  You can also decide whether you want the same Invitatory Psalm every day, or whether you want the psalm to change every day, going through the four permitted options, as the Universalis web site does.
