- Touch to enable or disable the use of 24-hour time format. This format makes your Galaxy Note 3 represent time without a.m. or p.m. For example, 1:00 p.m. becomes 13:00 in 24-hour format.
Touch to change the way in which the date is represented. For example, people in the United States normally write the date with the month first (12/31/2010). You can make your Galaxy Note 3 display the date with the day first (31/12/2010) or with the year first (2010/12/31).
