Warning About Computer Mishaps!
If you should ever spill any liquid on your computer, drop it or have it experience a strong impact, please do not try to turn it on to see if it will work. Instead, stop and unplug the AC/DC adapter and remove the battery. Immediately contact Thanh Le, Equipment Repair Technician, at ext. 14329.

Kerio Reminders
Technology support staff has been fielding questions regarding Kerio mail and calendar that were covered in the original Kerio training videos. If you haven’t reviewed the videos lately, it might be a good idea to take a few minutes to do so. Now that you are more familiar with Kerio, the videos might have more meaning.

Copying Events from Public Calendars in Kerio
If you attend meetings that are already entered on one of the Agency’s public calendars, you can easily copy those events to your own personal calendar to save you time entering the information. The instructions below outline the steps involved in copying events to your personal calendar.

1. Locate the folder labeled Public folders in the folder tree on the left hand side of the Kerio window. Click the plus button next to the folder to expand it if necessary. 2. Click once on either the Calendar_External or Calendar_Internal and go to the date of the event you want to copy to your personal calendar.
3. Click once on the event then click the Copy button (yellow folder with a green arrow pointing down located above the calendar between the New Event button and the Print button).
4. When the Folder selection window appears, click once on your folder labeled Calendar and click the Copy button at the bottom of the window. That will copy the event with all the details to your personal calendar.

Using Banners in Kerio
Please remember to set the “Show Time As” dropdown menu to “free” when creating reminder banners in your Kerio calendar. Some people have inadvertently blocked out entire days of their calendars by forgetting this step. Thus, others are prevented from inviting them to meetings. At least we assume this is accidental.
