Setting an alarm for an event
The Alarm setting enables you to set an alarm for events in your Date Book. You
can set an alarm to notify you minutes, hours, or days before an event. The default
Alarm setting is 5 minutes before the time of the event, but you can change this to
any number of minutes, hours, or days.
When you set an alarm, the alarm icon appears to the far right of the event with
the alarm. When the alarm occurs, a reminder message also appears onscreen.
To set an alarm for an event:
1. Tap the event to which you want to assign an alarm.
2. Tap Details.
3. Tap the Alarm check box to select it.
4. Tap the pick list to select Minutes, Hours, or Days.
5. Select the 5 and enter any number from 0 to 99 (inclusive) as the number of time
units.
6. Tap OK.
7. When the reminder message appears on screen, do one of the following:
– Tap OK to permanently dismiss the reminder and return to the current
screen.
– Tap Snooze to dismiss the reminder and return to the current screen. The
reminder message appears again five minutes after you tap Snooze, and an
attention indicator blinks in the upper-left corner of the screen to remind you
of the pending alarm.
– Tap Go To to open Date Book. Date Book will open and display the event
associated with the alarm.
