Using Your Basic Applications

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.

Alarm for untimed events:

You can set a silent alarm for an untimed

event. In this case, the alarm triggers at the specified period of
minutes, hours, or days before midnight (beginning) of the day of the
untimed event. When the alarm triggers, the reminder list displays the
alarm message until you clear it. See “Reviewing Reminders”in this
chapter for details.

For example, you set an alarm for an untimed event that occurs on
February 4th. If the alarm is set for 5 minutes, the reminder message
appears at 11:55 PM on the night of February 3rd. The reminder
remains in the reminder list until you turn on your handheld and
dismiss it.

Scheduling repeating or continuous events

The Repeat function lets you schedule events that recur at regular
intervals or extend over a period of consecutive days.
A birthday is a good example of an event that repeats annually.
Another example is a weekly guitar lesson that falls on the same day
of the week and the same time of day.
A business trip or a vacation is an example of a continuous event.
