Note:
You can set a silent Alarm for an untimed event. In this
case, the alarm will be triggered at the specified period of minutes,
hours or days before midnight (beginning) of the day of the
untimed event. No audible alarm will sound for an untimed event;
instead, the descriptive message will appear on the PalmPilot
organizer’s screen.
For example, you could create a reminder for an untimed event
that occurs on February 4th. If the alarm reminder is set for 5
minutes, the alarm reminder will appear at 11:55 pm on the night
of February 3rd. The reminder will still be on screen the next time
you turn on your PalmPilot.
Using the Repeat Function
The Repeat function enables you to set an event to automatically
repeat in the Date Book.
A birthday is a good example of an event that you would want to
set to repeat annually. Another example would be a weekly guitar
lesson that falls on the same day of the week, and the same time of
day.
To set the Repeat function for an event:
1. In the Date Book screen, tap anywhere on the text of an event.
2. Tap the Details button. The Event Details dialog appears.
3. In the Event Details dialog, tap the Repeat box. The Change
Repeat dialog appears, as shown in the following diagram:
