Setting the alarm for an event
The Alarm setting lets you set an audible alarm for events in your Date Book, and
display an onscreen reminder. For untimed events, only the reminder message
appears.
You can set an alarm for minutes, hours, or days before an event. When you set an
alarm, an Alarm icon appears to the far right of the event with the alarm.
You can also set a silent alarm for untimed events that displays a reminder message
onscreen before the day of the event. The alarm triggers at the specified period of
minutes, hours, or days before midnight of the day on which the untimed event
begins.
For example, you set a 5-minute alarm for an untimed event that occurs on February
4. The reminder message will appear at 11:55 p.m. on the night of February 3. The
reminder remains onscreen until you turn on your Acer s10 and tap OK to turn off the
reminder.
