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 alerts”
in Chapter 6 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.
