When the reminder message appears onscreen, 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. An
attention indicator blinks in the upper-left corner of the screen to remind you
of the pending alarm, and the reminder message appears again five minutes
later.
– 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 is triggered at the specified period of minutes, hours, or days before
midnight (beginning) of the day of the untimed event. When the alarm is triggered,
the reminder list displays the alarm message until you clear it. See
“Receiving
alerts” in Chapter 4 for details.
For example, you set an alarm for an untimed event that occurs on February 4. If
the alarm is set for 5 minutes, the reminder message appears at 11:55 PM on
February 3. The reminder remains in the reminder list until you turn on your
handheld and dismiss it.
Scheduling repeating or continuous events
The Repeat function enables you to schedule events that recur at regular intervals
or that 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.
