Receiving alerts on your handheld
When you use certain application settings, your handheld can alert you to any of
the following:
■
An appointment set in Date Book
■
A note created in Note Pad
■
An alarm set in World Clock
When an alert occurs, your handheld displays a reminder message. If you tap
Snooze in response to an alert message, your handheld reminds you of the item
again in five minutes. The Reminders screen displays alerts that await attention.
To respond to alerts, do one of the following:
■
Select an item’s check box to clear the item.
■
Tap an item (either the icon or the text description) to open the application
where the alarm was set. The application opens to the entry associated with the
alarm.
■
Press Function + Enter
,
or tap Done to close the reminder list and return
to the current screen. An attention indicator blinks in the upper-left corner of the
screen; tap it to view the alert list again.
■
Tap Snooze to see the list again in five minutes.
If you tap Done or Snooze and view the reminder list later, the current time is
displayed in the Reminder bar and the original alert time is displayed with each
list item.
■
Tap Clear All to dismiss all alerts in the list.
