Setting an alarm for an event
The Alarm setting enables you to set an alarm for events in your Date Book. You
can set an alarm to notify you minutes, hours, or days before an event. The default
Alarm setting is 5 minutes before the time of the event, but you can change this to
any number of minutes, hours, or days.
When you set an alarm, the Alarm icon appears at the far right of the event.
When the alarm is triggered, a reminder message also appears onscreen.
To set an alarm for an event:
1.
Select the event to which you want to assign an alarm.
2.
Tap Details.
3.
Tap the Alarm check box to select it.
The default setting, 5 Minutes, appears.
4.
Tap the pick list to select Minutes, Hours, or Days.
5.
Select the 5 and enter any number from 0 to 99 (inclusive) as the number of time
units.
6.
Tap OK.

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.
