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.
