Insistent alarms

6 Using the Attention Manager

Except for Calculator and Service Launcher, all applications in your handheld will try to get your attention with some sort of alarm whenever an previously set alarm reminder is activated. Attention Manager allows you to conveniently manage all of these notifications in one place. Appointments and messages can stack up while you are away from your handheld. Attention Manager lets you view them from a single list, where you can selectively dismiss or follow up on each event.

Applications will signal for your attention at two different levels: insistent and subtle. Each will be discussed in detail below.

Insistent alarms

Insistent alarms open the Reminder dialog screen, and may play a sound or flash the LED indicator depending on your Alarm Preferences settings. Alarms continue until you snooze or dismiss them. If the sound can be interrupted, you can tap anywhere on the screen, or press any button to silence it. The Reminder dialog screen will always open immediately when new insistent alarms are posted.
