USER’S GUIDE 2496
•Monthly alarm
Set the day, hour and minutes for the alarm time. This type of setting causes the alarm to sound every month at the time you set, on the day you set.
•Weekly alarm
Set the day of the week, hour and minutes for the alarm time. This type of setting causes the alarm to sound every week at the time you set, on the day of the week you set.
Note
•In addition to the alarm types described above, you can also set up alarms with the following two configurations.
Hour, minutes, month, day of the week
This type of alarm sounds at the specified time whenever the specified day of the week occurs during the specified month.
Hour, minutes, day, day of the week
This type of alarm sounds at the specified time each time the specified day falls on the specified day of the week.
•Alarms sound in accordance with the time (and year, month, day, day of the week) kept by the Timekeeping Mode. Because of this, the alarm will not sound if your settings specify a condition that does not exist. For example, June 30, 2002 falls on a Sunday. If you set an alarm for Tuesday, June 30, it will not sound during 2002.
To set an alarm time
1. In the Alarm Mode, use D to scroll through the alarm screens until the one whose time you want to set is displayed.
