Set an alarm

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure ringtone volume is on and you can hear it, and make sure the preference to play the alarm even when the ringer switch is off is set to Play Alarm (see Manage Clock). That way you can sleep through the night without being disturbed by phone calls, but your alarm still wakes you up in the morning.
