Alarm clock

The alarm clock feature sounds an alert at a time you specify.

Setting the alarm clock

Use Menu 7 1 to turn the alarm clock on or off.

Note that when you’re entering the alarm time, use two digits for both hours and minutes (for example, enter 1:30 as 0130).

Note: Pressing does not work on this screen. If you make a mistake, re-enter all four digits. Press up or down on the scroll keys to move the cursor. The number you press is entered to the right of the cursor.

Alarm volume

The alarm volume is determined by the current ringing volume. However, if you have manually set the ringing option (see page 24) to Silent or Beep once or have selected the Silent or Quiet quick alert setting (see page 25), the phone only sounds a quiet beep.

When the alarm sounds

To shut off the alarm, press any key except Snooze.

If you press Snooze, the alarm sounds again in ten minutes. To turn off the alarm before then, press Stop.

If you let the alarm sound for one minute without pressing a key, it stops for ten minutes, then starts again.

If you turn off the phone

If you turn off the phone and the alarm is set, the phone switches itself on at alarm time, then the alarm sounds.
