Setting the alarm

The Alarm setting lets you set an audible alarm for events in your Date Book, and display a reminder message on-screen. For untimed events, only the reminder message appears.

Setting an alarm for an event

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 on-screen 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.

For example, you set a 5-minute alarm for an untimed event that occurs on February 4. The reminder message will appear at 11:55 p.m. on the night of February 3. The reminder remains onscreen until you turn on your pda phone and tap OK to turn off the reminder.
