Using the Attention Manager

Insistent alarms

Setting alarm sound effects

Some applications allow you to set the song or sound effect to use, and how many times to play it, with a pause in between. For example, to set alarm preferences for the Date Book, do the following:

1.While displaying the Date Book application, tap the Menu icon.

2.Tap the Options menu, and select Preferences.

3.Tap the Alarm Preset check box, if you want alarms to sound, then select the following from the pick lists:

How soon you want the alarm to sound before the event

The alarm song or sound effect (for example, Bird or Concerto)

How many times the alarm repeats before giving up

The pause between each time the alarm sounds

Using the Reminders list screen

The Reminders dialog screen changes to a list of items that require your attention under two insistent alarm conditions:

When a second application attempts to get your attention and the first has not been dismissed or snoozed.

When a first application makes a second attempt and the first has not been dismissed or snoozed.

Each listed reminder contains the date and time of the event. Depending on the application displaying the reminder, you may see an icon representing the application, and up to two lines of text.
