You can receive alerts on your handheld and in Palm Desktop software.

Receiving alerts on your handheld

When you use certain application settings, your handheld can alert you to any of the following:

■An appointment set in Date Book

■A note created in Note Pad

■A voice memo created in Voice Memo

■An alarm set in World Clock

When an alert occurs, your handheld displays a reminder message. If you tap Snooze in response to an alert message, your handheld reminds you of the item again in five minutes. The Reminder screen displays alerts that await attention.

To respond to alerts, do one of the following:

■Select an item’s check box to clear the item.

■Tap an item (either the icon or the text description) to open the application where the alarm was set. The application opens to the entry associated with the alarm.

■Tap Done to close the reminder list and return to the current screen. An attention indicator will blink in the upper-left corner of the screen; tap it to view the alert list again.

■Tap Snooze to see the list again in five minutes.

If you tap Done or Snooze and view the reminder list later, the current time appears in the Reminder bar and the original alert time appears with each list item.

■Tap Clear All to dismiss all alerts in the list.
