Using Date Boo k

Setting the alarm

If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., from

January 14 to January 15) and apply the change to all occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your console adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event.

If you change other repeat settings (for example, time, alarm, private) of a repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, your console creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day on which the setting is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the change) are not changed.

If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon.

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 appears at 11:55 p.m. on the night of February 3. The reminder remains onscreen until you turn on your console and tap OK to turn off the reminder.

1.Tap the event to which you want to assign an alarm.

2.Tap Details.

3.Check the Alarm box.

The default setting, 5 Minutes, appears.
