Palm Zodiac manual Subtle alarms, Understanding the blinking alarm indicator

U sing the Attention Manager

Subtle alarms

If the Reminders list appeared after you tapped the Snooze button, then tapped the blinking alarm indicator, then tapped the Done button, the reminder continues to snooze.

For more detail, see the next section.

•Snooze. Put the Reminders list screen to sleep for five minutes. After this time interval, the Reminders list screen appears again. You can go directly to the Reminders list screen without waiting, by tapping the blinking alarm indicator. For more detail about the blinking indicator, see page 157.

•Clear All. Remove all of the items from the list and close the Reminders list screen. Tap this button to erase a list of events that have passed.

Subtle alarms

Some applications provide a visual, and optionally audible indication, but do not otherwise disrupt your work flow. Subtle alarms do not display a Reminder screen. Instead, a blinking indicator flashes (in applications that support it) when an alarm is present.

Understanding the blinking alarm indicator

In applications that allow it, a blinking alarm indicator appears in the Status Bar under the following conditions:

•While viewing a Reminder screen or Reminders list screen, you tap the Done or the Snooze button.

•A subtle alarm is present.

The indicator appears in two different states:

•Off. The indicator is not shown at all when the list is empty.

•Blinking. When there is an item in the list, then the “exclamation point” indicator blinks on and off until you empty the list.

Tapping the indicator opens the Attention Manager in list mode, even if there is only one item.
