Setting an alarm

To set a new alarm, move to a blank line and then tap on it or press Enter (or just start typing the alarm text or the time you wish the alarm to ring). Alternatively, select the New alarm command from the Edit menu or Toolbar.

1.Set the time at which you wish the alarm to ring, and select one of the following alarm types:

∙‘Next 24 hours’, if the alarm is to ring once at the specified time during the next 24 hours, or ‘Once only’, followed by a day, if you wish the alarm to ring once at the specified time more than 24 hours from now.

∙‘Daily’, if you wish the alarm to ring every day of the week at the specified time, or ‘Weekly’, on a particular day, if you wish the alarm to ring at the specified time on that day every week.

∙‘Workdays’, if you wish the alarm to ring at the specified time on each day you work. If your workdays are not Monday to Friday, select the Workdays command from the Tools menu.

2.Type the text you wish to be displayed when the alarm rings. This text will remain on screen until you respond to the alarm, so do not enter anything you do not wish others to see.

3.Select the required alarm sound, or ‘Silent’ if you wish the alarm to ring “silently” (you’ll still see the alarm text on screen). To hear the selected sound now, press the Test sound button.

Note: A selection of alarm sounds is supplied with the netBook, but you can also select any sound that you have created as an alarm sound yourself. See the ‘Record’ chapter for more details.

Responding to an alarm

When the time and date correspond to an alarm that has been set in Time or Agenda, the alarm rings and the alarm text is displayed on screen. The notify LED will flash to indicate that an alarm is ringing.

∙To clear the alarm: press the Clear button or press Esc. If it is a once only alarm, it is removed. If it is a repeating alarm, it is automatically set to the next time it is due to ring.

∙To silence the alarm but leave the text displayed: press the Silence button or press Enter.

∙To ‘snooze’ the alarm (i.e. to stop it from ringing) for 5 minutes: press the Snooze button, the Spacebar or the notify button - each further press adds 5 minutes to the ‘snooze’ time, up to a maximum of one hour. You can carry on using the netBook while the alarm is ‘snoozed’.
