Setting the alarm
The Alarm setting enables you to set an audible alarm to remind you about events in your Date Boo k. You
can set an alarm to sound minutes, hours, or days before an event. The default Alarm setting is 5 minutes
before the time of the event.
To set the alarm for an untimed event, proceed as follows:
1In the Date Book screen, tap the event for which you want to set the alarm.
2Tap Details.
The Event Details dialog box appears.
3Select the Alarm check box.
The alarm is set.
4Tap the down arrow to choose from minutes, hours, or days.
5Tap th e 5 next to the Alarm check box and enter any number from 0 to 99 as th e number of time units.
6Tap OK.
The alarm icon appears next the event.
You can set a silent alarm for an untimed event. In this case, the alarm is set for the specified peri od of
minutes, hours, or days before midnight (begi nning) of the day of the untimed event. No audible alarm
sounds for an untimed event. The reminder message appears onscreen instead.
Example: When you set an alarm for an untimed event that occurs on 4th February and if the alarm is set for
5 minutes, the reminder message appears at 11:55 PM (23:55) on the night of 3rd February. The reminder
remains onscreen until you turn on your handheld and tap OK to erase it.
