note LED will flash to indicate that an alarm is ringing.
To clear the alarm:

time it is due to ring.
To silence the alarm but leave the text displayed:
• Press the Silence button or press Enter. If the MC218 is closed when an
alarm rings, you can silence it by pressing any of the voice note buttons
on the outer casing.
To ‘snooze’ the alarm (i.e. to stop it from ringing) for 5 minutes
• Press the Snooze button or press the Spacebar - each further press adds
5 minutes to the ‘snooze’ time, up to a maximum of one hour. You can
carry on using the MC218 while the alarm is ‘snoozed’.
The alarm will snooze automatically for 5 minutes if you press one of the
external voice note buttons, or a Program icon to move to another program,
while an alarm is ringing. You don’t have to press the Snooze button. After
this time, the alarm will ring again.
Note! If you are recording a voice note or other sound when an alarm is due
to ring, the alarm will be delayed until you have finished the recording.
