• If you wish to stop an alarm from ringing without deleting it
completely, e.g. if you wish to suspend your wake-up alarm while you
are on holiday, move to the relevant line and select Disable alarm on
the Edit menu. The alarm has a line drawn though it to show that it is
no longer active.
• To make the alarm active again, move back to the relevant line and
deselect Disable alarm.
Viewing alarms
The countdown to the next alarm, whether set in Time or Calendar, is given at
the bottom of the screen. Use View next alarms on the Edit menu to view the
alarms that are to ring in the future, and View past alarms to list the last 8
alarms to have been cleared (e.g. if you cancel an alarm, but need to be
reminded of the alarm text).
You can use the Map view to display information for cities around the world.
Set the city in which you are currently located as your ‘Home’ city, and then
select other cities to find their time differences, dialling codes and distances
from your Home city.
Note! In order for world information to be accurate, make sure you have
defined your Home city, and the current time and date. Refer to the “Getting
Started” chapter.
Selecting a country or city
To select a particular country or city, move to the country or city line at the
bottom of the screen, and then:
• Start typing the name of the required country or city. Continue typing
until the correct city and country combination is displayed, or use the
right and left arrow keys to scroll through the available countries and
cities in alphabetical order until you come to the one you require.
• If you scroll through the countries, only the capital cities are listed. If
you wish to view only the cities in one particular country, select the
country, and then select Cities in current country on the View menu.
To go back to displaying cities for all countries, reselect the command.
When you select a city, the cross hairs on the map move to the selected city,
and information about the city appears at the bottom of the screen.
• The time difference between the Home city and selected city is
displayed. This includes the difference in ‘GMT (Greenwich Mean
Time) offsets’ (the time zone difference) and includes a correction for
summer time if necessary. For information about summer times, refer
to ‘Setting summer time’ later.
• The code next to the telephone symbol at the bottom of the screen
shows the digits needed to dial the selected city from the Home city.
Adding a town or city
If a place you require is not included in the Map view, you can add it.
