Calendar 56
Initially you will see the list of standard alarm sounds, but you can add your
own sounds for alarms using the Record program. See the ‘Record’ chapter
for more details.
Entries which have alarms are marked with a bell symbol.
• To remove an alarm, select Set alarm on the Entry menu and remove
the tick from the alarm box.
Will alarms still ring if I close the calendar program?
If you close a Calendar file, the Calendar informs the MC218 clock to ring the
next Calendar alarm at the appropriate time. However, the MC218 will not be
able to ring any further Calendar alarms from that file until you open it again.
If you use alarms a lot in your Calendar, it is therefore a good idea to leave the
Calendar file open when you are not using it, even when the MC218 is
switched off.
If you do need to close the Calendar file, do not set an alarm and then
immediately close the file or switch off. This is because the Calendar program
needs a certain amount of time to calculate when the next alarm should ring,
and if you switch off before the calculation is complete, the MC218 clock will
not have been informed to sound the alarm.
You can search through the Calendar entries for a particular piece of text or
for entries with particular settings, or a particular entry symbol.
To find text, settings or entry symbols:
1. On the Edit menu, select Find.
2. Type the text you want to find (you can leave the line blank if you want to
list all of the entries). Select the dates you want to search using the range
lines. Select any other settings as appropriate; press the Options button to
select the entry types you want to find.
A list of matching entries is shown. Move the cursor to an entry in the list and
press Enter to display it in full.
Use the commands on the Edit menu to go to the previous or next entry or to
go to a specific day.
Using the calendar
You can also go to a specific day using the built-in calendar. Tap on the date
titles or press Tab to display it in the Day, Week, or Anniversary views;
alternatively select Calendar on the View menu in any view. Today’s date is
circled, and the currently selected date is highlighted. In a calendar you can:
• Press the buttons in the top of the calendar to see a 1, 3 or 12 month
calendar.
• Tap on the ‘dog ears’ in the bottom corners of the calendar to move
between the calendar ‘pages’.
• Use the left and right arrow keys to move between days. Use Shift at
the same time to move between dates in a month, Ctrl to move to the
same day in the previous or next month, or Fn to move to the first or
last date on the ‘page’.
