Using the alarm
The Alarm setting lets you set an audible alarm and display a
reminder message for Date Book events. If you do not set an alarm,
no visual or audible indicator will occur.
Setting an alarm for an event
You can set an alarm for minutes, hours, or days before an event.
When you set an alarm, an Alarm icon appears to the right of the
event.
For timed events, the alarm sounds at the specified period of
minutes, hours, or days before the event begins. For untimed
events, a silent, blinking indicator appears before midnight of the
day on which the untimed event occurs. For example, if you set a 5-
minute alarm for an untimed event that occurs on January 17, the
blinking indicator appears at 11:55 p.m. on the night of January 16.
See page 50 for more about silent alarms.
To set an alarm for an event:
1. Tap the event to which you want to assign an alarm.
2. Tap Details.
3. Make sure Alarm is checked.
4. The default setting, 5 Minutes,
appears (the alarm will sound
5 minutes before the event).
To change this setting:

• Tap the unit list and select Minutes, Hours, or Days as the
time unit.
5. Tap OK.
