Setting an alarm for an event
The Alarm setting enables you to set an audible alarm for events in Date Book
Plus. 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, but you
can change this to any number of minutes, hours, or days.
When you set an alarm, this icon appears to the far right of the event with
the alarm. When the alarm tone sounds, a reminder message also appears
onscreen.
Note: Make sure the ringer is on. Silencing the ringer turns off all system
sounds, including alarms. When you silence the ringer, Date Book Plus alarms
vibrate.
To set an alarm for an event:
1. Tap the event to which you want to assign an alarm.
2. Tap Details.
3. Tap the Alarm check box to select it.
4. Tap the pick list to select Minutes, Hours, or Days.
5. Select the 5 and enter any number from 0 to 99 (inclusive) as the number
of time units.
6. Hold Option and press Return to finish.
Alarm for untimed events: You can set a silent alarm for an untimed event.
In this case, the alarm triggers at the specified period of minutes, hours, or
days before midnight (beginning) of the day of the untimed event. No audible
alarm sounds for an untimed event; instead, the reminder message appears
onscreen.
For example, you set an alarm for an untimed event that occurs on February
4th. If the alarm is set for 5 minutes, the reminder message appears at 11:55
PM on the night of February 3rd. The reminder remains onscreen until you
