Setting an alarm for an event

The Alarm setting enables you to set an audible alarm for events in your Date Book. 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, an alarm

icon appears to the far right of the event with the alarm.

Tip

You can also set your CLIÉ handheld to flash its LED for an event instead of, or in addition to, an audible alarm. For details, see “Turning the vibrate alarm and LED alarm on or off” in the Handbook supplied to your CLIÉ handheld.

1	On the Date Book screen, tap the event to which you want to assign an alarm.
2	Tap Details. The Event Details dialog box appears.
3	Tap the Alarm check box to select it. The alarm is set.
4	Tap the arrow to select the time unit from Minutes, Hours, or Days.
5	Tap the “5” next to the Alarm check box and enter any number from 0 to 99 as the time unit.
6	Tap OK.

Setting an alarm for an untimed event

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. The reminder message appears on-screen instead.

Example: When you set an alarm for an untimed event that occurs on February 4 and if the alarm is set for 5 minutes, the reminder message appears at 11:55 PM on the night of February 3. The reminder remains on-screen until you turn on your handheld and tap OK to erase it.

Making an event private

2	Tap Details. The Event Details dialog box appears.
3	Tap the Private check box.
4	Tap OK. The event is marked as private. For hiding or masking private events, see “Protecting data” in the Handbook supplied to your CLIÉ handheld.

2	Tap Details.
3	Tap Delete. The Delete Event dialog box appears.
