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 the minute, hour, and day.

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 Alarm LED on or off” in the Handbook provided with your CLIÉ™ handheld.

2	Tap Details. The Event Details dialog box is displayed.

4	Tap the arrow to select the time from Minutes, Hours, or Days.
5	Tap “5” to the right of the Alarm check box and enter the value from 0 to 99.

Setting an alarm for an untimed event

You can set a silent alarm for an untimed event. If this is the case, the alarm triggers the reminder message on the screen 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.

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 the screen until you turn on your handheld and tap OK.

Note

The reminder message may not be displayed while another screen is being displayed.

Setting an event as private

You can hide the event that you set as private. If you define the password for your CLIÉ™ handheld, you must enter it to display the private event.

2	Tap Details. The Event Details dialog box is displayed.
3	Tap the Private check box.
4	Tap OK. The event is set as private. For hiding or masking private events, see “Protecting data” in the Handbook provided with your CLIÉ™ handheld.
