About alarm types
This unit has two types of alarms: the Daily Alarm and Schedule Alarm. The
following describes each of these alarms.
Daily Alarm
The Daily Alarm sounds at the same time everyday, when the Home Time
reaches the time you have set as the Daily Alarm (page 66).
Schedule Alarm
The Schedule Alarm sounds at the specified time on a specified date. Use
the Schedule Keeper Mode to set this type of alarm (page 42).
An alarm tone sounds for about 20 seconds and an alarm message appears on
the display whenever an alarm time is reached, even if unit power is switched off.
You can stop the alarm by pressing any key and then press
ESC to return to the
display that was shown before the alarm began to sound.
Important!
An alarm will not sound if that type of alarm is switched off on the SOUND
menu. This is especially important to remember when you want to use
Schedule Alarms. For details on how to switch alarms on, see About the
SOUND menu... on page 25.
If the Daily Alarm set in the Home Time Mode and a Schedule alarm set in
the Schedule Mode are set for the same time, the Schedule alarm takes
precedence. This means that the Schedule message appears on the display
when the alarm time is reached.
The alarm does not sound if you are performing a data communications
operation when the alarm time is reached.
The alarm may fail to sound if battery power is too low.
Note
If the message SECRET DATA! appears on the display, it means that an alarm
time set in the secret memory area (see page 60) was reached.
