Alarm for untimed events: You can set a silent alarm for an untimed event. In this
case the alarm is triggered at the specified period of minutes, hours, or days before
midnight (beginning) of the day of the untimed event. When the alarm is triggered,
the reminder list displays the alarm message until you clear it. See “Receiving
alerts” in Chapter 4 for details.
For example, you set an alarm for an untimed event that occurs on February 4. If
the alarm is set for 5 minutes, the reminder message appears at 11:55 PM on
February 3. The reminder remains in the reminder list until you turn on your
handheld and dismiss it.
