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. When the alarm triggers, the reminder list displays the
alarm message until you clear it.
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 in the reminder list until you turn on
your handheld and dismiss it.
Scheduling repeating or continuous events
The Repeat function lets you schedule events that recur at regular intervals or
extend over a period of consecutive days.
A birthday is a good example of an event that repeats annually. Another example
is a weekly guitar lesson that falls on the same day of the week and the same time
of day.
A business trip or a vacation is an example of a continuous event.
To schedule a repeating or continuous event:
1. Tap the event.
2. Tap Det ails.
3. Tap the Repeat box to open the Change Repeat dialog box.
4. Tap Day, Week, Month, or Year to set how often event repeats.
For a continuous event, tap Day.
5. Enter a number that corresponds to how often you want the event to repeat on
the Every line.
For example, if you select Month and enter the number 2, the event repeats
every other month.
