Setting an alarm
To set a new alarm, move to a blank line and then tap on it or
press Enter (or just start typing the alarm text or the time you
wish the alarm to ring). Alternatively, select the New alarm
command from the Edit menu or Toolbar.
1. Set the time at which you wish the alarm to ring, and select
one of the following alarm types:
• ‘Next 24 hours’, if the alarm is to ring once at the specified
time during the next 24 hours, or ‘Once only ’, followed by a
day, if you wish the alarm to ring once at the specified time
more than 24 hours from now.
• ‘Daily’, if you wish the alarm to ring every day of the week
at the specified time, or ‘Weekly’, on a particular day,ifyou
wish the alarm to ring at the specified time on that day
every week.
• ‘Workdays’, if you wish the alarm to ring at the specified
time on each day you work. If your workdays are not
Monday to Friday, select the Workdays command from the
Tools menu.
2. Type the text you wish to be displayed when the alarm
rings. This text will remain on screen until you respond to
the alarm, so do not enter anything you do not wish others
to see.
3. Select the required alarm sound, or ‘Silent’ if you wish the
alarm to ring “silently” (you’ll still see the alarm text on
screen). To hear the selected sound now, press the Test
sound button.
Note: A selection of alarm sounds is supplied with the netBook,
but you can also select any sound that you have created as an
alarm sound yourself. See the ‘Record’ chapter for more details.
