9.9 Alarms.
9.9.1 Setting an Alarm.
When you schedule an appointment, setting an alarm is one of the steps you go through. You can
set an alarm on an appointment that is already set up through modifying an appointment.
9.9.2 When Alarms Sound.
An alarm rings at its programmed time, even if the BrailleNote QT is switched off. The speakers
and the headphones sound the alarm. Unlike speech, the speakers sounds the alarm even if the
headphones are plugged in.
If not acknowledged, the alarm continues ringing for a length of time called the
"Alarm ringing time." It is then silent until:
the "Alarm repeat time" has elapsed, OR;
a key is pressed, OR;
the machine is switched on;
In which case it sounds again. See 9.9.4 Alarm Set Up
The maximum number of times an alarm can cycle is set to 10. This is to prevent an alarm causing
unnecessary battery drain.
