Use the Attention Manager
Many applications (date book and clock) have some sort of alarm. Attention manager allows you to
conveniently manage all of these notifications in one place.
Insistent alarms
Insistent applications open a reminders dialog, and may play a sound, flash
an LED or vibrate, depending on your hardware configuration. Alarms
continue until you snooze or dismiss them. If the sound can be interrupted,
you can tap anywhere on the dialog, or push any button to silence it.
Attention manager always open immediately when new insistent alarms are
posted.
To use the reminder dialog:
The reminder dialog has three buttons for responding to an alarm:
OK: Makes the reminder go away, with no further notification.
Snooze: Switches to the application that was running when the alarm went
off, and returns to the reminder dialog after five minutes. Go back to the reminder dialog right away by
tapping on the blinking indicator in the upper left corner of the dialog.
Go to: Switches to the application that created the alarm, and shows the record that caused the alarm,
although you may have to navigate within the application. There is no further notification.
To set alarm volume:
You control most alarm volumes globally in the general panel of the prefs
menu:
1. Tap the prefs icon in the applications launcher.
2. Tap the general pick list in the upper right corner of the dialog.
3. Set the volume using the alarm sound pick list. If your device has an
alarm or vibrate LED feature, turn these features on or off using their pick
lists in this menu.
To set alarm sound effects:
1. Tap the menu icon while displaying the date book application.
2. Tap the options menu > preferences.
3. Tap the alarm preset check box, if you want alarms to sound
4. Select the following from the pick lists:
• Alarm preset: How soon you want the alarm to sound before the
event
• Alarm sound: The alarm song or sound effect (for example, Bird or
Concerto)
• Remind me: How many times the alarm repeats before giving up
• Play every: The pause between each time the alarm sounds
