appointment in Calendar, a task with a due date in Tasks, or an alarm in Clock, you'll be notified in
any of the following ways:
• a message box appears on the screen
• a sound, which you can set, is played.
To choose reminder types and sounds for the mobile computer, tap Start - Settings - Personal tab -
Sounds & Notifications icon. Select the desired options. See Sounds & Notifications on page 3-22 for
more information.
