Alarm for untimed events
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. No audible alarm sounds for an untimed event; instead, the
reminder message appears onscreen.
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 onscreen until you turn on your organizer and tap OK to
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.
Typically, a continuous event is an untimed event.
2. Tap Details.
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.
