Notifications
The terminal notifies the user when he/she has something to do. For example, if the user
set up an appointment in Calendar, a task with a due date in Tasks, or an alarm in Clock,
the user is notified in any of the following ways:
•
a message box appears on the screen
•
a sound, which can be set, is played
•
a light flashes on the terminal.
To choose reminder types and sounds for the terminal, tap Start - Settings. In the Personal
tab, tap Sounds & Notifications. Select the desired options.
