Press ESC when you are finished and the display returns to the Alarm
r1enu. Then press
ESC
to return to the Main Menu, and
ESC
again to return
to the program that was interrupted for Valet processing.
The command that was typed here will be initiated automatically at the
scheduled time, regardless of what else the computer is doing.
Use this command only when you want to initiate processing while you are
away from your computer. If you are working with another program at the
time of the alarm, the command you have scheduled here will execute
anyway. Your current program will be immediately terminated and work in
progress will be lost. Be careful when using this option!
Answering

When an alarm is heard, activate Set-Up Mode. The message or command
line is displayed on the bottom two lines of the screen. You may then
reschedule the alarm for a later time, change the message or command,
change the alarm type, or simply "clear" the alarm by pressing the
ESC
key.
