Scheduling repeating or continuous events 101 – Tap Go To to open Date Book. Date Book will open and display the event associated with the alarm. Alarm for untimed events: You can set a silent alarm for an untimed event. In this case the alarm is triggered at the specified period of min utes, hour s, or days before midnight (beginning) of the day of the untimed event. When the alarm is triggered, the reminder list displays the alarm message until you clear it. See“Receiving alerts” in Chapter 4 for details. For example, you set an alarm for an untimed event that occurs on February 4. If the alarm is set for 5 minutes, the reminder message appears at 11:55 PM on February 3. The reminder remains in the reminder list until you turn on your handheld and dismiss it. Scheduling repeating or continuous events The Repeat function enables you to schedule events that recur at regular intervals or that 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.Select the event. 2.Tap Details.

Considerations for repeating or continuous events Keep the following points in mind: ■If you change the start date of a repeating event, your handheld calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your handheld then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the repeating event. ■If you change the repeat interval of a repeating event (such as from daily to weekly) previous occurrences of that event are not changed, and your handheld creates a new repeating event. ■If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (such as from January 14 to January 15) and apply the change to all occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your handheld adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event. If you apply the change to current and future occurrences, past occurrences are not changed. ■If you change other settings of a repeating event (such as time, alarm, private) and apply the change to all occurrences, your handheld creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day on which the setting is changed. ■If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event (such as time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon .
