Tip: The battery powers both the phone and handheld computer. If the 
battery has been depleted from placing calls on the phone, the handheld 
computer will also have no power, and alarms will not sound.
You can set an alarm to remind yourself of upcoming events. The alarm 
sounds even if your PCS Phone is turned OFF. The default setting is five 
minutes before the scheduled event. The time can be changed to any day, 
hour, or minute setting.
Note: The alarm sounds change when the phone is turned off or on. The 
alarm will still sound if the phone is off, but the alarm sound is a polyphonic 
ringer when the phone is turned on.

Tips for Scheduling Repeating Events

If you change the start date of a repeating event, your phone 
calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your phone then 
automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the 
repeating event.

If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a repeating 
event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the 
setting) are not changed, and your phone creates a new repeating 
event.

If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., 
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 phone adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of 
the event.

If you change other repeat settings (for example, time, alarm, 
private) of a repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, 
your phone creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the 
day on which the setting is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the 
day of the change) are not changed.

If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event 
(e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon.
