Using alarms
Use the Alarms view to set alarms that will ring even
when your Revo is switched off, e.g. a ‘repeating’
wake-up alarm that will ring each day you work, and
‘once only’ alarms to remind you of appointments.
The Alarms view allows you to set up to 6 alarms,
each up to 7 days ahead, and control their sounds.
Use the Time program to set, display and manage
alarms; and to display a map of the world that gives
you information on cities, times and dialling codes.
The Time program has two views: the Map view and
Alarms view. To switch views: tap the Map or Alarms
buttons on the Toolbar, or use the Switch view
commands on the View menu.
