Adding an alarm to an event

1 In Calendar, select the event.

2 Select Details.

3 Check the Alarm box and select the

number of minutes, hours, or days
before the event you would like to
receive the alarm.

4 Select OK.

Creating an untimed event

An untimed event, such as a holiday or
deadline, does not occur at a particular
time.

1 Press Calendar

until you are in Day

View.

2 Press Left

or

Right to go to the

date of the event.

3 Make sure no times are highlighted.

TIP

To automatically assign a time zone to your

events, open the Options menu, select
Preferences, and check the New events use
time zones
box. All your new events will be
assigned to your local time zone (existing
events aren’t affected), and you can change
the time zone setting for individual events.

TIP

If you want your events with time zones to

stay at the same time in Calendar, regardless
of the time zone you are in, go to Date & Time
Preferences, select the Automatically set
pick list, and select Date and time. If you
select Date, time and time zone, the event
time shifts if you travel to a different time
zone. See Setting the date and time for
information.

TIP

The alarm for untimed events is defined by

minutes, days, or hours before midnight of the
date of the event.
