when you install the system software. If necessary, you can install it with
the Font/DA Mover (see Chapter 14 for instructions).
1. Choose Alarm Clock from the Apple menu.
The Alarm Clock appears in the upper-right area of the screen, just below the
menu bar (unless you have moved it in a previous session). It displays the
current time on the system clock.
2. Click the upward-pointing lever to the right of the time.
When you click, the lever points downward and the Alarm Clock display expands
to its full size.
3. If necessary, click the alarm clock icon in the lower-right area to
select it.
The alarm clock area is highlighted when you select the icon. (Skip this step
if the icon is already highlighted.) The time showing in the middle row is
the last time to which the alarm was set.
4. Click the button to the left of the time in the middle row to turn the
alarm on.
The pointer (8) becomes a crosshair (5) when you place it in the middle row.
When you click, the button moves up and the alarm clock icon changes to show
a ringing alarm, indicating that the alarm is turned on. (Clicking again
moves the button down and turns the alarm off.)
5. Click the part of the time you want to change.
The part of the time selected becomes highlighted, and small up and down
arrows appear to the right of the time.
6. Click the up or down arrow repeatedly until the time you want is
displayed.
The selected part of the time changes each time you click.
7. Click the lever at the right side of the top row to compress the Alarm
Clock.
The alarm will not go off unless you click the lever to return to the compact
clock, select another area of the clock, or click the close box.
8. Click the Alarm Clock's close box.
When the system clock reaches the time set for the alarm, the alert sound
plays once (or, if the speaker volume is set to zero, the menu bar flashes)
and an alarm clock icon blinks alternately with the Apple logo at the left
side of the menu bar.
After the alarm has gone off, you must open the Alarm Clock and turn the
alarm off to make the blinking alarm clock icon disappear.
Setting the time and date: You can also use the Alarm Clock to set the
system clock's time and date, by first selecting the time or date icon and
then changing the numbers.
