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.
