• Monthly alarm
Set the day, hour and minutes for the alarm time. This type of setting causes
the alarm to sound every month at the time you set, on the day you set.
• Weekly alarm
Set the day of the week, hour and minutes for the alarm time. This type of
setting causes the alarm to sound every week at the time you set, on the day
of the week you set.
Note
• In addition to the alarm types described above, you can also set up alarms
with the following two configurations.
Hour, minutes, month, day of the week
This type of alarm sounds at the specified time whenever the specified day
of the week occurs during the specified month.
Hour, minutes, day, day of the week
This type of alarm sounds at the specified time each time the specified day
falls on the specified day of the week.
• Alarms sound in accordance with the time (and year, month, day, day of the
week) kept by the Timekeeping Mode. Because of this, the alarm will not
sound if your settings specify a condition that does not exist. For example,
June 30, 2002 falls on a Sunday. If you set an alarm for Tuesday, June 30, it
will not sound during 2002.

in a straight line. Because of this, the IR ports
of two devices that are trying to communicate
must point directly at each other.
