Alarm: With the items in this menu, you can have Clock notify you at a spe cific time.
Set: The dots after this item indicate, as always, that the item brings up a requester. If you've selected a 12-hour clock type, the Alarm Set window comes up with an hour slider divided into 12 segments, a minute slider, and an AM/PM cycle gadget (see Figure 5-4). The 24-hour clock's requester lacks AM/PM gadget, but has an hour slider with 24 increments. You use the sliders and the gadget (if present) to indicate the time you want an alarm sounded.
Alarm On: This item and Alarm Off are mutually exclusive. If the clock reaches the time you set when Alarm On is active, the system emits a tone and flashes the screen. (You must have speakers hooked up to your Amiga
to hear the sound.) The Clock program must still be running for the alarm to work. You can't save an alarm setting, but must reset it every time you
open the Clock.
Alarm Off: Keeps the alarm from going off when the system time reaches that specified in the Set item.

Figure 5-4 Setting the Alarm
Choosing the Set item in the Clock's Alarm menu lets you set the time when the alarm goes off. The Amiga both flashes the screen and makes a noise when the alarm goes off.
