Using Your Phone’s Timer
You can use your phone as a timer for a specified time length
(up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds). When the time
runs out, your phone sounds an alarm. Press any key during
the alarm to stop the alarm. After one minute the timer alert
stops automatically.
To access the timer mode:
䊳
From standby mode, press Menu > Organizer > Timer.
Note:
When you change base currency, you must enter the
new rates because all previously set exchange rates are
set to zero.
Note:
The timer only works when the phone is on. Once you turn off
your phone, the timer is no longer active.
Note:
Using the timer or allowing it to run in the background when
using other features increases the demand on battery power
and reduces the battery life.
