6 Using the Attention
Manager
Except for Calculator and Service Launcher, all applications in your handheld will try to
get your attention with some sort of alarm whenever an previously set alarm
reminder is activated. Attention Manager allows you to conveniently manage all of
these notifications in one place. Appointments and messages can stack up while you
are away from your handheld. Attention Manager lets you view them from a single
list, where you can selectively dismiss or follow up on each event.
Applications will signal for your attention at two different levels: insistent and subtle.
Each will be discussed in detail below.
Insistent alarms
Insistent alarms open the Reminder dialog screen, and may play a sound or flash the
LED indicator depending on your Alarm Preferences settings. Alarms continue until
you snooze or dismiss them. If the sound can be interrupted, you can tap anywhere on
the screen, or press any button to silence it. The Reminder dialog screen will always
open immediately when new insistent alarms are posted.
