Using Your Phone’s Alarm Clock Your Sprint PCS Phone comes with a built-in alarm clock with multiple alarm capabilities. If the alarm time is reached while the device is switched off, the device switches itself on and starts sounding the alarm tone.
Using Your Phone’s Calendar The calendar keeps track of reminders, calls you need to make, meetings, and birthdays. It can even sound an alarm for any of these events.

Select one of the following note types and proceed accordingly: Meeting—enter a subject, location, start date, start time, end date, and end time.
Use detail— Move—moves the note to another date. Repeat—sets the note to recur on a regular basis (daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, and yearly). Go to date—jumps to another date.
