You could choose to use an MP3 or .wav file similar to those used by many PC-based programs for alarms, event sounds, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Henrichsen" <paulh52@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 6:42 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: Alarm with associated files Hi. I don't understand why one would want to associate a file with an alarm. I always thought an alarm was to alert me about something like an appointment or to wake up at a certain time, etc. When would I use the associate with a file feature and wouldn't I have to keep ear buds connected and in my ears<grin>?

The BP stays in alarm mode even after the file has played. The only way that I have found to get out of alarm mode is to press and hhold the 2 key as if I was checking the time. This returns the system to normal use. I don't know how others feel, but I find the wording of the items under the sound setting confusing. The word external is used to describe the speaker that is inside the Book Port. The word internal is used to describe the sound that comes out of the headphone jack. I suggest using built-in for the speaker that is inside the Book Port and headphone for having the alarm come through the headphone jack. Admitedly there may be better words but at least I am interested in starting the discussion.
