Ok, here are my tips. These are no official instructions - this is mearly
how I believe the alarm is supposed to work.
Press 0 for a second and you'll enter a menu. Use the 2 and 8 keys to move
up and down these and 4 and 6 to change values, just like in the settings
menu. The settings include recurrence, alarm date/time and whether to sound
an internal or external beeper. Once you're done, press 5 to accept your
changes.
You can have multiple alarms. To modify a particular alarm, while in
reading mode use a+b and b+c to move back and forth between alarms. When
you're on the one you want press/hold 0 to enter the alarm menu for that
alarm. When pointing to "new alarm" this will act as a blank alarm.
Not bad thinking for a supposedly nonexistent feature, don't you think?

How did you set the alarm and how did you get to where you could set the alarm. I can think of several uses I would have for it if it works the way I would like for it to work.

Subject: [bookport] caution about using the alarm
: To see what would happen I set the alarm for file and external beep. While I
: was listening to an mp3 file the alarm went off, I heard the tones and the
: only key that worked was the 2 key for pausing or reading, all others gave
: the touch tone. The only cure was a reset. I think I'll pass on the alarm.
: I'm wondering how practical it is. If it should go off while you were away
: from the unit you might come back to a dead battery depending on how long
: the alarm sounded. If you knew you were going to be using the unit I suppose
: it could be used to remind you of something.
