What you can do with the World Alarm Clock
The World Alarm Clock is an application that you can install on your CLIÉ
handheld and that provides you with an additional clock, which can give
you the local time, the time around the world, and also work as an alarm
clock.
As a clock showing local time
You can view the present local time on your World Alarm Clock application,
and also set the clock to show Daylight Saving Time.
As a world clock showing the time around the world
In addition to the local time of your area, you can also view on your World
Alarm Clock application the local time of up to three other areas of your
choice around the world in a single time line, and the date of each area. The
world clock time line enables you to see whether you are ahead or behind of
a certain area in time and date, and can thus help you in communicating
with your business partners worldwide.
As an alarm clock capable of a variety of sounds
You can set several alarms on your World Alarm Clock application (in a
variety of patterns, e.g. vibrator, LED ) for a certain time or day of the week.
The tone for the alarm can be selected from among the sound files you have
installed on your CLIÉ handheld or from the preinstalled sound files.
