Important Information about Reminders
There are three types of reminders.
Appointments—entered for a specific date and time. You can set an alarm for an appointment.
Tasks—entered for a specific date, but no time. You can set tasks to carry forward to subsequent days if they are not checked off as completed.
Yearly reminders—entered for the same date each year. Yearly reminders may or may not have a time.
All reminders are stored together in a master list in the following order: yearly reminders with a time, yearly reminders without a time, appointment reminders, task reminders that have not been checked off, and task reminders that have been checked off. Within each group, they are stored in chronological order, first by date, then by time.
In addition to the master list of reminders, you have two keys for scanning various summary lists of reminders.
The $ key lets you view several different summary lists. You can see a list of appointment reminders with alarms, reminders by week, reminders by month, yearly reminders, or task reminders by week.
The % key shows you a summary list of all reminders for one day.
In the summary list entries are stored in the same order as in the master list, with one addition. Reminders you have marked with an advance notice are displayed first on the day you requested the advance notice. Advance notices are not displayed in the master list.

You can also backup your organizer’s memory to the PC for safekeeping.
Available separately, the PS-6155 PC Connectivity Kit lets you exchange information between your organizer and an IBMë-compatible PC. The software operates in Microsoftë Windows. For more information, contact your Texas Instruments retailer.
You can also contact Texas Instruments by e-mail at:
ti-cares@ti.com
Synchronizing the Organizer to a PC
