6.3Chapter 6 Using the Attention ManagerUsing the Reminders List ScreenThe Reminders dialog screen changes to a list of items that require your attention under two insistent alarm conditions:• When a second application attempts to get your attention and the first has not been dismissed or snoozed.• When a first application makes a second attempt and the first has not been dismissed or snoozed.Each listed reminder contains the date and time of the event. Depending on the application displaying the reminder, you maysee an icon representing the application, and up to two lines of text.Tapping on the text or icon will “Go To” that item and delete the event from the Reminders list screen.Tapping in the check box will clear that item, similar to a To Do list item. The Attention Manager will draw a line through thetext lines, pause for a moment, and them remove the item from the list, although the original data remains in the application.The Reminders list screen displays three buttons that are used to respond to all of the items in the list:• Done: If the Reminders list appeared because of more than one insistent alarm, tapping Done closes the Reminders listscreen, although the events will remain in the application that created them. The Reminders list screen will not appear again,unless you tap the blinking alarm indicator in the menu bar.• Snooze: Puts the Reminders list screen to sleep for five minutes. After this time interval, the Reminders list screen isdisplayed again. You can go directly to the Reminders list screen without waiting, by tapping on the blinking alarmindicator. For more detail, see “Understanding the blinking alarm indicator” below.If the Reminders list appeared after you tapped the Snooze button, then tapped the blinking alarm indicator, then tapped theDone button, the reminder will continue to snooze. For more detail, see “Understanding the Blinking Alarm Indicator” on thefollowing page.• Clear All: Removes all of the items from the list, but does not close the Reminders screen.
