Overview
Menus

Start/Pause/Resume: You can control the operation of the timer by tapping the button at the bottom-center of the screen. The button will display one of the 3 following labels, and the function of the button will depend upon the current text of the button. When the Timer is currently running, this button will appear inverted.
  1. 'Start' will be displayed if the timer has not been started.
  2. 'Stop' will displayed if the timer is running. Tapping the button will stop, or actually 'pause', the timer.
  3. 'Resume' will displayed if the timer is paused.
Scroll: On Treo6xx devices, a special "scroll" button will appear directly above the "Done" button. When you select this button it will invert, meaning that you are in "scroll" mode. In this mode, pressing the up/down button will decrease/increase the event number. To exit "scroll mode", press that button again, or navigate left or right. This button will be hidden on other devices.

Set the Timer time: Tap the top or bottom of the digits to adjust the time setting. You can also set the time by entering digits using the grafitti area or keypad. As you enter digits an indicator will appear to show you which digit will be edited next. On Treo devices you can also navigate to the digit and press the 5way-Ctr button to increment the value of the digit.

In order to aid in adjusting the setting with a finger (instead of a stylus) the sizes of the seconds and hours digits are dynamic. When you try to adjust the seconds, the size of those digits will become large, and the hours digits will become small, and vice-versa.

Reset/Prev: Tapping the button at the bottom-right will change the displayed setting of the timer between 2 set values. The text on the button will change to indicate what value will be set upon the next button press:
  1. 'Reset' is shown by default upon entering the 'Timer' form. It will reset the timer to 00:00:00.
  2. 'Prev' will set the timer back to the last setting that was used to 'start' (not 'resume') the timer.
Timer name: You can assign a name to the event by using the field at the top of the screen. If you are using Bob's Alarm in unregistered (demo) mode then that field will be disabled.

Sound button: This will open the Sound screen, when the sound/volume for the event can be selected.
