The Device screen allows you to configure.

Stack

Device time: Displays the current device time, and allows you to adjust the current device time.

Screen mode: Using the popup list at the top-left, you can choose 'config' to have Bob's Alarm switch the screen parameters to a different setting so as to improve the appearance and readability of the on-screen elements. This is usually mostly beneficial on older, gray scale devices, but experimentation with your device will allow you to determine which setting is most pleasing to you.

Exclusive wakeup: This option is available only on Treo650 devices, and on all other devices this setting will be hidden, and set to the default. On the Treo650 it seems that some device configurations do not work well with the default setting, so it is recommended that, if your T650 device does not seem to wake up properly when an alarm happens, or if pending messages (SMS, for instance) seem to block an alarm from happening, then try changing this setting between On and Off.

Test buttons: This will display a screen with a variety of test buttons. These buttons will be used to troubleshoot operation problems on specific devices. Many of the buttons will have no effect on most devices, but some may cause unwanted results, if used on the incorrect device. It's best to leave these alone, unless directed by the author.

Device alarms: This will export a list of all pending events for every application on the device. The information will be exported to a MemoPad note in the "unfiled" category. The note will indicate the application name and the date/time of the pending event. Note that each application may have only one pending event at any given time.

Reset: This will prompt a soft-reset of the device. This is just for convenience, where it is sometimes a hassle to use the reset hole at the back of the device.
