2. Click Alarms.

3. Select Display alarm notifications.

4. Under Turn on alarms for, select one or more calendar entry types to set automatic alarms for.

5. For each type, type a number to set how far in advance the alarm should go off.

6. (Optional) To change the default sound for alarms, select a sound in the Default sound field. Click Play to test the selected sound.

7. Click OK.

Tip: You can change the automatic alarm settings for an individual calendar entry by clicking the alarm icon in the entry.
