The 'Alert settings' screen is shown below. This screen allows you to control
what happens when an event occurs; the type, name and volume of the sound, how long
the sound will last, how often it will repeat, etc. The links to the
right of the image will give further detail about specific functions of this screen.

Timing
Miscellaneous
Trigger
Sound time: The sound that was selected on the "sound" tab will
continue to repeat for the period of time specified. After each time the
sound plays, it will have a delay equal to the "pause" setting, then
it will repeat.
Auto repeat: If an alarm is not acknowledged by the time the
"sound time" has expired, the the sound will stop playing and another alarm will
be set to go off in the future. The "Auto repeat" setting will be used as an
offset from the original alarm time. Once the "auto repeat" alarm time has been
reached, the process will repeat.
Snooze: The event may be snoozed by actuating the snooze control that
was assigned on the Prefrences>Actions screen. Tapping that control will cause
the event to pause for an amount of time equal to the snooze selection.
Time-out: The auto-repeat cycle will continue until the "time-out"
time has been reached. This time is measured from the initial set time for the
event, in other words, the first moment that the event made a sound. After the
time-out, the event will not sound again at this time. If it is a repeating
alarm then it will sound again on another day, and if it is a repeating timer then
it will sound again once the timer setting has elapsed again.
