MAKE YOUR APPT ALARMS MUSICAL 100LX

The "beep" or alarm sounds supplied with the Appointment Manager are a little dull. Below are a some alarms that are more interesting and will surely get a bit more attention than a couple of random toots.

Type the desired selection below, without the title, into MEMO. The blank spaces between the groups of characters are there to make it easier for you to read the code. Although not absolutely necessary, leave the spaces in. It will make it easier to go back and correct a mistake.

[Editor's Note: The letter "L," is entered in upper case to distinguish it from the number "1." The alarm function doesn't care whether the letters are upper or lower case.

The entries below are word wrapped to fit into the format of The HP Palmtop Paper. Type the entries on one long line. Where a line wraps below, leave a blank space.]
