Your
handheld will beep, flash, and/or vibrate to remind you of the shuttle's

device if off. To edit
or remove a reminder, use the Reminder item in the Shuttletime menu.

software) are available. Feedback
and Register work the same way – they create an e-mail
message on your device which is sent the next time you connect it to
your computer. |
