128K Electronic Organizer (650-0841) Using The Scheduler Faxback Doc. # 17677 You can enter a reminder message up to 159 characters long, and at the set time, the EC-359 displays the reminder message and the alarm sounds for 60 seconds (if set). When you enter a reminder message for a specific date, a dot appears next to the date on the calendar.
