    How do I set an hourly or every four hour reminder?

    Go to your clock. It's an app that your phone comes with. You will see different options. Click the one with an alarm clock on it and set the reminders.

  • Question

    Does the phone need to be turned on for the alerts to work?

    Community Answer

    If you mean the ringer, then no, you will just receive a vibration if your ringer is off. If you mean the power, yes, the phone must be on.

  • Question
