the time you set in Snooze time-out, then resumes.

If the alarm time is reached while the device is switched off, the device switches itself on and
starts sounding the alarm tone. If you select Stop, the device asks whether you want to activate
the device for calls. Select No to switch off the device or Yes to make and receive calls. Do not
select Yes when wireless phone use may cause interference or danger.
