Ignore (Snooze) Alarms
You may choose to snooze an alarm when:
- A temporary situation causes an expected alarm whose existence is unimportant.
- There is a known problem (a network problem, for example) that is beyond your control; and a continuing reminder of the problem is neither necessary nor desirable.
