User Manual
What is the goal of this app?
This application allows you to be aware of the time of incoming and outgoing calls. It allows you to set alarms for all the contacts or only for the contacts that you need as well as to configure the type of notification (sound or vibration), the time of the alarm, auto hang-up, auto dial and deactivate the application in a day basis.
Default settings:
- Vibration and sound notifications for incoming and outgoing calls.
- Time of the alarm set to 4.5 minutes for incoming and outgoing calls.
- Manual hang-up mode.
- Application enabled all days.
- The entry "All contacts" which will notify you for all incoming and outgoing calls according to the configured time.
You can disable the alerts in "All contacts" and only add the contacts you are interested in.
You can pick the numbers in a contact where you want to be notified.
When does the alarm time start?
The time for incoming calls starts when the mobile starts ringing (not when the call is answered) and time for outgoing calls starts when you hit the call button.
How do I know if the alarm is configured for the current call?
If the application icon is in the notification bar it means the alarm is configured for the current call.
How do I cancel the alarm for the current call?
Open the notifications and click the application notification.
How do I add a new contact?
Press the menu button, select "Add Contact" and pick the contact you want to add. A dialog is going to pop up where you can select the phone numbers where you want to be alerted.
When a new contact is added the alert configuration for this contact is going to be used rather than the configuration for "All Contacts".
How do I remove a contact?

How do I configure the alerts for a contact?
Select the contact where you want to configure the alerts and a dialog will come up. In the dialog select the "Configure alert" option and a new window will be display, here you can enable or disable alerts for incoming and outgoing calls as well as configure the time for the alerts.

How do I activate auto dial?
Select the contact where you want to configure this option and a dialog will come up. In the dialog select the "Configure alert" option and a new window will be display, here you can enable or disable the Redial option.
NOTE. If the auto dial option is activated, it will only have effect if the call is hanged (either automatically or manually) after you were notified. For example, if you have configured the alarm at 4 minutes and the call is finished before 4 minutes, auto dial wont have effect.
How do I hang-up automatically the calls?

When you receive or place calls, after that the time of the alarm is displayed in the notifications bar, it will be displayed the hang-up configuration.
Auto hang-up does not work in the default mode, what can I do?
In some LG models it has been reported that the default hang up mode does not work. A user shared with us the steps he had to follow to overcome this issue in his mobile, a LG P500 (it is likely the same steps work with other mobiles). You can find the instructions in the following link:

In case it does not work there is another option available in the aplication to support auto hang up configuring air plane mode.
Press the menu button and select “Global settings”, “Hang-up mode”, and “Airplane mode”.
Airplane mode may not work in your mobile and is only intended in the cases where the default auto hang up configuration does not work.
It is important to keep in mind that airplame mode has the following inconvenients:
1) Disconect the mobile from the cellular network and it takes between 5 and 10 seconds to reconnect (it might be different depending the mobile and the network signal strenght).
2) It disconnects the bluetooth headsets connection so it might become very inconvenient.
How do I configure the alert type?
Press the button menu and select "Global Settings". Adjust according to your preferences the options available in the section "Sound and vibration".
IMPORTANT. If vibration and sound alerts are disabled you will not be notified when the alert expires even if the application icon is displayed in the notifications bar.
NOTE. The alert type you choose will be used for all the notifications.
How do I disable the application in a days basis?
Press the button menu and select "Global Settings". Click "Active Days" and enable or disable the application according to your needs.
IMPORTANT. The days that are not selected you will not receive any notification. It will be as if the app had not been installed.
