The 'Alert settings' screen is shown below. This screen allows you to control what happens when an event occurs; the type, name and volume of the sound, how long the sound will last, how often it will repeat, etc. The links to the right of the image will give further detail about specific functions of this screen.

Timing
Miscellaneous
Trigger

Sound time: The sound that was selected on the "sound" tab will continue to repeat for the period of time specified. After each time the sound plays, it will have a delay equal to the "pause" setting, then it will repeat.
Auto repeat: If an alarm is not acknowledged by the time the "sound time" has expired, the the sound will stop playing and another alarm will be set to go off in the future. The "Auto repeat" setting will be used as an offset from the original alarm time. Once the "auto repeat" alarm time has been reached, the process will repeat.
Snooze: The event may be snoozed by actuating the snooze control that was assigned on the Prefrences>Actions screen. Tapping that control will cause the event to pause for an amount of time equal to the snooze selection.
Time-out: The auto-repeat cycle will continue until the "time-out" time has been reached. This time is measured from the initial set time for the event, in other words, the first moment that the event made a sound. After the time-out, the event will not sound again at this time. If it is a repeating alarm then it will sound again on another day, and if it is a repeating timer then it will sound again once the timer setting has elapsed again.
