This page provides information on the app upgrades being made available to select Sunbeam F1 phones. The new apps which include upgraded Calendar, Clock, Sound Recorder and Notes, will replace the original apps entirely in a future update. The new apps include many of our customer requests and will allow Sunbeam to make continued improvements, including new backup options in a future update. Do not download the next system update before you have moved your data, as the next update will permanently delete any data in the old apps and cannot be recovered.

Clock

The improved Clock app includes a World Clock, Timer, and Stopwatch. It also includes more settings, allowing you to customize your alarms with custom recordings, option to silence the alarm automatically and the volume buttons can be set for Snooze or Dismiss.

Moving Data to the New Clock

Enter all your alarms in the new Clock app, then delete any alarms that are still set in the old app.

• Open the Clock>press Menu>Add Alarm.

• Enter the time and press “OK.”
• After saving the alarm time, you will have more options, including turning on “repeat” for specific days of the week.

Calendar

The improved Calendar includes an import/export feature that allows you to back up your events to a MicroSD card or export events to other calendars that support .ics files. It also adds support for re-occurring events, event categories, and multiple views including Agenda, Day, and Month views.
