Abstract
In a radio apparatus outputting an alarm prior to a scheduled time, when the receiving part 2 receives a schedule message, first the radio apparatus notifies the reception through the notifying part 8. When notifying the reception, it judges whether or not a user has confirmed reception of the schedule message, namely, whether or not the user has pressed the switch part 10. When the user has pressed the switch part 10, it sets the scheduled time shown by the schedule message as an alarm time. On the other hand, in case that the user has not pressed the switch part 10 in response to the notification of reception it sets as an alarm time the time earlier by a predetermined time than the scheduled time shown by the schedule message. It compares the current time data Se outputted from the timer part 9 and the alarm time with each other and in case that the current time data Se and the alarm time coincide with each other it outputs an alarm through the notifying part 8.
