A method, in a data communication receiver, for selectively alerting a user at specified times, wherein the data communication receiver includes an interface for transmitting data to a host computer and an annunciator for generating a sensible alert, comprises the steps of receiving (505) an alarm message, wherein the alarm message comprises information indicating a time, and storing (505) the time. The method further comprises the steps of determining (510) an interface status as being coupled to the host computer or detached from the host computer and selectively activating (520) the annunciator at the time in response to determining (510) the interface status.
