Click Refresh Alarms to refresh the alarms from the Reminder system.  This option exists for two reasons.  In the unlikely event that the link between the reminder system and the clock is broken, selecting this item will force the clock to refresh its memory of which alarms need to be shown for today.  The second reason to use this is to get a quick glance at which alarms are coming up -- to refresh YOUR memory.
