set alarm
Prepare morning alert
To set an alarm is to configure a device—typically a clock, phone, or timer—to alert you at a specified time: I set an alarm for 6 AM, Don't forget to set your alarm.
The phrase implies both choosing the time and activating the alert function.
You can also set an alarm on a security system to trigger when motion is detected or a door opens.
