SETTING THE ALARM OPTIONS

General

Two different alarm times, ALARM 1 or 2 can be set in the CD, radio or buzzer modes. This can be useful when for example you need to be woken up at a different time during the week and at the weekend.

-Remember to first set the DAY, clock and alarm time functions correctly!

-Make sure your selected alarm symbol is shown.

Viewing the Alarm Mode Options

1Select your choice of alarm mode by pressing ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 MODE/ OFF once or more to find your respective mode.

The alarm mode display sequence is shown:

Lo:00 – default volume level for start of gentle wake alarm

H1:16 – default maximum volume level for gentle wake alarm

Followed by the 3 different alarms: (buzzer) k AL, or

(radio) m tu, or

CD mode with CD and a track number 1-99.

2Read the following chapters to adjust or select the respective modes.

Adjusting the Gentle Wake Volume

A sure way of getting up in the mornings, the gentle wake volume for the alarm begins from gentle volume e.g Lo:00 (low) and gradually increases to a higher volume e.g. H1:11.

The default volume range is Lo:00 and H1:16. If you wish to change the default volume for the buzzer, radio or CD alarm:

1In the standby mode, press ALARM 1 MODE/ OFF or ALARM 2 MODE/ OFF once.

2As soon as Lo:00 appears, press 7 or 8 once or more to adjust the starting volume of your alarm.

3To set the maximum volume for your alarm, press ALARM 1 MODE/ OFF or ALARM 2 MODE/ OFF again to change to the H1:16 display.

4As soon as H1:16 appears, press 7 or 8 until you reach the desired volume level (10-32).

Notes:

The HI volume is always greater or equal to the Lo volume: e.g.i. Lo:15, H1:19

e.g.ii. Lo:12, H1:12

The starting volume is Lo:00, with a possible low volume range 00-32, and the maximum volume is H1:32, with a possible high volume range

10-32.

The gentle wake volume settings do not affect normal CD and radio playback volume level.

It is not possible to review the gentle wake volume range during the active alarm call as pressing ALARM 1 MODE/ OFF or ALARM 2 MODE/ OFF cancels the alarm completely.

During the alarm call, if you press 7 or 8 the high volume stops increasing immediately.
