Submenu 2.7: Setting Switch on Time for
Night Power-Down Mode
This submenu is similar to submenu 2.6 but it shows
the time the display is switched on.
If you do not want to use the night power-down mode,
set both times (submenu 2.6 and 2.7) equal.
Accordingly, the display shall never switch off.
Setup Example:
• The clock shall automatically switch on at 06:45:00
AM

main menu 2.
• Clock starts running in display mode.
Submenu 2.8: Blanking of the Leading
Zero
The leading zero of the time display (example:
01:00:00) can be disabled. This means that instead of
showing '0' the first tube is completely switched off.
If this submenu is entered, the display shows 08:00:xx
whereas 'xx' indicates the following:
00: Blanking is not active (first '0' will be displayed)
01: Blanking is active (first '0' will not be displayed).
This setting does not influence the way the date is
displayed. (example: The date '01.01.09' will be
displayed completely)
Setup Example:
• The value in this menu shall be set to 01.
• Clock is in display mode.
• Press button 1 (short) to enter the main menu 2.

11. Setting Alarm Clock

The alarm function can be switched on and off in
display mode.
If the alarm function is switched off and button 2 is
pressed long time (1 second), the alarm function
shall be switched on. In this case the display
changes to the actual set alarm time and the
buzzer beeps twice. After 1 second (button 2 is not
pressed) the display switches back to display
mode.
If the alarm function is switched on, and button 2 is
pressed long (1 second), the alarm function shall
be switched off. In this case the display changes to
the actual set alarm time and the buzzer beeps
once. After 1 second the display switches back to
display mode.
If the alarm clock function is switched on and the
alarm time is reached, the alarm tone shall beep.
In the event the alarm starts while the clock is in
power-down mode, it automatically switches to
display mode. After 30 minutes the clock shall
switch back to night power-down mode (in case the
switch on time of the night power-down mode is not
already reached).
If button 3 is pressed while the alarm sounds, the
alarm signal gets switched off.
If the alarm is not switched off by pressing button 3
it automatically switches off after 30 minutes.
Setting example:
• The alarm function shall be switched on.
• The clock is in display mode.
• Press button 2 long time (1 second)
• The display changes to the set alarm time and
the buzzer beeps either once or twice.
• If the buzzer has only beeped once, then the
alarm function would be switched off now, and
button 2 would have to be pressed once again.
Then the buzzer beeps twice and the alarm
function is switched on.
• After one second the display returns to display
mode.
