The clock lighting can be switched on by the light key (5). By the menu key, the individual
parameters such as time, programs, percentage are reached that can be changed by the + and –
keys.
Ten programs (4) are pre-adjusted that can only be changed at the computer. By the menu key,
the individual programs are reached by pressing the + and – keys. In the same way, time (1),
light intensity in per cent (3) and the respective moon phase (2) can be adjusted. The
brightness of the pre-set program can be changed by the per cent adjustment (3). If it is set
from 100% to 50%, the intensity of light is halved. The percentages given in the program are not
affected by it in detail. The entire program is modified according to the selected proportional
indication.
Also, the data of the moon light control given in the program cannot be changed by the clock.
However, it can be specified which moon cycle is to be present on a selected day. The moon cycle
covers 28 days for the sake of simplicity, which does not correspond precisely to the reality. If one
selects for example day 14, full moon is on the day concerned.
