How to use PilotWatch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Pilot Watch uses system time and time formats to display time.
If you'd like to change between AM/PM and 24H formats do this
in system preferences
* Dual time can be set only if selected. Move hands with the stylus
to set the dual time
* Use menu to reset the dual time to the system time
* Alarms are triggered using the selected time mode: dual or system time
* Alarm time can be set either by moving alarm marks or by pressing alarm
time digits
* Alarms with the time in the past will be automatically turned off
* 'Mon-Fri', 'Sat' or 'Sun' (de)select days of the week for daily alarms
* 'Snooze' repeats an alarm once in 10 min, if checked
* 'Light' turns backlight after an alarm
* If an alarm sounds, press 'Up' or 'Down' to turn off alarm sound
* Scheduled snooze alarms can be disabled by unchecking 'Snooze'
* If you use AM/PM time format, 12.00 am/pm is handled as 00.00 pm in the
counters behind the digit buttons. So you go to 10.00 am/pm or to 01.00 am/pm
of you press hour digit buttons.
* Changing the alarm sound parameters, remember that the duration and the tone
frequency cannot be null. If you try to set a value to null, the default value
will be used
* If the system alarm sound is used, the "flash" feature is unavailable
