-
- * 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
