4.1 Control Buttons and Knob

• SW1-SW5 Buttons: Used to switch between the six main display modes (Time, Date, Weekday, Alarm, Timer, Brightness Control).
• Drejeknap: Used for setting time/wake-up time, starting/pausing timers, and adjusting LED brightness/flashing speed.

4.2 Skærmtilstande

The device supports six distinct display modes, accessible via the SW buttons.

Billede 4.2: Visual representation of the six display modes available on the PEMENOL Digital Alarm Clock. These include Time Display, Date Display, Weekday Display, Alarm Mode, Timer Mode, and Brightness Controller.

• Tidsvisning: Shows current hours, minutes, and seconds.
• Datovisning: Shows current year, month, and day.
• Weekday Display: Viser den aktuelle ugedag.
• Alarmtilstand: Allows setting and activating the alarm. When the alarm triggers, the 7-color LEDs will light up and flash, accompanied by an audible alert.
• Timertilstand: Offers both count-up (stopwatch) and countdown functionalities. Preset countdown options include 5, 15, 30, and 60 minutes.
• Brightness Controller: Adjusts the brightness and flashing speed of the 7-color LEDs.

4.3 Indstilling af tid og dato

Specific instructions for setting time and date are typically provided in the detailed product manual. Generally, this involves entering a setting mode using one of the SW buttons and then using the rotary knob to adjust values.

4.4 Brug af timerfunktioner

Navigate to the Timer Mode using the appropriate SW button.

• Nedtælling: Select a preset countdown (5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes) or set a custom time using the rotary knob. Press the knob to start/pause.
• Optælling (Stopur): In this mode, the display will count upwards. Press the knob to start/pause.

Billede 4.3: Examples demonstrating the practical applications of the timer function, such as timing for brushing teeth (5 minutes), cleaning (15 minutes), exercise (30 minutes), and reading (60 minutes).

5. Vedligeholdelse

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your PEMENOL GY21863 Digital Alarm Clock, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Rensning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the acrylic casing eller elektroniske komponenter.
