  Three settings are available:

  • ALARM ON SOUND
  • ALARM ON BEEP
  •  ALARM OFF

• Note :

  • If you choose to wake to one of the Sound Card sounds, the alarm sound played back will be the last Sound Card sound that you played.
  • If you are listening to sounds in continuous mode and have selected ALARM ON SOUND, a buzzer alarm will sound in order to wake you.

• Turning The Alarm Off:

  • Your unit’s alarm will gradually increase in volume to provide a less jarring wake (the display will show WAKE UP). When your selected alarm plays back, you can turn it off by
  • pressing the SNOOZE/OFF-RESUME button or the ALARM ON/OFF BUTTON (see below):
  • Pressing the SNOOZE/OFF-RESUME button.
  • Pressing the SNOOZE/OFF-RESUME button once enters the snooze cycle (see Snooze Cycle for more details).
  • Pressing the SNOOZE/OFF-RESUME button twice turns the alarm off and leaves the alarm in the ready mode for the next day (i.e. the alarm will activate the next day at your selected alarm time).
  • Pressing the ALARM ON/OFF button
  • Pressing the ALARM ON/OFF button once turns the alarm and szooze off but will keep the alarm in ready mode for the next day’s alarm time.
    Note: If your alarm activates and you do not stop it by either one of the above methods, the alarm will automatically shut off after 30 minutes.

• Snooze Cycle :

  • When your alarm activates and you press the SNOOZE/OFF-RESUME button once, your unit enters a 10-minute snooze cycle. The display will count down the minutes left in the snooze cycle. The snooze cycle will repeat for a limitless number of cycles.
  • The snooze cycle can be turned off by pressing the SNOOZE/OFF-RESUME button twice or pressing the ALARM ON/OFF once.

• Alarm Check :

  • You can conveniently check your alarm time, alarm sound and alarm volume by pressing the CHECK ALARM/SET ALARM located on the front of the unit. ALARM CHECK will fl ash on the screen along with your selected alarm time while your selected alarm sound plays back at your last played sound volume.

• Using The Programmable Resume Feature

  • The SNOOZE/OFF-RESUME button also allows you to repeat your last played sound at the same volume and timer setting.
    Example: You are listening to a sound at half volume on the 60-minute timer position. After the timer automatically turns the unit off after 60 minutes, pressing the SOUND

  • ON/OFF button will automatically repeat the entire sequence by playing back the last played sound at half volume for another full 60 minute period.

• Volume Control:

  • To select sound playback volume, press the VOLUME button up or down .

• 30, 60, 90 Minute Timer:

  • Your unit has 4 timer options: 30, 60, 90 minutes and continuous playback. On the “30”, “60” and “90” minute timer positions, the sound gradually fades away during the last 10 minutes before the unit turns itself off to avoid a jarring off.
    To select the length of time you want your sound to be played (30, 60, or 90 minutes), press the TIMER button until you see your desired timer position indicated on the right hand side of the display.

• Back Lighting:

  • When your unit is powered by 4 “AA” batteries, pressing any button will activate the back lighting on the clock. Once activated, the backlight will stay lit for about 5 seconds.
    When your unit is AC powered (i.e. plugged into a wall outlet), you may adjust the brightness level by pressing and holding down the SLEEP ENHANCEMENT button. Three brightness levels plus “off” are available.
    Note: Sleep experts recommend keeping the time hidden while trying to fall asleep. Sound Oasis® helps this process by giving you the option of turning the backlighting off so the time is not visible at night.

• Sleep Enhancement® Technology:

  • Sleep Center research has proven that a gradual slowing of sounds helps promote better sleep and relaxation. We’ve taken that research and incorporated this exciting technique into Sound Oasis. When activated, the playback speed of your unit’s NATURE SOUNDS will gradually slow down to gently lull you to sleep.
  • Once the playback speed reaches its slowest point (close to one half of normal speed), the playback speed will remain at this level until the unit automatically turns itself off (with the 30-, 60- or 90-minute timer) or until you manually turn the unit off.
    Note :
    Only nature sounds are suitable for SLEEP ENHANCEMENT. While SLEEP ENHANCEMENT will work on melodic, music orientated sounds, you may recognize when the playback speed changes. We therefore recommend that you limit use of the SLEEP ENHANCEMENT feature to “nature only” sounds.

Using Sleep Enhancement®

1. To activate the Sleep Enhancement feature, press the SLEEP ENHANCEMENT button (“SLEEP ENH ON” will be visible on the display). Once activated, the Sleep Enhancement icon is visible on the left side of the display.
2. Any sound that you play back while the Sleep Enhancement feature is activated will experience the Sleep Enhancement effect.
3. To turn the Sleep Enhancement feature off, press the SLEEP ENHANCEMENT button until you see SLEEP ENH OFF on the display. The Sleep Enhancement icon  will no longer be visible on the display

Headphone Or Speaker Pillow Use :
For listening to sounds in private or for enhanced sound therapy, your unit includes a headphone jack (headphones not included). The headphone jack accepts a 1/8 inch (3.5mm) monaural plug.
Changing Sound Cards:
For greater variety and extra sound therapy, you can conveniently change sounds by inserting a new Sound Card. Please follow these steps to change your Sound Card:

1. Open the BATTERY COMPARTMENT on your Sound Oasis unit.
2. Slide the existing SOUND CARD out of the Sound Card slot.
3. Insert your new Sound Card into the Sound Card slot, making sure that the Sound Card label faces up as shown.
4. Replace the BATTERY COMPARTMENT.
