To set the sleep timer, press the Sleep key on the remote control repeatedly to cycle through the sleep time options: Sleep OFF, 15 MINS, 30 MINS, 45 MINS, or 60 MINS. Stop when the required time is displayed, after a brief moment the screen returns to the screen being used before the sleep function was selected. On the now playing screens, the remaining sleep time is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Alternatively select Menu > Main menu > Sleep and select from the sleep timer options. Once you select a sleep period, the system returns to the main menu. Press Menu to return to the now playing screen. To cancel a sleep time, select Sleep OFF from the sleep options using
either of the above methods.
Note: Asleep time is automatically canceled if the radio is put into Standby.

 Alarms

To set or change an alarm, either press Alarm on the remote control or select Menu > Main menu > Alarms.

Select the alarming number (1 or 2) then configure the following parameters:

•  Enable: Off, Daily, Once, Weekends, or Weekdays
•  Time: 12:00 AM (adjust as necessary)
•  Date: 01-01-2007 (adjust as necessary – this option is usually hidden and only required if ‘Once’ is selected in the Enable field).
•  Mode: Buzzer, Internet radio, DAB or FM
•  Preset: Last listened or 1-10
•  Volume: 0- 32

To save these settings and set the alarm, scroll down and select save.

Note: If you press Back or Menu to exit the Alarm settings without saving, a dialogue screen is displayed asking if you wish to save the changes or not. The now playing, the screen shows active set alarms with an icon at the bottom left. The standby screen shows active set alarms with an icon. At the set time, the alarm will sound. To temporarily silence it, press the OK knob. Press OK knob repeatedly cycles through the available snooze periods: 5 Mins, 10 Mins, 15 Mins, and 30 Mins. The radio returns to standby for the set period, with the silenced alarm icon flashing and a countdown of the remaining snooze period. After the set snooze time, the alarm will sound again. During a snooze
period, to change the snooze time, press the OK knob to select a new snooze time. Any remaining snooze time is reset to the selected time period. To cancel a sounding alarm, or an alarm in snooze, press Standby.
