Setting Mode

To enter setting mode, press the button for more than 1 second (“medium press”). The “RGB 
back light” LEDs will start to flash white. The number of consecutive flashes indicates the mode
you are in.

Each medium press of more than 1 second will move the setting mode onto the next. When you
finish the setting modes, the clock returns to normal time display mode.

To exit 

the setting mode before going through all the options, press the button for more than 2

seconds (“long press”). The “RGB back light” LEDs will return back to their normal operation. 
Another way of exiting is to cycle through all of the setting options, after which you will return 
to time mode.

To change a setting, press the button for less than one second, and then release it (“short 
press”).
