Functions
The innovative «voice memo» technology of
the Braun voice memo allows recording of an
acoustic message (speech or music), which
is played back as part of the alarm signal and
thus can make waking up more pleasant.
Maximum recording length is 10 seconds.
Messages can be recorded onto the voice
memo chip as often as desired. The chip
retains its recorded information even when
the batteries are removed.
Playback of the acoustic message occurs by
means of a loudspeaker, either at the touch of
a button or as part of the alarm signal.
To work properly, the clock should be used
only at temperatures above freezing (0°C).
Batteries
The Braun voice memo uses 3 alkaline
Mignon batteries (LR 6, MN 1500, AM 3, AA
alkaline). One battery (
symbol in the
battery compartment) is used for the clock
and all three are used for the digital memory.
lf only the clock battery is inserted, the
recording and playback functions of the
«voice memo» chip cannot be activated.
Do not use rechargeable batteries, since their
voltage level is too low.
Insertion of batteries
To open the battery compartment, slide the
lid at the back of the clock in the direction of
the arrow. Make sure that the poles of the
batteries are in the right direction. Slide the lid
back into the clock until it engages.
bcs
This clock has a «battery check system»
(bcs), which constantly checks the battery
voltage level. When the battery voltage drops
below a certain level, the second hand moves
in two-second intervals. This indicates that
the batteries should be replaced. When new
batteries are inserted, the second hand will
move in 2-second intervals for 8 seconds
(4 times). lf the second hand moves normally
thereafter, the batteries have enough voltage.
Deterioration of the tone quality is a signal
that the battery voltage is no longer sufficient
for the recording and playback functions.
Replace all three batteries.
Do not dispose of empty batteries in
the household waste. Take them to
special local collection sites.
Recording
The slider switch at the back of the clock has
four positions:
buzzer:
Alarm function only with buzzer,
without acoustic message
volume 1: Acoustic message, volume level 1
volume 2: Acoustic message, volume level 2
record:
Recording of an acoustic
message
In order to record an acoustic message, push
the slider switch all the way to the end/
position «record» and hold. Input the desired
message directly into the microphone (
above
the loudspeaker) or hold the microphone
directly in front of the acoustic source (radio,
etc.). As long as capacity of the «voice
memo» chip – maximum 10 seconds – is still
available, the control lamp next to the
microphone lights up red. When the full
capacity has been reached, the control lamp
is turned off and recording is terminated.
Every new recording completely erases the
previous recording. lf the slider switch is not
held at the position «record», it will auto-
matically slide back to the position «volume
2», in order to prevent involuntary erasing of
the recorded message.
Playback
Press the yellow «repeat» button briefly to
hear a recorded message. The entire length
of the acoustic message is played back.
When the slider switch is in the position
«volume 1», playback is at a lower volume
level than in the position «volume 2».
Playback when the alarm function is
activated
When the alarm function has been activated
and the slider switch is in the position
«volume 1» or «volume 2», the alarm goes off
in the following sequence: first the buzzer,
then playback of the acoustic message, and
then again the buzzer, until it is shut off.
The buzzer after the acoustic message can
be shut off via «voice control» – any word
suffices. The acoustic message and also the
buzzer can be shut off manually (see «voice
control/light/snooze»).
Setting the time
Press the button at the back of the clock so
that the button pops out. Only turn this but-
ton clockwise (direction of the arrow).
Important: After setting the time, press the
button back into the housing.
Setting the alarm
The alarm setting wheel at the side of the
clock is used to move the alarm hand to the
desired position. This wheel must be turned
only in the direction of the arrow.
Alarm function
The alarm function is activated by pressing
the green button marked «on», deactivated
by pressing the red button «off». To avoid
accidentally switching on the alarm, the lock
switch should be turned on when travelling:
press the switch marked «lock» all the way to
the end, in the direction of the «on» button.
lf the alarm is desired with buzzer only/no
acoustic message, the slider switch at the
back of the clock should be slid into the
position «buzzer».
voice control/light/snooze
After the third signal of the buzzer or after the
acoustic message has been played, the
alarm can be stopped via voice control – any
word suffices. The voice control interruption
always activates the 8 minute snooze
function and simultaneously turns on the dial
illumination for ca. 4 seconds. The snooze
function can be activated a total of ca. 4 times
= ca. 30 minutes.
The clock face can also be illuminated for ca.
4 seconds by pressing either the alarm «on»
or «off» buttons. For the pocket flashlight
function one of the buttons must be held
continuously.
Subject to change without notice.
