6.2 Timer
The timer on the Zeitgeist 2 has two different modes: "Kitchen" and "Massage".
With the mode
"Kitchen"
, the time starts running as with a kitchen egg-timer, with the
end of this period being indicated by a repeated jingle.
With the mode
"Massage"
,
the time starts running in the same way, but you will also
hear two acoustic signals indicating that the end of the period is approaching. One signal
sounds halfway through the selected period, and a second signal one minute before the
end, so the massage therapist can start finishing off the massage on time.
After starting the Timer function in the main menu, use
Top
or
Bottom SHORT
to select
"Kitchen" or "Massage", or "Disabled" for switched off.
Selecting "Disabled" will also cancel a running timer.
After confirming with
Middle SHORT
, you select the number of minutes you want the
timer to run for, using
Top
or
Bottom SHORT
. A time period between 1 and 60 minutes
is possible here.
After you confirm again with
Middle SHORT
, the Zeitgeist 2 will immediately return to
the home screen, give an acoustic summary of the settings, and at once start the timer.
When the time period comes to an end, the device plays a repeated jingle (ringing tone),
the display flashes, and the buttons are assigned as follows:
•
Top SHORT
....... To switch the audio signal off
•
Middle SHORT
... As above, to retrieve additional information about the previous
time period
•
Bottom SHORT
. To repeat the timer with the current settings
Note:
If you do not respond by pressing any buttons, the ringing sound will continue
for 5 minutes and then switch off automatically.
The timer remains in "announcement mode" until you return to the home screen
manually, as usual either by pressing
Middle LONG
or the button combination
Top+Bottom SHORT
.
If you want to know the status of the timer in between times, you can either use
information retrieval in the main menu, i.e. press
Middle SHORT
with the item Timer, or,
if you have not called up another function in the meantime, you can attain the same
result with the Repeat function in the home screen also using
Middle SHORT
.
6.3 Alarm and Calendar
Designed as a multi-functional pocket watch, the Zeitgeist 2 of course also features two
multi-functional reminder modes, which comprise the functions Alarm and
Calendar.
Daily
alarms
typically take the form of jingles.
You can of course select the days of the week (weekdays/weekend) and the jingles to
be used here.
