The 

calendar 

comprises up to 20 reminders, which can be set at long intervals ahead 

and combined with a voice recording. 

 

The "ringing" of the two modes can be deferred repeatedly (

Snooze function

). 

 

Both reminder functions offer quick access to the home screen (section 5.1), which, for 

example, displays the number of active alarms and calendar entries, also indicating how 

long until the next alarm or calendar entry will "ring". 

The same information is likewise provided with information retrieval using both functions 

in the main menu, via the 

Middle 

button 

SHORT

 

Whatever the operating state, if you wish to cancel settings about to be implemented, 

use: 

Combination 

Top+Bottom SHORT 

…….............. To return to the home screen 

Middle LONG 

………… To return to the list of alarms or calendar entries 

 

Note:

 If you perform a RESET on the Zeitgeist 2, all alarms will be deleted, although the 

Calendar and Period calendar entries will be retained. 

 

6.3.1  Alarm 

After calling up the function in the main menu, first select the alarm you require, i.e. the 

days on which the relevant alarm is to be activated: 

Daily

Working Day

 (Monday to 

Friday) or just at the 

Weekend 

(Saturday, Sunday) should you want to sleep in on those 

days. 

 

After scrolling up or down with 

Top

 or 

Bottom SHORT

, open the relevant alarm with 

Middle LONG

. If it is switched off, it first has to be switched on with 

Top

 or 

Bottom 

SHORT

 and confirmed with 

Middle SHORT

Note:

 An activated alarm is switched off again the same way. 

Next enter the hours (0 to 23) and minutes (0 to 59), using 

Top

 or 

Bottom SHORT

 to 

select and 

Middle SHORT

 to move forward. 

Finish by selecting the jingle you require. 18 different short sound patterns are available 

here (e.g. melodies, animal sounds, ringtones). 

After you confirm your selection with 

Middle SHORT

, the Zeitgeist 2 will acoustically 

summarize the selected settings again and then return to the home screen. 

Note:

 Only one alarm can be created for each Day mode, with the Zeitgeist thus 

distinguishing between three alarms. 

Sounding of the alarm incl. the Snooze function takes place as follows: 

The Zeitgeist 2 vibrates, the display flashes, and the jingle is simultaneously played in an 

endless loop. The buttons are now assigned as follows: 

 

Top SHORT

  ....... Snooze function Long, 

  

after button is pressed, alarm will be repeated after 

9 minutes

 

 

Bottom SHORT

  . Snooze function Short, 

  

after button is pressed, alarm will be repeated after 

3 minutes
