Here the range of value in lux extends from "Disabled" (for switched off) through 1 to
80,000 lux, incl. appropriate increments, i.e. 10 is followed by 20 lux, 30,000 by 40,000
lux.

The threshold value is then announced acoustically, and the display returns to the home
screen. An additional icon appears on the top left to show that the light notifier is
activated. The light notifier is now running in the background and will not sound until the
brightness level passes the threshold value (level exceeds or falls short of the
threshold).
The light notifier is switched off by calling up the function again, when the numerical
value for the threshold value should be set to "Disabled".
Examples of measured values:
•
Dark room or nighttime outdoors ....................... single-digit lux values
•
Weak lighting or shade ...................................... double-digit lux values
•
Normally illuminated room,
sunlight on a cloudy day ..................................... three to four-digit lux values
•
Strong lighting, e.g. directly under a
bright lamp or in direct sunlight ......................... four to five-digit lux values.
6.6 Compass
The Zeitgeist 2 features a built-in compass, which calibrates itself with movement of the
device.
This involves moving the device for example in a figure of eight
∞
, with the measuring
accuracy increasing subject to sufficient motion. After calling up the compass, you
should therefore first improve the measuring accuracy before relying on the measured
results.
Then hold the device steady as usual to hear the points of the compass. When doing so,
pay attention to how you hold the device or how it is positioned, e.g. on a table:
identification of the points of the compass is always made in the longitudinal axis of the
Zeitgeist 2.
You will be informed of the compass point both via voice output and on the display, e.g.
NNO = north-north-east with the associated angle degrees.
The device does not immediately announce the compass point when you call up this
function, although it is already shown on the display.
In this operating state, known as Display north, the device will generate a special jingle
when you reach north while moving the device.
If you press
Top SHORT
or
Middle SHORT
, you will hear details of the current direction
including the angle degrees and accuracy.
You should, of course, not move the device during this announcement or the voice
output will no longer correspond to the constantly updated display.
