For example, when setting a time in the calendar:
As you move forward by one step between year/month/day, etc. by pressing
Middle
SHORT
,
you are simultaneously confirming the previous item.
The individual numerical value, e.g. number for the day, is selected by repeatedly
pressing
Top
or
Bottom SHORT
.
As regards
button combinations
when two buttons are pressed simultaneously, the
device distinguishes between
SHORT
and
LONG
as well.
The most important combination that is valid wherever you happen to be is:
Top and
Bottom SHORT
=
Escape
from the functions; this will take you back to the home
screen.
The buttons have specific functions depending on the one selected. See the following
sections for further explanations.
Note for the sighted:
At certain points in the following sections you will also see diagrams accompanying the
written explanations with a brief description of the button presses.
A distinction is again made here between individual buttons, button combinations,
LONG
and
SHORT
.

(key lock)
The device also features a button lock (key lock) for carrying the Zeitgeist 2 about and to
prevent unintentional operations.

icon on the display indicate the locked status.
The sequence of buttons used for locking and unlocking is the same:

;
the Zeitgeist 2 will confirm the operation with a voice message and indicate the status
with an icon in the top left corner of the display.
4.2 Silent mode
The silent mode can be used to turn off all sound notifications at once, leaving only the
vibration signals. The silent mode is meant for any occasions where it could be
disturbing if a jingle sounds (e.g. when visiting a cinema, theater or concert etc.).
The sequence of buttons used for activating and deactivating the silent mode is the
same:
Simultaneously press all three buttons
SHORT
immediately followed by
Bottom
SHORT
; the Zeitgeist 2 will confirm the operation with a voice message and indicate the
status with an icon in the top left corner of the display.
When the silent mode is activated, the following happens in detail:
•
The alarm, timer and calendar events will be muted and the device will only signal
a new event or alarm by vibration.
