Operation Guide 2696/2832(B)

Your watch comes with five alarms and an hourly time signal.

Daily Alarms (AL 1 to AL 4)
The watch beeps for about 10 seconds when an alarm time is
reached.

Snooze Alarm (SNZ)
With the snooze alarm, the watch beeps for 10 seconds when the
alarm time is reached, and up to seven times at five-minute
intervals thereafter (approximately 30 minutes total). Pressing any
button stops the beeper, but the alarm will sound again after five
minutes.

Hourly Time Signal
The hourly time signal causes the watch to beep twice every hour
on the hour.

When you enter the Alarm Mode, the screen for the alarm that was
displayed when you last exited the mode appears first.
