READING THE MINUTES IN TIME PORTAL MODE
This is my favorite display mode
–– the best art.
It looks
hard to read, but once you get familiar it’s easy. It’s
wonderful how our minds do this trick. Enjoy!
The colors all have the same value as the Linked Modes.
All the minutes are randomly positioned .
Each blue is 10 minutes.
A yellow is 5 minutes.
Each green is a minute.
3:34
9:37
WHEN YOU SELECT A NEW MODE
In all Modes,
TS
renews the display every 10 seconds. So
when changing Modes it can take up to 10 seconds before
you see the results.
SELECTABLE FEATURES ARE:
Selecting any of 8 time display modes.
HOURLY CHIME ON/OFF (a toggle)
Selecting 8 turns ON or OFF the chime
sound
but the
hourly chime
display dance
still works. A
ding
sound
means you just turned the chime ON.
SOFTER CHIME ON/OFF
(a toggle)
Selecting 9 reduces chime volume by about 50%. A
ding
sound means you just reduced the volume.
DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
See next page for how to control the clocks’ brightness.
