Setting the Alarms
Note:
Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 are set the same way;
Alarm Button
below means the button (
Alarm 1 Button
or
Alarm 2
Button
) for whichever alarm you are setting.
1. Press and hold the
Alarm 1 Button
or
Alarm 2 Button
until the alarm time flashes on the lower part of the display. Press
and release the
+
or
– Button
to set the alarm time (press and hold for faster setting). Remember to set the correct AM
or PM time.
2. Press and release the
Alarm Button
again to confirm the set alarm time, then press and release the
+
or
– Button
to set
the alarm schedule (‘wake 7 days’ = the whole week, ‘wake weekday’ = Monday through Friday, ‘wake weekend’ = Saturday
and Sunday only).
3. Press and release the
Alarm Button
again, then press and release the
+
or
– Button
to select an alarm source to wake
to: (Dock 1 Dock 2, USB, Radio or Buzzer).
For wake to Dock 1 or Dock 2
:
select Dock 1 to wake to a docked Lightning-compatible iPhone or iPod or Dock 2 to wake
to Lightning-compatible iPad, iPhone or iPod. By default, the Dock 1 and Dock 2 alarm wakes to the last track played on a
docked device (”Normal Wake”). You can also wake to a custom playlist. To do so, press and release the
+
or
– Button
to select “Playlist Wake”. You must create a playlist named “iHome” in iTunes and have it on your iPad/iPhone/iPod. The
unit will play music randomly from within the “iHome” playlist. If no playlist is found, unit will default to last track played. If
the unit does not detect an iPhone/iPod at the set alarm time, the unit will default to buzzer alarm. The alarm cycle lasts
for one hour; make sure you have enough music on your iPad, iPhone or iPod to last that long.
For wake to USB
:
select USB to wake to an iPad, iPhone or iPod connected to the USB port. As with wake to Dock 1 or
Dock 2, you can wake to either the last track played (“Normal Wake”) or to a custom playlist (choose “Playlist Wake” as
detailed above).
For wake to radio
: after selecting Radio as the wake to source, press and release the
Alarm Button
and then press and
release the
+
or
– Button
to select a radio station or press and release the
Radio Presets Button
to select a preset radio
station to wake to (see
Listening to Radio
on page 5 for details on setting radio stations and presets).
4. Press and release the
Alarm Button
again, then press and release the
+
or
– Button
to set the alarm volume.
5. Press and release the
Alarm button
again (or no button within 10 seconds) to exit the alarm setting mode. The alarm will
be armed once set and the corresponding alarm icon will light up. The lower part of the display will show the earliest set
alarm time.
Reviewing, Arming and Disarming Alarm (Turn Alarm Function On and Off)
Alarms are automatically armed when set. Active alarms are indicated by alarm icons on the display.
1. Once an alarm is armed, the lower part of the display will show the alarm time. If more then one alarm is armed, the earliest
alarm time will show.
2. To review the alarm time, press an alarm button once. The related alarm time and wake source will show on the lower part
of the display.
3. During alarm review, press and release the
Alarm Button
once to toggle it on or off. If the alarm is armed, the related alarm
icon will light up.
Resetting the Alarm to Come on the Next Day
1. When the alarm is sounding, press and release the
Power Button
,
Wakeup Button
,
Alarm 1 Button
or

to stop the alarm and reset it to come on the next set day. For example, if alarm is set for weekdays and you reset the alarm
on Friday, the alarm will come on again on Monday, not Saturday.
Snooze
1. To program a custom snooze time, press and hold the
Snooze Button
during normal operation (when alarm is not sound-

after the alarm sounds. The alarm will be silenced and come on again 9 minutes later (or at the
custom minute interval you set). Snooze can be pressed several times during the 1 hour alarm cycle.
