Setting Mode

Usually you will want to set the clock up using the browser interface, because it is much easier 
to understand and quicker that way.

To enter setting mode, press the button for more than 1 second (“medium press”).

Each medium press of more than 1 second will move the setting mode onto the next. When you
finish the setting modes, the clock returns to normal time display mode.

To exit 

the setting mode before going through all the options, press the button for more than 2

seconds (“long press”). Another way of exiting is to cycle through all of the setting options, 
after which you will return to time mode.

To change a setting, press the button for less than one second, and then release it (“short 
press”).
