Setting alarms and timers

Set a sleep timer to lull you to sleep, alarms to wake you up and record timers for when you’re asleep. 24 hour radio.

The Bug gets the date and time from the DAB signal. The clock is normally shown on the top line of the display but you 
can also set it to fill the whole screen, see page 15. The clock is set automatically for you the first time you switch your 
Bug on and receive DAB and is updated regularly to keep it accurate.

Note

 As the clock is provided by the DAB signal you can’t adjust the time on your Bug. The DAB radio stations are 

responsible for keeping this clock accurate and changing the time to take into account daylight saving and date 
changes. The clock is used for the alarm, sleep timer and record timer functions as described below.

Setting alarms

You can set up to two alarms and pick a different radio station for each or choose to 
hear a tone. The alarm switches your Bug on (if in standby) and tunes to the station 
you have chosen or sounds a tone. To set or change an alarm:

1.  Push the Menu button, select the Alarm/timer option and choose Alarm settings.

2.  Select one of the two alarms and choose Set to see and change the alarm settings 

or Off to switch that alarm off.

3.  Set the time you want the alarm for, days you want it to apply, whether you want a 

tone or radio alarm and station (if radio alarm) using the Navigation button.

4. Select Alarm volume and rock the navigation button left or right to set the volume 

for your alarm. Push the Menu button to save the setting and exit.

5. Select Snooze period and rock the navigation button up or down to set a snooze 

period between 5 and 30 minutes (default 8 minutes) after which the alarm will go 
off again. Push the Menu button to save the setting and exit.

   Push the Menu button to return to normal display. You will see a bell symbol on the 

screen showing that the alarm is set. The list of alarms will also now show a bell 
symbol next to the alarms that are switched on.
