Using the iP43 Alarms
Using the Alarms
iP43 has a dual alarm system so you can set two separate alarms to different alarm times, wake-to sources and frequencies
(daily, weekdays or weekend).
Using the Pillow Shaker
The iP43 comes with a pillow shaker that plugs into the pillow shaker jack on the back of the unit. You can wake to any alarm
mode with or without the shaker. For example, if your alarm source is set to Playlist and the pillow shaker is connected and
on, the Playlist will play AND the pillow shaker will vibrate at the set alarm time.
1. Connect the pillow shaker to the pillow shaker jack found on the rear of the unit.
2. Slide the switch to the ON (green) position and place the pillow shaker device under your pillow. When the alarm goes off,
the pillow shaker will vibrate and the alarm source will sound.
3. Slide the switch to the OFF (red) position to turn off the pillow shaker.
4. Press the
Snooze Button
on the pillow shaker to stop its vibration and silence any alarm source for the duration of snooze
time set (see Snooze Operation below) before coming on again.
