General Operations
The clock has different modes of operation, which you select using the pushbutton. When
you start the clock up the very first time
it will start in “Time Display Mode”.
After it
connects to the internet and talks with the time cloud server, you will never have to set the
time or date.
If you press the button for differing lengths, different things will happen.
•
“
Short Press
” (less than 1 second): A temporary display will be shown for 5 seconds.
This is useful if you want to know the date, for example. The options here are given
in the section “Display Mode”
•
“Medium Press”
(more t
han 1 second): The clock will go into “Setting Mode” to
allow you to change settings.
•
“Long Press”
(more than 8 seconds): The clock will go into “Tube healing mode”.
Read the section on “Tube healing Mode” before using this mode. This mode can
damage your
tubes if you don’t use it correctly!
Ev
ery 10 minutes (at “xx:x9:15”, the clock will do “Anti
-
Cathode Poisoning”, which will cycle
all the digits for about 15 seconds. If enabled, the slots mode will temporary display the
date once per minute for approximately 5 seconds. The bulbs will scroll like a slot machine
before and after displaying the date.
