Alarm Functions
The iBlaster Clock Radio fea-
tures a “SURE ALARM” func-
tion. If the power failure occurs or
the AC cord is accidentally dis-
connected, your alarm will not be
affected (if you have your back-
up batteries installed). However,
if back-up power is used in the
event of a power failure, the
iBlaster Clock Radio will default
to the buzzer setting.
This unit also features a
“GENTLE WAKING” function.
This means that when the alarm is
going off, it will gradually
increase in volume.
NOTE: To wake to your iPod,
your iPod must be properly
docked and off or the alarm will
not work.
First, set the alarm time as
described in the “Setting the
Alarm” section of this manual.
You can change the sound you
want to wake to by pressing the
WAKE TO button.
Press the ALARM ON / OFF button
to arm or disarm the alarm.
When the alarm is going off,
press the
POWER OFF
/
ALARM
/ RESET button on the iBlaster
Clock Radio or the POWER
ON / OFF button on the remote con-
trol to turn the alarm off. The
alarm will go off again the next
day at the same time.
To stop the alarm from going
off the next day, press the ALARM
ON / OFF button to turn the alarm
function off. The ALARM icon and
the
WAKE
icon will disappear from
the display.
If the ALARM is not turned off
after it goes off, it will continue to
go off for approximately one hour
and then it will turn itself off. This
cycle will repeat every 24 hours
unless the settings are altered.
If you are waking up to an iPod,
make sure your iPod has an hour’s
worth of songs. If not, set your
iPod to REPEAT mode.
If you choose to wake to an
iPod but there is no iPod installed,
your iBlaster Clock Radio will
default to the buzzer.
