Operating Instructions
Activating and Deactivating the Alarm
The Scout alarm clock features a unique rotation mechanism to control the alarm function.

Image: This composite image illustrates how to activate and deactivate the alarm. When the side marked "AN" (ON) is facing up, the alarm is active. When the side marked "AUS" (OFF) is facing up, the alarm is deactivated. The middle section shows the clock being rotated to switch between these states.
- To activate the alarm, rotate the alarm clock so that the side marked "AN" (ON) is facing upwards. The display will show the current time and the set alarm time.
- To deactivate the alarm, rotate the alarm clock so that the side marked "AUS" (OFF) is facing upwards. The alarm icon will disappear from the display.
Snooze Function
When the alarm sounds, press the SNOOZE button (located on the top of the clock) to temporarily silence the alarm. The alarm will sound again after a short interval (typically 5-10 minutes).
Display Illumination (Light Button)
Press the LICHT (LIGHT) button (located on the top of the clock) to illuminate the display for a few seconds, allowing you to view the time in the dark.
Permanent Night Illumination (Twilight Switch)
On the back of the alarm clock, locate the twilight switch. This switch allows you to enable or disable permanent display illumination during nighttime hours. When enabled, the display will automatically light up dimly in low-light conditions.
Maintenance
- Clean the alarm clock with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Avoid exposing the alarm clock to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.
