6.3 Adjusting Display Brightness
Press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button (short press) to cycle through 4 levels of display brightness: Bright, Medium, Low, and Off. Select the brightness level that best suits your environment.

6.4 Adjusting Projection Brightness and Orientation
Press the PROJECT button (short press) to cycle through 3 levels of projection brightness: Off, Dim, and Bright. The projection lamp can be rotated 180 degrees to project the time onto your ceiling or wall.
The image illustrates the projection feature, showing the clock projecting time onto a wall and the three available brightness levels for the projection.
Important Projection Orientation: The projection digits are only displayed correctly when the projection direction is towards the back of the alarm clock (away from the front display). If you project forward, the numbers will appear reversed. Ensure the projection is directed appropriately for correct readability.
This image clearly demonstrates the correct and incorrect projection orientations, emphasizing that projection should be directed backward for proper display.
6.5 Night Mode
The alarm clock features an automatic night mode. By default, the display brightness will automatically dim between 18:00 (6 PM) and 5:59 (5:59 AM). This time range can be adjusted to suit your preferences within the settings menu (refer to the full manual for advanced settings).
The image depicts the alarm clock operating in a low-light environment, showcasing the automatic dimming feature of the night mode.

To maintain your Ankilo Projection Alarm Clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or electronic components. Keep the projection lens clean for clear time display.
