Strike On The Hour Function; Alarm Terminal Cycle; Power; Clock Display Light - Now & Zen Zen Timepiece Manual

Operation
repeat mode the clock will continuously countdown to zero
seconds, strike once, and repeat the programmed countdown.
As in the regular countdown mode, pressing the LARGE
WOOD BUTTON once pauses the count, pressing it a
second time resumes the repeating countdown.

Strike on the Hour Function

In the clock mode, holding down the "SET CLOCK/TIMER"
button for three seconds (when the alarm is not set) will
activate the hour chime function. This causes the clock to
strike once on the hour, every hour. When the hour chime
function is activated, a small "grandfather clock" icon appears
in the upper left of the display. Holding down the "SET
CLOCK/TIMER" button again for three seconds turns off the
hour chime function and its icon. When the alarm is activated,
the hour chime function is automatically turned off until the
alarm is turned off (so you can sleep!).

Alarm Terminal Cycle

At the end of the clock's ten minute strike progression
sequence (in either the clock or countdown modes), the clock
will be striking every 6.5 seconds—this is the "terminal cycle"
16
wherein the strikes will continue at 6.5 second intervals for
about another five minutes, unless the strike sequence is shut
off by pressing the LARGE WOOD BUTTON.

Power

If you use alkaline batteries (recommended), battery life will
typically last one year with everyday use. If the chime on the
hour function is used continuously, this may cause the
batteries to run down sooner. When your battery power
becomes low the Zen Timepiece will alert you by displaying
"Lb" in place of the seconds in the lower right corner of the
LCD display.

Clock Display Light

The display light comes on for 10 seconds when any of the
clock's buttons are pressed. The "RING HI/LO SECOND"
button turns the light on and off, but the light goes off
automatically after 10 seconds to save the batteries.

Care of Your Zen Timepiece

The Zen Timepiece is designed for indoor use only. Keep it
