6. Use the appropriate check box to determine the weekday the alarm should go off.

the "Sound file" field.
9. Select "Choose signal" if a different sound is to be set as the alarm signal. A file list will open –
move up and down the list to select the desired file (cf. File manager). The TIMALARM.WAV,
BELL.WAV or ROOSTER.WAV files are recommended. Press B9 or Return to confirm the default
button "Apply", which will close the dialog. The new alarm is now selected and its path given in
the "Sound file" field.
10. The "Vibration on" check box is unchecked by default. When checking you get a list with pre-
defined vibration patterns. Move left or right to select the desired pattern and confirm OK.
11. Confirm with "OK" to finish the settings and exit the alarm dialog with "OK".
When the wake-up time arrives VarioUltra will sound the selected alarm and/or vibrate according to the
selected pattern. A message will also be displayed with the alarm name. If the alarm is ignored VarioUltra
will sound the alarm every 10 seconds for up to 3 minutes. You can "snooze" the alarm by pressing any
key except B9. In this case, the dialog closes and the alarm activates again 10 seconds later.
To quit the alarm press B9 or confirm the OK button in the dialog.
