6.1.3. Setting dual time
In DUAL TIME you can set the time for a location in a dierent time zone.
To set dual time:
1. In TIME-DATE, select DUAL TIME.
2. Change the hour, minute and second values with [+] and [- Light] .
NOTE: We recommend that you set the current time at your current location as the main
time because the alarm clock emits alarms according to the main time.

the time at your current location. Now you always know the local time and you can quickly
check what time it is at home.
