1. Start: The clock starts counting up.
2. Stop: The clock stops counting.
3. Zero: The clock time is reset to zero.
4. Plus: Add one second to the current clock state. This can be done while the clock is stationary or while it's counting.
Figure 3.3: Plus/Minus Time Settings Page
5. More: In the "Count-up" mode, input the number of seconds or milliseconds to add or subtract, then click the "Plus" or "Minus" button to adjust the clock.
6. Minus: Subtract one second from the current clock state. This can be done while the clock is stationary or while it's counting.
7. Count: The clock starts counting from zero or from the set display time, with the time increasing.
8. Display
Figure 3.4: Display Settings Page
- A. Color Adjustment: Adjust the color of the clock LEDs by enabling individual "Red," "Green," or "Blue" buttons, or by turning on multiple colors simultaneously.
- B. Front Zero Show: When enabled, the hour and minute digits remain constantly lit. When disabled, the hour and minute digits are hidden, and only appear when seconds carry over to the next minute.
- C. Brightness Adjustment: Drag the slider left or right to adjust the brightness of the front LED or back LED of the clock.
9. Count Down: The clock starts a countdown from the current time.
Figure 3.5: Count Down Settings Page
- Stop to 0: The clock stops when it reaches 0:00:00.
- Start from 0: The clock starts counting up when it reaches 0:00:00.
- Note: The countdown time setting must not be earlier than the current time. For example, if the current time is 10:00:00 Beijing Time, the countdown time should be set to a time after 10:00:00. Setting it to 8:00:00 would not meet the requirements.
10. Internal Time: The clock displays the elapsed time from the last synchronization to the current moment.
11. Internet Time: The clock will display the current internet time.
12. Set Number: Enter the time you want the clock to display, then click the "Set" button. The clock will display the set time. Note: The input time must be in the correct format. Invalid time formats cannot be set (e.g., 12:60:61.)
(III) Other Feature Settings
Figure 3.6: Other Feature Settings Page
1. Sleep: The clock enters sleeping mode, and all LED light beads turn off, displaying only the time separator.
2. Awaken: The clock enters working mode, and all LED light beads light up. Note: The clock cannot execute the sleep/wake-up command while in timing mode. To activate sleep/wake-up mode, you need to pause or reset the clock beforehand.
3. Count Down To: Set the target time for the clock. After selecting this option, the clock will count down to the set time, and once the countdown reaches the target, it will reset to zero and begin counting forward. For example, if an event is scheduled to start at 8:00:00 AM, set the target time to 8:00:00, and the set time should be later than the current time. When the clock reaches 8:00:00, it will reset to zero and begin counting up.
4. **:**:**: Sync the mobile device's time with the clock. This time sync feature can only be set via Bluetooth.
