Setting and Controlling Alarm in iPod

You can also use the iPod’s alarm clock to wake you up or remind you of an important time. To set an alarm, perform the following steps:

1. Choose Main menu, Extras, Clock, Alarm Clock. You’ll see the Alarm Clock screen. By default, the alarm is turned off, which is indicated by the Off setting.
2. Highlight Alarm and press the Select button. The Alarm setting will become On, and the alarm will be active. The time at which the alarm is currently set to go off is shown next to the Time option on the Alarm Clock menu.
3. Highlight Time and press the Select button. You’ll see the set alarm time screen.
4. Use the Scroll pad or Click Wheel to choose the time you want the alarm to sound. Drag clockwise to increase the time or counterclockwise to decrease it.
5. When the correct alarm time is set, press the Select button. You’ll return to the Alarm Clock menu.
6. Highlight Sound. By default, the alarm sound setting will be Beep, which you can hear even if you don’t have earphones or speakers connected to the iPod. If you choose a different sound, you have to have speakers or headphones attached to the iPod to hear the alarm.
7. If you want to have a playlist start playing instead, press the Select button. You’ll see a list of playlists on your iPod.
8. Highlight the playlist you want to use as the alarm sound and press the Select button. You’ll return to the Alarm Clock menu, and the name of the selected list will be shown as the Sound setting.
9. Press the Menu button. You’ll return to the Clock display. A bell icon will appear on the right side of the time to indicate that the alarm is set. When the appointed time comes along, your iPod will turn on and play the beep sound or the selected playlist. Unless you are an incredibly light sleeper, don’t expect the Beep sound to wake you up. It isn’t very loud, and it doesn’t play very long. You’ll have better luck if you connect your iPod to speakers and use a playlist instead.
