How it works

Idle Mode

The RD:AC is in idle mode, when the handset is placed on the phone and the display shows date, time, alarm, and the last number dialled. By picking up the handset, the telephone will switch to the alarm mode. Return back to the idle mode by placing the handset back on the telephone.

Alarm Mode

In this mode you can set an alarm by dialling in the time you wish to let the phone ring. Enter the time in four-digit 24-hour notation (hh:mm), confirm and activate by placing the handset back on the telephone. When the set alarm time has come, the telephone starts ringing. Pick up the handset to make the ringing stop, place the handset back down to deactivate the alarm and return to idle mode. Example: if you wish to wake up at 7 o'clock in the morning, dial in 0-7-0-0 and place the handset back on the telephone.
