Elite 300 Daily Alarm Settings

I totally agree - the clock is over complicated and the buttons are terrible. Instructions are very confusing. :(

Jill,

Many thanks for taking the trouble to reply, but unfortunately the information you've provided me with simply confirms my earlier comments.

How can an alarm clock be constructed which has such a poor mode of operation ? It seems if I set an alarm time for a specific day, whether it goes off on time or not is completely dependent on whether that was the last adjustment I make.

Its not something I can really rely on - what am I supposed to do; the alarm clearly showed 05:50 on screen and "Saturday" yet it didn't go off until 07:00 because that was the weekly get up time that I set for the following week ...

I could go on - I have to disable the alarm temporarily to even turn on the radio for goodness sakes.

Hi,

I think i now understand how to set the time on my lumie 300 but would like to set the wake up to Bird song, but can't get it to change from the radio. Am I missing something obvious?

Thank you for explaining the precedence rules for daily versus general alarm settings - this was driving me crazy with my recently-acquired Lumie Elite! But this is just one of several completely undocumented features. For instance: I found out for myself that the "sleep audio" was pinned to Preset no. 4 - there was nothing in the manual about that. Also, if I use the sleep audio with auto-fade, then the wake audio will be only at level 4 volume (the default) which is far too quiet - there's nothing about that in the manual either.

Please could Lumie put a little effort into usability and documentation? Given the price charged for this clock, it's only reasonable to expect a fully professional level of human-factors design and fully beta-tested documentation.

I see that Lumie invite people to contact them with questions: but the point is that it OUGHT NOT to be necessary to contact the manufacturer just to get details on basic functionality like this.

Meanwhile I'm stuck with a trade-off: if I use the (rather good) sleep meditations, then my dawn chorus waking audio will be re-set automatically at far too quiet a level! Are there any proposals to fix this problem?

Once again, please if anyone needs any help setting up or adjusting any Elite functions, we have some suggestions, please call the
Lumie Care team and we will be please to help

I agree with PhilipH.

A suggestion for the too-quiet alarm: is there a way of changing the default volume from 4 to, say, 10? That way, even after using the "sleep audio" with consequent volume re-set to "default", the volume of the wake-up audio would be loud enough to be useful. Can that be done by downloading something to an SD card?

I kindly ask how you can decrease the default volume of the alarm (I use the radio) thanks a lot

I totally agree with Chris1 - I've had my clock for almost a year now and have no idea how to change the alarm time. I like the setting and rising sun idea but the complexity of use is ridiculous. I really don't understand how Lumie as a 'market leader' can justify such a high price and absolutely pathetic user design and instructions. Not happy!
