How to Set the Time on an ILA Clock

The time on an ILA clock is presented digitally.

Setting the time on an ILA (Independent Living Aids) clock can be a little confusing as the clock squeaks and chimes at you to indicate when you should set the clock and the alarm. However, once you understand the "code" it is really quite simple. The sound pattern is as follows: squeak, chime, chime, chime. The squeak means the alarm is on and there will be a bell on the screen. The first chime after the squeak enters the time-set function. The second chime after the squeak enters the alarm-set function. The third chime after the squeak indicates the alarm has been turned off.

Instructions

1. Press the Mode/Alarm On/Off button located below the face of the clock, second from the left. When pressed, the clock will squeak to indicate the alarm is on, and a bell icon will appear on the screen.

2. Press the Mode/Alarm On/Off button again, and you will hear a chime. This indicates you can set the clock. The time will flash on the screen while you are setting the time.

3. Press the Hour/Alarm Sound button to set the hour. The Hour/Alarm Sound button is on the right of the Mode/Alarm On/Off button.

4. Press the Mode/Alarm On/Off button again if you want to set the alarm-the clock will chime and "AL" will appear on the screen while the numbers flash.

5. To turn off the alarm, press the Mode/Alarm On/Off button again, and you will hear a third chime.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure your ILA clock is plugged in, and you have installed two "AAA" batteries for the battery backup, prior to setting the time.
