iPod: Setting up multiple clocks

iPod Software 1.0 for iPod nano and Fifth Generation iPod allow iPod to keep multiple clocks for different time zones. This feature is also known as World Clock. You'll find the new clock features in the Extras menu (Extras > Clock).

About the Clock

Each clock displays an analog style clock face that shows the time, the name of a city in the chosen time zone, and the digital time. During daytime hours (from 6:00 AM to 5:59 PM), the clock features a white face with black hands; at nighttime (from 6 PM to 5:59 AM), the clock displays a black face with white hands.

You can add as many clocks to the Clock menu as you like. The clocks will appear in the Clock menu, in the order in which you add them—not alphabetically or by time zone.

Adding a Clock

1. Select New Clock from the Clock menu.
   
   
   
   
2. From the Region menu, select a region from the list.
3. You'll see a City menu that lists cities (in alphabetical order) that represent the different time zones in your selected region. Please note that some city lists can be quite long.
4. From the City menu, select the city that represents the clock you wish to create.
5. View your new clock in the Clock menu.

Settings

When you select a clock, you can change its settings, including:

• Alarm Clock
  Each clock can have it own alarm (see below for steps to set an alarm).
• Change City
  You can change a clock to represent a different city.
• Daylight Saving Time
  You can set the clock for daylight saving time when the city observes it.

Alarm Clock

If you want to make sure you don't oversleep, or need an audible reminder, you can set an alarm on any clock (each clock can have its own alarm). To set an alarm:

1. Select the desired clock in the Clock menu.
2. Select Alarm Clock from the city name's menu.
3. In the Alarm Clock menu, select Alarm to change its status from Off to On.
4. In the Alarm Clock menu, select Time, and on the next screen set the time that you want the alarm to sound.
5. In the Alarm Clock menu, select Sound and then select a sound or playlist. If you select Beep, iPod will play the alarm through its internal speaker. If you select a playlist, you'll need to connect speakers or headphones to your iPod to hear the alarm.
6. In the Clock menu, you'll see a bell icon next to any clock that has its alarm set.

Deleting a Clock

1. Select the unwanted clock in the Clock menu.
2. Select Delete This Clock from the city name's menu.

Sleep Timer

Like previous versions of iPod Software, you can set iPod to turn off automatically after playing music or a slideshow after a specified period of time. This feature is called the Sleep Timer. Even though the Sleep Timer menu option appears in each clock's menu, you can only have one Sleep Timer. Setting the timer in any one clock sets the global setting for the Sleep Timer.
