The peak of brain activity and human activity in general occurs in the morning. There are people who get up without any problems. But sometimes each of us is faced with an irresistible desire to sleep longer. In order to be in time, you need to wake up in time. Special devices help with this. One of them, namely the runaway alarm, will be discussed in this article.
Description
The dimensions of the device are small, only 12.5x8.5x9 cm. The weight is 350 g. The alarm clock is powered by several AAA batteries. There are four of them. They are inserted into a special compartment, which is closed with a small bolt. The device is made of high quality plastic, and the wheels are covered with rubber. The alarm clock is available in several colors. On the expanses of the network you can find a device made in white, black, blue, orange or pink. Rubber in any case will be white. The wheels are massive. They ride without problems not only on the laminate, but also on the carpets.
On the upper side of the alarm clock there are several small round buttons that allow you to adjust the time, select a mode, and also set the hours and minutes. Under them is a large key with the inscription "Snooze", with which the alarm goes off. On one side is a small LCD display, and two more buttons above it. An alarm clock looks like a small smiling robot. Below is a removable cover that hides four batteries. The device is equipped with instructions that detail the purpose of each button.
Buttons
The alarm clock, running away from a sleepy person in the morning, is executed in the style of minimalism. However, this does not mean that the manufacturer abandoned all the elements inherent in this subject. There are several buttons on the alarm clock, each of which performs a specific function.
- By pressing the “H” (“h”) button, you can choose the hour at which you need to wake up.
- “M”, or “m” allows you to set the minutes.
- Using the “A” (“a”) button, you can select the time during which the alarm will be repeated.
- “T”, or “t”, is a button that activates the ability to set an alarm.
The mechanism running away every morning has an LCD display on which time is shown. Above it are two buttons. On the right is a flat button that allows you to turn on the alarm mode. It shows a small bell. On the left, with a picture in the form of a wheel, there is a button that activates the running mode. The function "Still nap" is provided. It is called “Snooze” and allows you to select the amount of time after which the alarm will repeat. This time the mechanism will start to run away.
Time setting
In order to wake you up on time, the Clocky escaping alarm clock must be set correctly. How to choose the time?
- First you need to press the “T” (“t”) button and wait for the screen to blink.
- After that, use the “H” or “h” button to edit the clock.
- You can change the value of minutes by pressing the button labeled “M” (“m”).
In order to exit the time setting mode, press “A” again.
Activation
Time selected. What to do next? How to activate a mode called "Running away alarm"? Instructions are given in this article. First you need to click on the big button, which is called. You can’t release it until the wheel icon appears on the screen.
Snooze Mode
There are different models of runaway alarms. Some allow you to lie in bed a couple of minutes after the first signal and then begin to move. The Clocky device has a “Snooze” mode. With it, you can activate the repetition of the signal.
To enable this mode, you must click on the "Snooze" button, then on "A", and then on "M". Using this combination, a period of time is set over which the signal will repeat. By default, it is one minute. Its maximum value is 9 minutes. If the parameter is equal to zero, the mechanism will immediately begin to move. It is important to know that an alarm clock running off in the morning, after activating the "Snooze" mode, gives only one chance to get enough sleep. After the second signal, the mechanism will make sounds, and after a while it will roll into some secluded place, after which it will be difficult to find it.
Positive traits
An alarm clock running off in the morning has several advantages over other devices. Firstly, this mechanism can be called "smart." Having encountered an obstacle in his path, he tries to overcome it and is looking for ways to go around him. Finding an alarm clock that escapes and hides becomes more difficult, because the device is constantly changing its trajectory.
Secondly, the mechanism is protected from damage. It is designed in such a way that without problems it can fall from a height of up to one meter. Even if he was left on a nightstand or bedside table for the night, he would still begin to run away and hide, before jumping off a hill. Despite the fact that the manufacturer guarantees high durability of the device, do not drop it from a height of more than 60 cm. This will prevent the wheels from breaking.
Thirdly, you can configure many parameters. For example, give yourself the opportunity to sleep for nine additional minutes. In addition, the movement time of the alarm clock can also be set. The value can vary from 20 to 100 seconds. In order to change the setting, it is necessary to press the “t” button two times in a row. After that, the number - 1 will appear on the LCD. This means that the alarm will run off within twenty seconds. This value is set by default. There are five gaps in total:
- a value of 2 corresponds to 40 seconds;
- a value of 3 corresponds to 60 seconds;
- value 4 - movement will last 80 seconds;
- a value of 5 corresponds to 100 seconds.
Of course, there are downsides that a runaway alarm clock has. Its price is about 3 thousand rubles, it all depends on the store. If you order the device on the Internet, you must pay for shipping. What are the disadvantages of an alarm clock? They are not very many. The most significant minus is that the device can roll into an inaccessible place, since the dimensions of the alarm clock are small.
