In the menu, Personal is the program that allows you to create a progression day by day.

You set an initial sunrise and sunset time, then decide how many minutes these times should change each day.

Route:

MENU -> Use Program -> Prg: Personal -> OK

Screens displayed:

  1. Reset day / Count :
  2. Sunrise begin
  3. Sunset begin
  4. +/-min Sunrise
  5. +/-min Sunset
  6. How many days?
  7. Sunrise duration
  8. Sunset duration

Reset day​

The Reset day screen allows you to restart the program from the first day.

Values:

  • YES
  • NO

Choose YES when you want to start a new progression. Choose NO when you want to keep the counting already in progress.

UP or DOWN change the choice, OK confirms.

YES only resets the day count to zero. The times do not go back to the starting ones: the new progression starts from the times shown in the following screens.

The counter also restarts from zero when the time and date are changed in the Modify / Date / Time menu.

Sunrise begin​
