Alarm Clock Help
 
 

Our large digit Alarm Clock lets you set up to 8 alarm time points during the day.  At each time point you can set an alarm and the display color.  Letting you see and hear the time change.

The time can be displayed 5 different time formats ( 10:00PM 10:00pm 10:00 22:00 and 2200 ).  Seconds can be displayed with any of these formats.  You can select a variety of fonts, colors and sizes, along with bold and shadow for the time display.  Select a white or black background. 

The Alarm Clock uses the time from your internal PC clock, but you can adjust the time for different time zones.  The Alarm Clock runs locally on your PC and it will continue to time, and sound alarms even when the browser window is minimized.

Accuracy

 

 

 
 

Our Alarm Clock has our highest level of accuracy (Level 3).  Each second the alarm clock checks itself and makes adjustments as needed.  But with that said, the accuracy and limitations of each computer will affect the accuracy of the alarm clock.

  Most computer's internal clocks are relatively accurate, but they can drift a few seconds a day, and we have no control over this.  It is up to you ascertain the accuracy and precision of your computer's parts and our Alarm Clock on your PC.  In the event your computer is accurate to your satisfaction, we still do not guarantee that our alarm clock will be accurate, or that our code is bug free or virus free.

Additional Help / Suggestions

Our Alarm Clock is provided as a free online service, so we make no promises in regard to additional help.  But, with that said, if you have a question or suggestion, email us at .
