Backup alarm#

The Backup Alarm is a fail-safe feature that triggers a loud, maximum-volume alarm if you ignore your primary alarm.

This ensures that even if you are an exceptionally heavy sleeper or accidentally sleep through your regular ringtone, you won’t miss your wake-up call.

Menu Path: Settings → Alarms → Backup alarm

Key Settings Explained#

Backup Alarm Duration#

Sets how long the backup alarm will ring. Once this duration expires, the alarm will automatically snooze for your default Snooze Time (but never less than 10 minutes).

Backup alarm Sound#

Choose the sound for your backup alarm.

How to disable the backup alarm:

1. Go to Settings → Alarms → Backup alarm → Sound.
2. Set the ringtone to Silent.

Note: Selecting a silent ringtone for the backup alarm will not disable vibrations. The backup alarm is designed as a last resort to ensure you wake up.

Alarm Timeout#

Defines the period of inactivity (ignoring the normal alarm) after which the backup alarm will trigger.

Repeat#

Sets the maximum number of times the backup alarm can repeat its cycle. After this limit is reached, no further alarms will sound for that session.

How it Works (Example)#

Example:

• Primary Alarm Time: 7:00 AM
• Backup Alarm Duration: 2 minutes
• Alarm Timeout: 10 minutes

Timeline of events (if no interaction):

1. 7:00 AM: Primary alarm starts ringing.
2. 7:10 AM: Primary alarm times out; the Backup Alarm starts (full volume).
3. 7:12 AM: Backup alarm finishes its 2-minute duration and automatically snoozes for 10 minutes.
4. 7:22 AM: Backup alarm starts again.

This cycle continues until you dismiss the alarm or reach the maximum number of repeats.
