Setting sleep timer iPod
Setting the sleep timer on your iPod
You can set a timer for your iPod to turn off automatically. The fifth generation iPods allow you to set multiple clocks. You can set different timezones, different alarm times and you can set whether it should observe daylight savings or not.
How the clock works.
The clock displays as 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.
Setting the iPod clock Features.
To set the period of inactivity before the iPod should turn itself off, select Extras > Clock > Sleep Timer. Then select the time you want.
After setting the sleep timer, a clock icon and the number of minutes left until iPod turns off should now appear near the top of the Now Playing screen.
Setting Multiple Clocks.
Both the iPod nano and Video iPod support multiple clocks. It is a feature called World Clock.
You can add as many clocks to the Clock menu as you like. The clocks will appear in the Clock menu, they will be listed in the order in which you add them.
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) to represent the different time zones in your selected region.
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, this includes setting an Alarm Clock with each clock having it's own alarm, changing Location City, and enable or disable Daylight Savings.
It may not be a feature you ever need, but it can be quite handy.
Setting the Alarm Clock
If you sleep like the dead, but you still don't want to oversleep, each clock can have it's own alarm.
1. Select the desired clock from 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
This allows you to set your iPod to turn off automatically after being on for a specified period of time. Unlike the alarm, you can only have one sleep timer. While it appears in each clock, regardless of where you set it, it will update as a global setting for all.
