Please push the power supply button after pushing the home button when you erase the screen after the alarm is set. The alarm sound can be set according to an arbitrary number of seconds for an arbitrary iPod library tune. ( The correspondence music file is only AAC(.m4a) and MP3 of 44.1k and stereo file. AAC file is quick.alarm sound is 60 sec. ) Please do not erase the application with the alarm set. The alarm is not stopped. It is by design that the clock position has moved slightly to prevent screen burn-in. However, please note that this does not completely prevent burn-in.
