How To Set Alarm Time, Scene, and Mode on Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo

Note: You can only have one alarm set at a time, but you can choose which days the alarm time is set for.

General Information:

Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo has four wake-up modes: Firm Mode, Moderate Mode, Gentle Mode and Button Mode.

Firm Mode:

This mode vigorously uses sound to wake you up and is recommended if it’s your first time using Alarmo.

The alarm will ring at the time you set and a character based on the selected scene will come to wake you up. The character will leave and the sound will get quieter as you move, but the sound won't stop completely until you get out of bed. If you stay still after starting to move, the character will return to wake you up, and the sound will become louder again.

If you have not left the bed within 20 minutes after the initial alarm time, the alarm transitions into a "hurry-up" state and will attempt to get you out of bed even more firmly.

Moderate Mode:

Note: A system update to v2.0.0 or later is required to access and use Moderate Mode.

This mode wakes you up with a softer sound but will increase to a more vigorous sound if you don’t get up after a while. This mode is good for people who are relatively quick to wake up.

The alarm will ring at the time you set and a character based on the selected scene will come to wake you up. The character will leave as you move, and you will no longer hear the alarm sound at all. If you stay still after starting to move, the character will return to wake you up.

If you have not left the bed within 20 minutes after the initial alarm time, the alarm transitions into a "hurry-up" state and will attempt to get you out of bed more firmly.

Gentle Mode:

This mode gently wakes you up with a softer sound. This mode is good for people who can wake up easily.

The alarm will ring at the time you set and a character based on the selected scene will come to wake you up. The character will leave as you move, and you will no longer hear the alarm sound at all. If you stay still after starting to move, the character will return to wake you up.

There is no "hurry-up" state for this mode.
