How Do I Set The Alarm on my Baby-G?

How do I set the alarm on a Baby-G watch?

There’s a LOT of Baby-G watches out there, some with just 1 alarm, some with up to 5 separate alarms. So how do we set them? And how do we turn them off afterwards? Well, you’re in luck because this is the topic of this FAQ. So if you’re ready, here we go!

Before we start, I’d like you to look at your watch – specifically at the 4 buttons on the side. Label them A, B, C, and D per the picture below.

If your watch has a button at the bottom, we can call it L (these buttons aren’t on every watch, so most of the time you won’t even have to worry about it).

Got everything labeled? Then the next step is to press the C button four times. That’ll bring you to the alarm mode (you should know that you’re in the right place, because you’ll have the letters AL and a picture of an alarm clock at the top. If you’ve got multiple alarms, then it’ll be AL1

Now that you’re in the right mode, if you have no other alarms set up (and if you do, why are you reading this guide?), you can start setting the time. If AL1 is used up though, press D to go to AL2, then keep tapping it for AL3-5.

Right, so you’ve got the slot ready to go, next it’s time to set the time (if you’ll pardon the pun).

Hold down the A button until you hear a beep. If you look at the screen now, you should see some numbers flashing on the screen. In this case, the default would usually be 0:00 (or 12 AM for those unused to 24hr time). Press C once to switch between hours and minutes. You’ll know which ones you’re going to change, because that set of numbers will start flashing.

Now, say you want to change the alarm to ring at 7:30 am. First you need to press B 7 times (again this is assuming that the alarm is at 0:00). Press C to switch to minutes, and then hold B for a few seconds until you reach 30. If you’ve gone too far, that’s not a problem, simply press D a few times to take away the extra minutes.

Once you’re done, save the alarm by pressing A once.

Now, here’s the last bit for this part. Have a look at the screen, and see if the words ALM are on. If they are, that means your alarm is working. If not, simply press B while you’re still on the screen, and the alarm should switch on.

Now that you’ve done that, press C a few times, until you’re back to the timekeeping screen.

So, now that we’ve done this, the next step is to turn the alarm off (so it doesn’t wake you up every morning at 7:30 am.

Don’t worry though, that part is a lot less complicated. All you need to do, is go back to the alarm mode, and press B to turn the alarm off. That’s it!

Well I hope I’ve made your lives a little easier. Until Next Time – Jimmy B.
