The previous section explained how to set up the side key as a PTT button. The process for configuring it as an alarm button is
similar:
1. On the WP8x6 menu, select Settings.
2. Go to Basic Settings, and click on Key Customization.
3. Select Side Key, and set function as “Alarm“.
Configuring Side Alarm Key
Once the side key is set as an alarm button, users can quickly press it to access the alarm settings or long press it to trigger an
alarm.
Push-button Alarm
There are some additional settings (under Settings→Advanced Settings→Alarm Settings→While Push Button Alarm) that
can be configured with the push-button alarm and they include:
While Push Button Alarm Settings
Mute: If set to “Enabled”, the alarm triggered by pressing side key will be a silent alarm.
LCD Backlight: Configures the behavior of the LCD backlight during the push-button alarm.
Behavior Override: Chooses whether the push-button alarm can be overridden by other alarm events. (Example in the
