QuadClock Orbix Manual

Welcome to the QuadClock Orbix! This manual will guide you through setting up and using your clock. If something doesn’t work as expected, don’t panic, just read on. The answer is probably right here.

Connecting to Power

The QuadClock Orbix is powered via USB-C. Use a proper USB power adapter and cable (a simple 5V adapter will do). You can connect power either at the back or the side, whichever suits your setup best. Just don’t connect both at the same time.

Once powered, the displays will turn on automatically.

Menu Buttons

The QuadClock Orbix is operated using four small buttons on the base. From left to right, they are:

• Back/Exit menu/Switch night mode
• Move up
• Move down
• Enter menu/Confirm

To navigate:

• Press Enter to open the menu.
• Use Up and Down to select an option.
• Press Enter to confirm your selection. If the option has submenus, they will appear on the next screen.
• For adjustable settings, use Up and Down to change values, then confirm.
• Press Back to return to the previous menu level, or to exit the menu.

When the time is displayed, pressing the leftmost button switches on/off manual night mode: the display will dim to the lowest brightness and the color of the digits will turn to red. All sounds are muted (except for the timed alarms).

Feel free to explore, there's nothing you can break!

Setting the Time

To set the time manually:

• Enter the menu using the navigation buttons.
• Go to Time Settings.
• Adjust the year, month, day, hours and minutes by selecting them and using Up and Down.
• Confirm your selection and exit.

Once set, the clock retains the time even when unplugged.
