To make these settings, press the "MODE/SET" button (B1) for 3 seconds. The values are set using the "▲" (B3) or "▼" (B2) button. The selected values are confirmed each time with the "MODE/SET" button (B1). Days of the week can be displayed in 8 different languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Czech).
