How do you set the alarm on an analog alarm clock?

Question

There were no directions. I see the third hand but don't i need a fourth hand? Or am I only supposed to set the alarm on the hour.

Answer 1

You can only set it on the hour, but you can also (imprecisely) set it at times between the hours.  For 6:30 for example, you want to set the third hand halfway between the 6 and 7 and so on for other times.  The alarm sounds when the hour hand matches with the third hand.

Answer 2

Just set the 3rd one to where you want to get up. Say you want to get up at 5:30. You would point the 3rd hand at half way between the 5 & 6. I am not eal sure on the am/pm. I think you just need to set it after the 12:00 before when you want to get up. It has been quite awhile since I have used one of those. I thought I was the only one in the dark ages yet!!! I am pretty sure that should work for you if ya can follow the directions or figure them out.

Good Luck!!!
