Hardware

System → Hardware tests the cover’s vibration motor, so you can check alarms will be felt.

Test vibration card with Left and Right, Quick, Standard, Long, and Custom patterns, a Play button, and a 10-second preview track
System → Hardware with the Quick pattern selected. Synthetic example data.

Test vibration

  1. Choose Left or Right.
  2. Choose a pattern:
    • Quick: a 10-second brief buzz.
    • Standard: 30 seconds, like the default alarm.
    • Long: a 60-second extended ramp.
    • Custom: choose a Duration from 1 to 60 seconds.
  3. Select Play. The cover vibrates on that side. Stop ends it early.

This sends a real command to the Pod. Warn anyone in bed first.

The test always runs at full intensity. Pod 5 covers ignore alarm intensity and pattern anyway; the duration is what you feel. See alarms.
