***Sunrise/sunset.** These two displays show the previous and next apparent sunrise/sunset times (indicated by `1` or `0` on the seconds tubes – during the day, it shows sunrise then sunset; at night, sunset then sunrise). The times are calculated using the latitude, longitude, UTC offset, and auto DST rule specified in the [options menu](#options-menu), and shown in the same 12h/24h format as the time of day.

I believe this to be a rounding error(s) in the [Dusk2Dawn library](https://github.com/dmkishi/Dusk2Dawn) (compared to the [NOAA Solar Calculator](https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/) it’s based on) and plan to investigate.

***Skip** silences the next alarm in advance – useful if you’re taking a day off, or you wake up before your alarm. In the [options menu](#options-menu), you can program the alarm to skip automatically during the work week or on weekends – and when this is active, you can also _unskip_ the next alarm by simply switching it back on. The [Alt button](#the-alt-button) can be set to toggle the skip setting.
