Long vibrations are the number of hours of the current time on a 12 hour clock, so 6pm and 6am are both 6 vibrations. The shorter vibrations are the number of minutes divided by 5. So 4 vibrations is 20 minutes and 7 vibrations is 35 minutes. Example: (3) long vibrations and (6) short vibrations means it’s 3:30. Just in case you do want to see the time, the screen displays the time with tick marks for hours, minutes and seconds.
Instructions: Press ‘5′ to vibrate the current time. Press ‘0′ to exit program. UP and DOWN to control the speed of vibrations. Time alerts (vibrations) will occur automatically every 15 minutes on the hour.

So, let me get this straight. Hours are single long vibrations, minutes are short vibrations representing a multiple of the actual minutes (total minutes in an hour divided by 5), seconds are shorter burst vibrations representing a multiple of the seconds (total seconds in a minute divided by 4). So 6 long vibrations, followed by 10 short vibrations, followed by 14 short burst vibrations = 6:50:56?
Ok, just kidding about the seconds part. Still seems pretty confusing to me.
