No Dean. The three buttons are situated one at the top and the other two
either side of it slightly lower down. The centre one is the menu button, and
you use the other two to skip backwards and forwards. When you find a feature
you wish to enter, you hold the centre button down until you enter it, then use
the other two to make your selections, then press the centre button again to
confirm and exit. It's brill!!

How does the agenda work if the clock only has 3
buttons, do you record notes with voice clips or something along those lines?
