|---|---|---|

| Alarm does not sound. | Alarm is not activated; alarm volume is too low (if applicable); incorrect alarm time set. | Ensure the ALARM ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position and the ALARM indicator is lit. Verify the alarm time is set correctly (AM/PM). |
| Time/Alarm settings are lost after power outage. | Backup battery is dead or not installed. | Install a fresh 9V battery or replace the existing one. |
