Setup
1. Powering the Unit:
Connect the provided AC adapter to the DC IN port on the back of the alarm clock and plug it into a standard wall outlet. For battery backup, insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. This will maintain time settings during a power outage, though the alarm function may be limited without AC power.
2. Connecting the Bed Shaker:
Plug the bed shaker's cable into the designated shaker port on the back of the alarm clock. Place the bed shaker under your pillow or mattress for optimal vibration. The shaker often has adjustable intensity settings (Low, Medium, High) on its side.
3. Setting the Time:
- Press and hold the 'TIME SET' button (or similar, refer to specific button labels on your unit).
- Use the 'HOUR' and 'MIN' buttons to adjust the current time.
- Press 'TIME SET' again to confirm.
- Some models may have a 12/24H button to switch between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
4. Adjusting Display Brightness (Dimmer):
Locate the 'DIMMER' button (or 'DIM') on the top or back of the unit. Press it repeatedly to cycle through different brightness levels for the LCD display, from low to high, to suit your preference.
Operating
1. Setting the Alarm:
The Clarity 600 typically supports two independent alarms (AL1, AL2).
- Press and hold the 'ALARM 1 SET' button (or 'AL1'). The alarm time will begin to flash.
- Use the 'HOUR' and 'MIN' buttons to set your desired alarm time.
- Press 'ALARM 1 SET' again to confirm the alarm time.
- Repeat for 'ALARM 2 SET' (or 'AL2') if desired.
2. Selecting Alarm Mode:
On the back of the unit, locate the switch or buttons for 'SOUND', 'VIBRATION', or 'BOTH'. Select your preferred wake-up method. The alarm volume can also be adjusted from low to high using dedicated controls.
3. Snooze Function:
When the alarm sounds, press the large 'SNOOZE' button on top of the unit to temporarily silence the alarm. The alarm will sound again after approximately 5-9 minutes (check specific model details). Repeatedly pressing snooze may be possible.
4. Turning Off the Alarm:
To turn off the alarm completely, press the 'ALARM OFF' button (or the corresponding AL1/AL2 button once, depending on the model). Ensure the alarm indicator on the display is no longer active.
5. USB Charging Port:
The alarm clock may include a USB port on the back for charging small electronic devices. Refer to the product specifications for output capabilities.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
Wipe the alarm clock and bed shaker with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the unit dry and away from excessive moisture.
Battery Replacement:
If using battery backup, replace the 3 AAA batteries annually or when the display shows signs of dimming during a power outage. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Alarm does not sound/vibrate. | Check if the alarm is set correctly and activated. Ensure the alarm mode (sound, vibrate, or both) is selected. Verify AC power connection and battery backup. |
| Display is too bright/dim. | Use the 'DIMMER' button to adjust the display brightness to your preferred level. |
| Time/Alarm settings reset. | Ensure AC power is consistently supplied. Check and replace battery backup if necessary. |
| Bed shaker not vibrating. | Verify the bed shaker is securely plugged into the alarm clock. Check the shaker's intensity switch (if available) and ensure the alarm mode is set to 'VIBRATION' or 'BOTH'. |
| Snooze/Alarm Off confusion. | Familiarize yourself with the specific button presses for snooze (single press) versus turning the alarm off completely (often a different button or a longer press). |
