3. Insert the required batteries (check the compartment for battery type) ensuring correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover securely.

5.2. Initial Time Setting

1. Locate the time setting knob on the back of the clock.
2. Rotate the knob in either direction to set the current time. Ensure the hour and minute hands are accurately positioned.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Setting the Alarm

1. Locate the alarm setting knob on the back of the clock.
2. Rotate the alarm setting knob to move the alarm hand to your desired alarm time.
3. Locate the alarm ON/OFF switch (usually a small slider or button) on the back or side of the clock.
4. Slide the switch to the "ON" position to activate the alarm.

6.2. Silencing the Alarm

When the alarm sounds, you can silence it by:

• Pressing the snooze/light button (if available, typically on top). This will temporarily silence the alarm, and it will sound again after a few minutes.
• Sliding the alarm ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position. This will deactivate the alarm until it is manually turned "ON" again.

6.3. Smartlite Function

The Smartlite feature operates automatically. The built-in light sensor will detect low ambient light conditions and illuminate the clock dial. During brighter conditions, the illumination will turn off to conserve battery power. No manual adjustment is required for this feature.

7. Maintenance

7.1. Cleaning

Wipe the clock's exterior with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish and internal components.

7.2. Battery Replacement

When the clock's display dims, the alarm weakens, or the clock stops functioning, it is time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps in Section 5.1.

8. Troubleshooting

• Clock not working / Display dim:
  • Check if batteries are inserted correctly with the right polarity.
  • Replace with fresh batteries.
• Alarm not sounding:
  • Ensure the alarm ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Verify the alarm time is set correctly.
  • Replace batteries if they are low.
• Smartlite not illuminating:
  • Ensure the clock is in a sufficiently dark environment for the sensor to activate.
  • Replace batteries if they are low.
• Unusual noise from the clock:
  • While the clock features a non-ticking sweep movement, some subtle mechanical sounds may be audible in very quiet environments. This is generally normal for analog movements.
  • Ensure the clock is on a stable, flat surface to prevent vibrations.
