Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the clock, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.

- Storage: If storing the clock for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or not working:
- Ensure the AC power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- If a battery is installed, check if it is fresh and correctly inserted. The battery backup only maintains settings, not the display.

- Check that the alarm time is correctly set and the 'AL' indicator is visible on the display.
- Time or alarm cannot be set:
- Ensure you are pressing and holding the 'TIME SET' or 'ALARM SET' button while adjusting the hour and minute. Release the button after setting.
- Display is too bright:
- This model does not feature a dimmer function. Consider adjusting the clock's position if the brightness is an issue.
