Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To clean the clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the display or casing.

When the display becomes dim or the clock functions erratically, it is time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Setup" section. Always replace both AAA batteries simultaneously with new ones.
