Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your Westclox Travel Alarm Clock, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, or strong detergents, as these may damage the clock's finish, display, or internal components.

Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Getting Started" section. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new AAA batteries to ensure optimal performance.

Storage

If the clock will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the batteries to prevent potential leakage and damage to the unit. Store the clock in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
