Setup

1. Battery Installation

Locate the battery compartment on the back of the clock. Open the cover and insert two AA manganese batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery cover securely.

2. Initial Time Setting (Radio Wave Reception)

Upon battery installation, the clock will attempt to receive radio waves for automatic time correction. For optimal reception, place the clock near a window, away from electronic devices that may cause interference (e.g., TVs, refrigerators, computers, high-pressure lines, TV towers, train rails). Avoid placing it inside buildings with thick walls, basements, or near metal furniture.

If radio wave reception is successful, the clock will automatically display the correct time. If reception fails, the clock will operate with standard quartz accuracy. You can manually initiate reception by pressing the "受信" (Receive) button on the back.

Operating Instructions

1. Setting Alarms (Alarm 1 and Alarm 2)

The clock features two independent alarms. To set an alarm:

1. Locate the "アラーム1" (Alarm 1) and "アラーム2" (Alarm 2) switches on the back of the clock.
2. Use the corresponding buttons (e.g., "+" and "-" or "アラーム時刻合わせ" (Alarm Time Adjust)) to set the desired alarm time for Alarm 1 or Alarm 2.
3. Slide the "ON/OFF" switch for the respective alarm to the "ON" position to activate it.

2. Snooze Function

When an alarm sounds, press the snooze button (usually located on the top of the clock) to temporarily stop the alarm. The alarm will sound again after a short interval.

3. Calendar Display

The clock automatically displays the current date, day of the week, and year. This feature is fully automatic and requires no manual adjustment once the time is set.

4. Temperature and Humidity Display

The clock continuously monitors and displays the ambient temperature and humidity. These readings are for informational purposes and help you monitor your indoor environment.

Maintenance

1. Battery Replacement

When the display dims or the clock functions become erratic, it is time to replace the batteries. Use two new AA manganese batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time. Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.

2. Cleaning

Wipe the clock with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the casing or display. Avoid exposing the clock to excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

• Clock not displaying correct time / Radio wave reception issues:
  • Ensure the clock is placed near a window and away from potential sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., large electronic appliances, metal structures).
  • Manually initiate radio wave reception using the "受信" (Receive) button on the back.
  • Verify that you are within a radio wave reception area. Note that reception may be difficult in certain environments (e.g., inside concrete buildings, basements, vehicles, or areas with high radio interference).
• Alarm not sounding:
  • Check if the "ON/OFF" switch for the desired alarm (Alarm 1 or Alarm 2) is set to "ON".
  • Ensure the alarm time is correctly set.
  • Replace batteries if they are low.
• Display is dim or blank:
  • Replace the batteries with new AA manganese batteries.
