Powering the Clock

The clock can be powered via the included USB cable or by batteries (if installed).

USB Power: Connect the USB cable to the DC5V/0.5A port on the back of the clock and plug the other end into a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or a computer USB port.
Battery Power: Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment on the back of the clock, observing correct polarity. Battery power is primarily for backup or temporary use, as continuous display will drain batteries quickly.
