Introduction

The Gingko Gravity Cube Click Clock is a digital alarm clock designed to display time, date, and temperature.

Operating Instructions

Display Modes

The clock alternately displays the time, date, and temperature. The LED display is sound-activated; it will turn on when it detects a sound (e.g., a clap or a tap on the surface) and automatically turn off after a short period of silence.

Setting the Alarm

1. In normal display mode, press the 'ALARM' button (or similar) to enter alarm setting mode.
2. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to set the desired alarm time.
3. Press 'ALARM' again to confirm and activate the alarm. An alarm icon may appear on the display.

Snooze Function

• When the alarm sounds, gently touch the soft top surface of the cube to activate the snooze function. The alarm will pause and sound again after a set interval.

Turning Off the Alarm

• To completely turn off the alarm for the day, simply turn the clock over onto any of its other sides. This action will deactivate the alarm until the next set alarm time.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the clock's surface with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the rubberized finish and display.
• Battery Replacement (if applicable): If your clock uses a backup battery and you notice settings are lost after a power disconnection, replace the battery with the specified type and size, ensuring correct polarity.
• Storage: If storing the clock for an extended period, disconnect it from power and remove any backup batteries. Store in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

• Display Not Lighting Up:
  • Ensure the clock is properly connected to a power source.
  • Check if the power adapter and outlet are functioning correctly.
  • Make a sound (e.g., clap, tap the surface) to activate the sound-sensitive display.
• Alarm Not Sounding:
  • Verify that the alarm time is correctly set and the alarm function is activated (look for an alarm icon on the display).
  • Ensure the clock is not turned over, which deactivates the alarm.
• Inaccurate Time/Temperature Readings:
  • Reset the time and date manually.
  • For temperature, ensure the clock is not placed near heat sources or in direct sunlight, which can affect sensor accuracy.
  • If issues persist, try disconnecting and reconnecting the power to perform a soft reset.
• Snooze Function Not Working:
  • Ensure you are touching the designated soft top surface of the cube.
  • Check if the alarm is active and sounding before attempting to snooze.
