7. Maintenance

7.1. Cleaning

Wipe the clock with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these may damage the finish or internal components.

7.2. Battery Replacement

When the display becomes dim or the clock stops functioning, replace both AA manganese batteries. Always replace both batteries at the same time with new ones to ensure optimal performance.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Display / Dim Display: Check battery polarity. Replace batteries if they are old or depleted.
• Incorrect Time: Ensure the clock is in an area with good radio signal reception. If manual setting is desired, disable radio reception and set the time manually.
• Poor Radio Reception: Move the clock closer to a window or to a different location. Avoid placing it near electronic devices that may cause interference.
• Environmental Icons Not Changing: Ensure the temperature and humidity sensors are not obstructed. Allow time for the sensors to adjust to new environmental conditions.
