Setup
Power Connection:
Connect the alarm clock to a standard electrical outlet using the provided power cord. Ensure the connection is secure.
Battery Backup (Optional):
For battery backup functionality, insert a 9V battery (not included) into the designated compartment. This battery backup retains time and alarm settings during power outages but does not power the alarm clock's primary functions.
Bed Shaker Placement:
Plug the bed shaker unit into the appropriate port on the alarm clock. For optimal vibration, place the bed shaker under your mattress or pillow. This unit is designed to provide a strong physical alert to complement the audible alarm and flashing lights.
The Super Bed Shaker can be placed between your mattress and box spring or directly under your pillow for effective vibration.
Operating Instructions
Setting the Time
Refer to the specific buttons on your device (e.g., 'TIME SET', 'HOUR', 'MINUTE') to adjust the current time. The clock supports both 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
Setting Alarms
The Sonic Bomb features dual alarms (AL1 and AL2) to accommodate different wake-up times or multiple users. Use the 'AL SET' button to enter alarm setting mode. Adjust the desired alarm time using the 'HOUR' and 'MINUTE' buttons. You can set the alarm duration from 1 to 59 minutes.
The dual alarm clock feature allows for setting multiple alarms simultaneously, ideal for couples or different daily schedules.
Alarm Modes (Vibration, Buzz, Combo)
Select your preferred wake-up mode using the dedicated switch: vibration only, buzz (audible alarm) only, or a combination of both. The audible alarm can reach up to 113 dB.
Adjusting Volume and Tone
Use the 'VOL' and 'TONE' knobs or buttons to customize the loudness and frequency of the audible alarm. This allows you to find a sound that is effective yet comfortable for your wake-up experience.
The adjustable tone feature allows you to customize the alarm sound to your preference, ensuring a more pleasant wake-up.
Easily adjust the sound volume using the dedicated knob to customize your wake-up experience.
Snooze Function
Press the 'SNOOZE' button to temporarily pause the alarm. The snooze duration can be adjusted between 1 and 30 minutes, allowing for a brief extension of sleep before the alarm reactivates.
The snooze function allows you to delay the alarm for 1 to 30 minutes as needed.
The snooze button is easy to locate and press, even when you are half-awake.
Flashing Alert Lights
The alarm clock features bright red flashing strobe lights that activate with the alarm, providing a visual cue for waking up, especially beneficial for individuals with hearing impairments.
The alarm clock features super bright red flashing strobe lights, with a 5-level dimmer to control brightness.
Display Dimmer
Adjust the brightness of the large digital display using the five-level dimmer function to suit your preference, ensuring comfortable viewing in any lighting condition.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
Wipe the alarm clock and bed shaker with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the surfaces.
Storage:
If storing the unit for an extended period, disconnect it from the power source and remove the backup battery.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Alarm not sounding/vibrating | Alarm not set correctly; volume too low; bed shaker unplugged; incorrect alarm mode selected. | Verify alarm time and activation; increase volume; ensure bed shaker is securely plugged in; check alarm mode (VIB/BUZZ/OFF). |
| Display is dim or off | Dimmer setting is too low; power outage. | Adjust the 5-level dimmer; check power connection. If power outage, battery backup maintains settings but not display. |
| Static electricity buildup (with bed shaker) | Friction from bed shaker under mattress/pillow. | Ensure proper grounding of the bed shaker. If issues persist, consider alternative placement or using only audible/flashing alarms. |
| Time/settings reset after power outage | No 9V battery installed or battery is depleted. | Install a fresh 9V battery for backup functionality. |
