Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Q: How do I set my favorite radio station as wake up alarm? | A: You cannot manually set a specific radio station as the wake-up alarm sound.

| Q: Clock display does not light up? | A: Please check if the clock radio is plugged into a working outlet. Also, slide the dimmer wheel on the back of the unit to ensure it is not set to 0% brightness. |
