Setup

1. Powering the Clock

The clock operates primarily via the included AC adapter. For continuous display and full functionality, connect the USB charging cable to the AC adapter and plug it into a standard wall outlet. Then, connect the small round plug into the DC5V port on the back of the clock.

For backup power during outages, install 4 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment on the back. Note that running solely on batteries may activate power-saving mode, where the display turns off after 10 seconds to conserve power.

2. Initial Settings (Time, Date, Year)

1. Press and hold the SET button (or ALARM/ENTER depending on model) on the back of the clock for approximately 3 seconds to enter setting mode.
2. The display will flash. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the value.
3. Press SET again to confirm the setting and move to the next parameter.
4. The typical setting sequence is: Year → Month → Day → 12/24 Hour Format → Hour → Minute.
5. After setting the minute, press SET one more time to exit the time/date setting mode.

3. Temperature Unit Selection

To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) temperature display, simply short press the UP button once when the clock is in normal display mode.

Operating Instructions

1. Display Modes

The clock can cycle through different display modes automatically or show a single mode. By default, it often alternates between time/humidity/temperature and year/date.

2. Setting Alarms

The clock supports up to three independent alarms (A1, A2, A3).

1. In normal display mode, short press the SET button repeatedly until you see "A1" (or A2, A3) displayed.
2. Press and hold SET for 3 seconds to enter alarm setting mode for the selected alarm.
3. Use UP and DOWN buttons to set the alarm hour, then press SET.
4. Use UP and DOWN buttons to set the alarm minute, then press SET.
5. You can then choose alarm frequency (e.g., everyday, weekdays only). Use UP/DOWN and confirm with SET.
6. To activate or deactivate an alarm, short press SET until the alarm (A1, A2, or A3) is displayed, then press UP or DOWN to toggle it ON or OFF. An alarm icon will appear on the display when active.

When an alarm sounds, press any button to snooze or turn it off. If no button is pressed, the alarm will sound for 1 minute and then automatically turn off.

3. Adjustable Brightness

The clock offers 7 levels of display brightness. You can manually adjust the brightness to your preference.

To adjust brightness, short press the DOWN button repeatedly in normal display mode. The display will cycle through the 7 brightness levels (L1 to L7, or similar labeling). Select the desired level.

Some models may also feature an automatic dimming function during specific hours. Refer to the included user manual for details on activating this feature if available.

4. Sound Control Function

The sound control function allows the display to turn off after 10 seconds of inactivity and reactivate when a sound louder than 60dB is detected (e.g., a clap, tap on the clock, or loud voice).

To activate or deactivate sound control, locate the "ON/OFF" switch or button on the back of the clock, often near the battery compartment. Toggle it to the desired setting.

The two USB output ports (5V, 1A) on the back of the clock can be used to charge compatible smartphones and other small electronic devices. Ensure the clock is powered via the AC adapter for these ports to function.
