Maintenance

Troubleshooting

• No Display / Faint Display: Check battery polarity and ensure batteries are fresh. Replace if necessary.
• Incorrect Time / No Radio Signal: Ensure the clock is placed in an area with good radio signal reception, away from electronic interference. Try repositioning the clock. Manual time setting is available if radio signal is consistently poor.
• Alarm Not Sounding: Verify that the alarm is activated (alarm icon visible) and the volume is not set to zero (if applicable).
