5. Setup
5.1. Power Supply
The alarm clock can be powered in two ways:
- USB Cable (Recommended): Connect the included USB cable to the DC 5V port on the back of the clock. Plug the other end into a USB power adapter (5V/500mA-1000mA AC, not included) or a powered USB port. This provides continuous power.
- AAA Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back and insert 3 AAA batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity. Batteries are primarily for backup or portable use, and may drain quickly if the clock is continuously displaying time without power-saving mode.
Note: For optimal performance and to avoid rapid battery depletion, it is recommended to use the USB power cable for daily operation.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
