6. Troubleshooting
- Display is blank: Check power connection. Ensure USB cable is securely plugged in or batteries are correctly inserted and not depleted. If using battery power, ensure power-saving mode is not active, or activate the display by sound/touch.
- Settings are incorrect or erratic: Press the recessed RESET button on the back of the clock using a thin object (e.g., a paperclip) to restore factory settings. You will then need to re-enter all settings.
- Battery drains quickly: This is normal if the display is continuously on. Enable power-saving mode (ON:SD) or use USB power for extended display time.
- Alarm not sounding: Ensure the alarm is set to 'ON' (e.g., 'ON:A1') during the alarm setting process. Check the volume if adjustable (this model does not have explicit volume control, but ensure no obstructions).
