4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

To clean the alarm clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the clock in water.

4.2 Battery Replacement

If the second hand stops moving or the alarm clock suddenly ceases to function, it is time to replace the battery. Refer to section 2.1 for battery installation instructions.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues and their solutions.

• Alarm Clock Not Functioning / Inaccurate Time:

  Approximately 90% of operational issues are resolved by using the correct battery. Ensure you are using a new, full-capacity, brand-name AA battery. Low-quality or old batteries may cause erratic behavior or complete malfunction.
• Second Hand Stops or Clock Stops Suddenly:

  This indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Refer to section 2.1 for battery installation.

• Alarm Sounds Immediately After Setting (Analog Alarm Clocks with Snooze):

  The snooze function on analog alarm clocks typically has an active period of approximately one hour. During this hour, it is not technically possible to set the alarm without it potentially triggering. For example, if you set the alarm at 7 PM for 7 AM the next morning, the alarm will not trigger immediately because it is outside the active snooze window. However, if you set the alarm at 9 PM for 7 AM the next morning, it will function correctly as it is outside the one-hour snooze activation window from the current time. This behavior is inherent to analog alarm clocks with a snooze feature and is not a defect.
