Setup

1. Battery Installation

Your Eurotime alarm clock requires 1 AA 1.5V alkaline battery (not included). For optimal performance and to avoid common functional errors, ensure a new, full alkaline battery is used. Non-alkaline batteries are not suitable for this model.

1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the back of the clock.
2. Insert one AA 1.5V alkaline battery, ensuring the polarity (+ and -) matches the indicators inside the compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

2. Setting the Time and Alarm

Use the adjustment knobs located on the back of the clock to set the current time and your desired alarm time.

1. Time Setting Knob: Rotate this knob to adjust the hour and minute hands to the current time.
2. Alarm Setting Knob: Rotate this knob to set the alarm hand to your desired wake-up time.

Operating Instructions

1. To activate the alarm, slide the switch to the ON position.
2. To deactivate the alarm, slide the switch to the OFF position.

2. Snooze and Light Function

The button located on the top of the clock serves two functions:

• Light: Press the button to illuminate the clock face with a white backlight for easy viewing in the dark. The light will stay on as long as the button is pressed.
• Snooze: When the alarm is sounding, press this button to temporarily silence the alarm. The alarm will sound again after approximately 5 minutes.

3. Crescendo Alarm

The alarm features a crescendo (ascending) sound, meaning it starts softly and gradually increases in volume to gently wake you up.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean your alarm clock, gently wipe the casing and plastic lens with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

Battery Replacement

If the second hand stops moving or the alarm function becomes unreliable, it is an indication that the battery needs to be replaced. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the Setup section to replace the battery.

Troubleshooting

• Clock not working or alarm not sounding:
  The most common cause for functional errors is an incorrect or depleted battery. Ensure you are using a new, full 1.5V AA alkaline battery.
• Alarm sounds immediately after setting:
  Analog alarm clocks do not distinguish between AM and PM. If you set the alarm within approximately one hour of the current time, it may trigger immediately. To ensure the alarm sounds at the desired time (e.g., 7:00 AM), set it outside this one-hour window (e.g., set it at 9:00 PM for a 7:00 AM alarm).
• Second hand stops or clock runs intermittently:
  This indicates that the battery power is low and the battery needs to be replaced.
