The uscce Digital Dual Alarm Clock Radio features a 3.4-inch compact LCD with a 0-100% dial-controlled dimmer, ensuring optimal brightness for any time of day or night. It supports dual alarms with flexible weekday/weekend/all-7-day modes, offering five built-in tones or FM radio as wake-up sounds. Additional features include an FM radio with up to 40 station presets, a sleep timer, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and two front USB charging ports for mobile devices. The clock is AC-powered with a battery backup option to retain settings during power outages.

Setup

1. Power Connection

Connect the provided AC adapter to the DC 5V port on the back of the alarm clock and plug it into a standard wall outlet. The display will light up, indicating the device is powered on.

2. Battery Backup (Optional)

For battery backup, open the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit and insert 3 AAA batteries (not included). This ensures that time and alarm settings are retained during a power outage, and the alarm and radio functions remain operational (USB charging will not work on battery power).
