Setup

Powering Your Clock

The Westclox Digital Alarm Clock operates primarily via AC power. Connect the provided power adapter to the clock's power input port and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The display will illuminate, indicating power is supplied.

Battery Backup Installation

For backup power during outages, install 2 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment located on the bottom of the clock. Ensure correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment. The battery backup maintains time and alarm settings but does not power the display.

Initial Time Setting

Upon first power-up or after a prolonged power loss without battery backup, the display may show a default time. Refer to the 'Setting the Time' section under Operating Instructions to set the current time.

Operating Instructions

Setting the Time

1. Press and hold the TIME SET button (usually located on the back or top of the clock) until the hour digits begin to flash.
2. Press the HOUR button repeatedly to adjust the hour. Pay attention to the PM indicator if using a 12-hour format.
3. Press the MINUTE button repeatedly to adjust the minute.
4. Press the TIME SET button again to confirm the time and exit time setting mode.

Setting Alarms (AL.1 and AL.2)

This clock features two independent alarms, AL.1 and AL.2.

1. Press and hold the AL.1 SET or AL.2 SET button until the alarm hour digits begin to flash.
2. Press the HOUR button to adjust the alarm hour. Observe the PM indicator.
3. Press the MINUTE button to adjust the alarm minute.
4. Press the respective AL.1 SET or AL.2 SET button again to confirm the alarm time.
5. To activate or deactivate an alarm, locate the AL.1 ON/OFF or AL.2 ON/OFF switch/button. Slide the switch to 'ON' or press the button to toggle the alarm. An indicator light (e.g., AL.1 or AL.2) will appear on the display when the alarm is active.

Display Dimmer

The SNOOZE/DIMMER button also controls the brightness of the LED display. Press this button (without an active alarm) to cycle through different brightness levels (e.g., High, Medium, Low, Off). Select the desired brightness for your environment.

Tilt and Swivel Feature

The clock is designed with a unique base that allows the display to be tilted vertically and swiveled horizontally. Gently adjust the clock face to your preferred viewing angle for optimal readability from any position in the room.
