• USB Power: Connect the supplied USB cable to the port at the back of the clock and to a USB power adapter (not supplied). The display will be continuously bright.
• Battery Power: Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. Batteries retain time and alarm settings during power outages or when the USB cable is disconnected.
