- Install Backup Batteries (Optional but Recommended): Open the battery compartment on the back of the clock. Insert 3 new AAA batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-). These batteries will preserve your time and alarm settings in case of a power outage. Note: The clock display will not remain continuously lit when operating solely on battery power. The display will turn off after 10 seconds to conserve energy; press any button to temporarily illuminate it. For continuous display, USB power is required.
