Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clock not displaying or dim display. | No AC power, low backup batteries, backlight set to Off. | Ensure AC adapter is securely plugged in. Replace AAA backup batteries. Press LIGHT/SNOOZE button to adjust backlight brightness. |
| Atomic time not synchronizing. | Weak WWVB signal, interference, incorrect time zone. | Place the clock near a window, away from electronic devices that may cause interference. Ensure the correct time zone is selected. Manually initiate signal reception by holding the "ATOMIC" button. If signal is consistently weak, set time manually. |
| Time is incorrect after atomic synchronization. | Incorrect time zone setting. | Verify and correct the time zone setting as described in the "Manual Time Setting" section. |
| Alarm not sounding. | Alarm not activated, volume too low (if applicable). | Ensure the alarm is activated (bell icon visible). Check if there are any volume settings (this model does not have explicit volume control, but it's a general troubleshooting tip). |
