7. Maintenance

7.1. Cleaning

To clean the alarm clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents as they may damage the finish. Ensure the device is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Display is blank or not lighting up. No power, power adapter not connected, or display brightness set to OFF. Ensure AC adapter is securely plugged into the clock and wall outlet. Press the SNOOZE/DIMMER button repeatedly to adjust brightness.
Alarm does not sound. Alarm is not set, alarm switch is OFF, or volume is too low (if applicable). Verify alarm time is set correctly. Slide the ALARM switch to the ON position.
Time settings are lost after power outage. Backup batteries are dead or not installed. Ensure 2 x AAA batteries are installed correctly and are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
Cannot set time/alarm. Incorrect button combination or sequence. Refer to Section 5.2 for time setting (TIME + SNOOZE for 3 seconds) and Section 6.1 for alarm setting (ALARM switch to SET).
Devices not charging via USB ports. Device not compatible, cable faulty, or clock not powered. Ensure the alarm clock is powered by the AC adapter. Try a different USB cable or device to confirm functionality.
