|---|---|---|
| Clock display is off or dim. | No power, dimmer set to 0%, or battery backup active during power outage. | Ensure power adapter is securely plugged in. Adjust the DIMMER slider. If on battery backup, the display is intentionally off; it will return when main power is restored. |
| Alarm does not sound. | Alarm is not set, alarm is turned off, or volume is too low. | Verify alarm time is set correctly. Ensure the alarm icon is visible on the display (alarm is ON). Adjust the VOLUME slider to an audible level. |
| Time/Alarm settings are lost after power outage. | No battery backup installed or batteries are depleted. | Install two fresh AAA batteries for battery backup. |
