Setup
Power Source and Battery Backup
The PPLEE Alarm Clock is primarily powered by an AC outlet (100-240V). The included power adapter must be connected for all functions (digital display, phone charging, dimmer, etc.) to operate.

For battery backup, install 2 AAA batteries (not included) into the designated compartment. These batteries are solely for memorizing time and alarm settings during a power outage. The display will go blank, but the alarm function will still work. No need to reset time when power is restored.

Maintenance

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Display is blank. | Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the clock and a working electrical outlet. If using battery backup, the display will be blank during a power outage, but the alarm function will still work. |
| Alarm does not sound. | Check if the alarm is activated (Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 indicator should be visible on the display). Verify the alarm volume is not set to the lowest level. Ensure the time is set correctly for AM/PM. |
| Cannot set time/alarm. | Follow the time/alarm setting instructions carefully. Ensure you are pressing the correct buttons ("TIME/DST", "ALARM 1", "ALARM 2") and using the "+" or "-" buttons for adjustment. |
| Charging ports not working. | Confirm the clock is connected to AC power. The charging ports require the main power supply to function. Check the charging cables for damage. |
