Operating Instructions

2. Setting Alarms (Dual Alarm)
The clock supports two independent alarms (Alarm 1 and Alarm 2).

- Use the "+" or "-" buttons to set the desired alarm hour and minute.
- Press "ALARM 1" (or "ALARM 2") again to confirm the time.
- After setting the time, you can usually select the alarm mode (sound, vibrator, or both) and volume. Refer to the specific buttons for these settings, often labeled "MODE" or "VOL".

3. Alarm Modes and Volume
The ROCAM 1018i offers three alarm modes:
- Alarm Sound Only: The clock will emit an audible alarm.
- Bed Shaker Only: The connected bed shaker will vibrate.
- Alarm Sound & Shaker: Both the audible alarm and bed shaker will activate simultaneously.
To select the alarm mode, press the "MODE" button after setting the alarm time. The alarm volume can be adjusted from 92 dB to 110 dB across 7 levels using the "VOL" or "+"/"-" buttons when the alarm is active or in setup mode.
Figure 5: Choose from three alarm modes for personalized wake-up experience. The bed shaker cable is approximately two meters long.
4. Snooze Function
When an alarm sounds, press the large "SNOOZE" button located on the top of the clock. The alarm will pause for 9 minutes and then sound again. You can repeat the snooze function multiple times.
Figure 6: The convenient snooze button provides an additional 9 minutes of sleep.
5. Adjusting Display Brightness
The LED display brightness can be adjusted to 7 levels to suit your preference, day or night. Locate the "DIMMER" or "BRIGHTNESS" button (often represented by a sun icon) and press it repeatedly to cycle through the brightness levels.
Figure 7: The display brightness can be adjusted across 7 levels for optimal visibility in any lighting condition.
6. USB Charging Port
The alarm clock features a 5V 1A USB charging port on the side. You can use this port to charge small electronic devices such as smartphones, smartwatches, or earphones. Connect your device's USB charging cable to this port.
Note: This port is for charging only and does not support data transfer.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To clean the alarm clock, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish and electronic components.
Ensure the clock is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Battery Replacement (Backup Battery)
The alarm clock uses a Lithium-metal button cell battery (included) for backup power. This battery retains time and alarm settings during a power outage. If the clock consistently loses settings after a power interruption, the backup battery may need replacement. Refer to the battery compartment on the back of the unit for replacement instructions. Use only the specified battery type.
