| Alarm does not sound | Verify that the alarm is activated (alarm icon visible on display). Check the alarm volume setting. Ensure the alarm time and mode are set correctly. |
| USB charging ports not working | Ensure the clock is properly powered. Check the charging cable for your device. The charging output is 5V 1A; some devices may require higher power. |
