Troubleshooting

  • If in LED mode, check the H/L brightness switch.
• Alarm does not sound:
  • Ensure the AL ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.
  • Verify the alarm time is set correctly.
• Time is incorrect:
  • Re-set the time following the 'Setting Time' instructions.
  • Ensure the LOCK switch is in the LOCK position after setting.
• Temperature reading is inaccurate:
  • Ensure the clock is not placed near heat sources or in direct sunlight, which can affect temperature readings.
