3. Setup
3.1 Battery Installation

- Slide or unclip the cover to open it.
- Insert one (1) AA battery, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals match the indicators inside the compartment.
- Replace the battery compartment cover securely.
Note: One AA battery is included with the product. Please dispose of used batteries responsibly.
3.2 Initial Time and Calendar Setting
Upon battery installation, the display may show a default time or flash. Refer to the controls on the back or side of the unit for time and date adjustment buttons (e.g., 'SET', 'HOUR', 'MINUTE', 'YEAR', 'MONTH', 'DAY').
- Press the 'SET' button (or similar) to enter time/date setting mode.
- Use 'HOUR' and 'MINUTE' buttons to adjust the time.
- Use 'YEAR', 'MONTH', and 'DAY' buttons to set the current date.
- Confirm settings by pressing 'SET' again or waiting for the display to exit setting mode automatically.
- The calendar display can be set to Month/Day (MT) or Day/Month (TM) format. Consult the specific button for this function, usually labeled 'MT/TM' or similar.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Time Display
The large LCD digits display the current time. The clock supports a 12-hour format with AM/PM indicators. The calendar (month and day) is also displayed.
4.2 Setting Alarms (Alarm 1 & Alarm 2)
The Seiko QHL093K features dual alarms. Each alarm can be set independently.
- Locate the 'ALARM 1' and 'ALARM 2' switches/buttons on the front or side of the clock.
- To set an alarm time, typically there is an 'ALARM SET' button. Press this button and use the 'HOUR' and 'MINUTE' buttons to adjust the desired alarm time.
- Once the alarm time is set, use the corresponding alarm switch (e.g., for Alarm 1, the switch on the left side of the display) to activate it. The switch usually has positions for 'OFF', 'Alarm Sound 1', and 'Alarm Sound 2' (represented by icons like '((()))' and '((()))'). Select your preferred alarm sound.
- Repeat for 'ALARM 2' if a second alarm is desired.
4.3 Snooze Function
When an alarm sounds, press the large snooze button (usually located on the top of the clock). This will temporarily silence the alarm for a few minutes (typically 5-10 minutes) before it sounds again. The snooze function can usually be activated multiple times.
4.4 Stopping the Alarm
To stop an alarm completely, slide the corresponding alarm switch (ALARM 1 or ALARM 2) to the 'OFF' position. The alarm will then be deactivated until it is re-enabled.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To clean the alarm clock, use 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 internal components.
5.2 Battery Replacement
When the display dims or the alarm sound weakens, it is time to replace the battery. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in Section 3.1. Always replace with a fresh AA battery.
6. Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: Check battery installation. Replace with a fresh AA battery.
- Alarm does not sound: Ensure the alarm is activated (switch not in 'OFF' position) and the alarm time is set correctly. Check battery level.
- Incorrect time/date: Re-set the time and date following instructions in Section 3.2.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Try removing and re-inserting the battery to reset the device. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
