2.2 Powering the Device
The alarm clock supports dual power supply options:
- USB Power (Recommended for continuous display): Connect the provided USB power cord (1.5m/59") to the clock and a USB power adapter (not included). The screen will remain continuously lit.
- Battery Power (Backup only): Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. On battery power alone, the screen will automatically enter power save mode after 10 seconds and will only light up when a button is pressed. This mode is primarily for backing up time, date, and alarm settings during power outages.
