Setting the Alarm

To set the alarm time:

1. Locate the Alarm Setting Knob on the back of the clock.
2. Rotate the knob until the alarm hand points to your desired alarm time.
3. Locate the Alarm ON/OFF Switch (usually a small slide switch) on the back or side of the clock. Slide it to the "ON" position to activate the alarm.

Selecting Alarm Sound

The QHP011B offers a choice of alarm sounds: two melodies or a traditional beep. Locate the Alarm Sound Selector Switch (if present, typically on the back) and slide it to your preferred setting.

Snooze Function

When the alarm sounds, press the Snooze Button (usually a large button on top of the clock). The alarm will temporarily stop and sound again after a few minutes (typically 5-10 minutes). To turn off the alarm completely, slide the Alarm ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.

Silent Second Hand

This clock features a silent sweep second hand, ensuring a quiet environment free from ticking sounds, which is ideal for bedrooms.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the clock, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these may damage the finish or internal components.

Battery Replacement

When the clock's display becomes dim, the alarm weakens, or the clock stops functioning, it is time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the "Setup" section. Always replace all three AA batteries at the same time with new ones.

Troubleshooting

• Clock not working: Ensure batteries are inserted correctly with the proper polarity. Replace old batteries with new ones.
• Alarm not sounding: Check if the Alarm ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position. Verify the alarm time is set correctly. Ensure batteries are not depleted.
• Alarm too quiet/loud: Adjust the Volume Control Dial on the back of the clock.
