Setup

1. Inserting the Battery

1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the back of the alarm clock.
2. Insert one AA battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -).

If the clock does not set itself automatically after an extended period (e.g., overnight), or if you are in an area with poor radio signal reception, you can set the time manually:

2. Press and hold this button to advance the minute hand. Release the button when the correct time is displayed.

Maintenance

1. Battery Replacement

When the clock's display dims or the alarm function weakens, it is time to replace the battery. Follow the steps in the "Inserting the Battery" section under Setup.

2. Cleaning

Wipe the clock with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the casing and dial.

Troubleshooting

• Clock not setting time automatically: Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient power. Place the clock near a window and away from electronic devices that might cause interference. Allow several hours for the clock to receive the radio signal. If it still fails, set the time manually.
• Alarm not sounding: Check if the alarm ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position. Verify that the alarm time is correctly set. Ensure the battery has enough power.
• Backlight not working: Check the battery level. Replace the battery if necessary.
• No ticking sound: This is normal. The Atrium A610-19 features a silent quartz movement with a sweeping second hand, designed to operate without an audible ticking sound.
