Setup Guide

Powering the Clock:

The clock can be powered by either a USB cable or 3 AA batteries (not included). For continuous display, it is recommended to use the USB cable. Batteries primarily serve as a backup for time memory during power outages.

1. USB Power: Connect the provided USB cable to the clock's power input port and plug the other end into a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a USB port on a computer. The LED display will light up immediately.
2. Battery Power (Time Memory): Open the battery compartment on the back of the clock. Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-). These batteries are for the time memory function, allowing the clock to retain time settings during a power interruption from the USB cable. The main display will not stay on continuously with only battery power.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

The mirror surface of the clock is designed to resist dust accumulation and is easy to clean. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the display and casing. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray cleaners directly on the clock, as they may damage the surface.

Battery Replacement:

If you notice that the time memory function is no longer working during power interruptions, it may be time to replace the 3 AAA batteries in the battery compartment. Ensure the clock is disconnected from USB power before replacing batteries. Dispose of old batteries responsibly.

Troubleshooting

• Display is blank:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the clock and a working power source.
  • If relying on batteries for time memory, note that the main display does not stay on continuously with only battery power.
• Alarm not sounding:
  • Verify that the alarm time is correctly set and the alarm icon is displayed on the screen.
  • Check if the volume is not set to zero (if applicable, though this model doesn't specify volume control).
• Incorrect time/date:
  • Re-enter the time and date settings following the "Setting Time and Date" instructions.
  • Ensure the 12/24 hour format is set correctly.
• Temperature reading seems off:
  • Ensure the clock is not placed near heat sources or in direct sunlight, which can affect temperature accuracy.
  • Verify the correct temperature unit (Celsius/Fahrenheit) is selected.
