The alarm clock can be powered via a DC 5V USB connection or by batteries for backup. For continuous operation, it is recommended to use the USB power cable.

1. Connect USB Power: Insert the small end of the provided USB cable into the DC 5V port on the back of the alarm clock. Connect the larger end to a USB power adapter (not included) or a powered USB port.
2. Install Batteries (Optional Backup): Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the clock. Insert the appropriate batteries (e.g., AAA, type not specified, refer to compartment markings) ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the cover securely. Batteries provide backup power in case of a power outage, preserving time settings.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your alarm clock:

• Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the finish.
• Ensure no liquid enters the device through openings.

5.2 Battery Replacement

If using batteries for backup, replace them when the display becomes dim or if the clock loses time during power outages. Refer to section 3.1 for battery installation instructions.

6. Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim:
  - Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected to both the clock and a working power source.
  - If using batteries, check if they are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace if necessary.
• Clock loses time:
  - If powered by USB, ensure a stable power supply.
  - If relying on battery backup, replace the batteries.
• Alarm does not sound:
  - Verify that the alarm is set and activated (check for the alarm indicator on the display). Refer to section 4.1 and 4.2.
  - Ensure the volume is not set to zero (if applicable, though this model typically has a fixed alarm sound).
• Buttons are unresponsive:
  - Try pressing the RST button on the back with a thin object (like a paperclip) to perform a soft reset. This may clear temporary issues without losing settings if backup batteries are present.
  - Disconnect and reconnect the power supply.
