Setup
Power Connection
Connect the provided power adapter to the clock and plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The clock requires adapter power to remain continuously lit. If powered by batteries only, the display light will turn off automatically after 10 seconds to conserve power.

Battery Backup
For battery backup, insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment. The backup battery ensures that time settings are retained during a power outage, but the display will not remain continuously lit without adapter power.

Maintenance
To clean the clock, gently wipe the display and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the surface. Ensure the clock is unplugged before cleaning.

- Alarm not sounding: Verify the alarm is set and activated. Check the alarm volume level.
