7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your FiveHome Sleep Training Clock, please refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clock display is off or not responding. | Not connected to power; power outage; faulty cable/adapter. | Ensure the power cable is securely plugged into the clock and the wall outlet. Check if the outlet is working. Try a different USB port or adapter if available. |
| Sleep/Wake light not changing color as expected (e.g., no green light in morning). | Wake alarm not set correctly; clock unplugged and replugged (resetting visual cue). | Verify the Wake Alarm time is set correctly. Ensure the clock remains plugged in. The clock's memory function retains time settings, but the visual cue might need re-synchronization if power is frequently interrupted. |
| Alarm sound is too loud or not desired. | Volume setting is high; incorrect alarm mode selected. | Adjust the volume using the 'Up'/'Down' buttons during alarm setting. Select 'light only' alarm mode if sound is not desired. |
| Clock settings are lost after power interruption. | Rare memory function issue; prolonged power loss. | The clock has a memory function. If settings are lost, re-enter them. Ensure the clock is not unplugged for extended periods. |
| Buttons are unresponsive. | Temporary software glitch; physical damage. | Unplug the clock for 30 seconds and then plug it back in to perform a soft reset. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
