Maintenance

1. Cleaning

To clean the clock, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or chemical sprays, as these can damage the plastic case and display.

2. Battery Replacement

When the display becomes dim or the alarm function weakens, it is time to replace the battery. Refer to the 'Battery Installation' section under Setup Instructions for guidance.

Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim:
  Ensure the battery is correctly installed with the proper polarity. Replace the battery if it is old or depleted.
• Alarm does not sound:
  Verify that the alarm is activated (alarm icon visible on display). Check that the alarm time is set correctly. Replace the battery if necessary.
• Incorrect time or date:
  Follow the 'Initial Time and Date Setting' instructions to reset the time and date. If the time drifts significantly, replace the battery.
• Buttons are unresponsive:
  Try pressing the RESET button (usually a small recessed button requiring a pointed object like a pen tip) to restart the clock. If the issue persists, replace the battery.
