Operating Instructions
- Setting the Time:
Locate the '+' and '-' buttons on the side or back of the clock. Press the '+' button to advance the time in 5-minute increments. Press the '-' button to decrease the time in 5-minute increments. Continue pressing until the correct time is displayed. The clock updates in 5-minute intervals.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface of the clock. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clock does not light up. | No power, loose connection, faulty adapter. | Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the clock and the power adapter. Verify the power adapter is plugged into a working outlet. Try a different USB power adapter. |
| Time is incorrect. | Time not set correctly, power interruption. | Adjust the time using the '+' and '-' buttons. If power was interrupted, ensure backup batteries are installed or reset the time. |
| Display is too bright/dim. | Brightness setting needs adjustment. | Press the brightness adjustment button to cycle through the dimmable light settings. |
| Clock updates only every 5 minutes. | This is normal operation. | The clock is designed to display time in 5-minute intervals, not second-by-second. This is not a malfunction. |
