Setup
Power Connection
The device operates via a corded electric power source. Connect the provided power adapter to the clock and plug it into a standard electrical outlet. A CR2032 battery is included for backup purposes to retain time settings during power outages.
Initial Time Setting
Upon first power-up or after a prolonged power loss, the time may need to be set. Refer to the buttons on the device (typically labeled 'Time Set', '+', '-') to adjust the hour and minute. Specific button functions are usually indicated by icons or small labels on the device itself.
Operating Instructions
Alarm Clock Function
The alarm clock features a sunrise simulation that gradually brightens from 1% to 100% over a set duration (e.g., 10-120 minutes) before the alarm sounds. This simulates a natural dawn, promoting a gentle wake-up experience. Multiple alarm settings are available.
- Setting Alarms: Use the 'Alarm' button (often indicated by a bell icon) to select and adjust alarm times.
- Sunrise Duration: Adjust the pre-alarm light duration to your preference.
- Alarm Sounds: Choose from various soothing wake-up sounds, such as birds, ocean, soft music, piano, or a traditional beep.

Sound Machine Operation
The device includes 30 non-looping soothing sounds to aid relaxation and sleep. These include white noise, pink noise, brown noise, fan sounds, streams, rain, ocean, birds, campfires, and lullabies.
- Sound Selection: Cycle through available sounds using dedicated buttons (e.g., 'Sound' or arrow keys).
- Volume Control: Adjust the volume with 16 precise levels using the '+' and '-' buttons.
- Sleep Timer: Set an automatic shut-off timer for 15, 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes. The sounds and lights will gradually fade and turn off at the selected time.
