Figure 4.2: Top Control Panel. This image shows the top surface of the alarm clock with clearly labeled buttons: Power/Light, Time Set, SNOOZE / SLEEP, and dedicated buttons for adjusting Hour, Minute, and Alarm 1/Alarm 2 settings.
Figure 4.3: Rear Panel. This image illustrates the back of the alarm clock, featuring the battery compartment cover, a DC 5V power input port, and a USB port for potential charging or power output (functionality not specified in product details).
5. Setup
- Power Connection: Connect the provided power adapter to the DC 5V input port on the back of the alarm clock. Plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet. The display should light up.
- Battery Installation (Optional): While the alarm clock operates primarily via the power adapter, it may have a battery compartment for backup power (batteries are not included). If your model supports this, open the battery compartment on the back and insert the required batteries (e.g., AAA, type not specified) according to the polarity markings. This will maintain time settings during power outages.
