8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clock display is blank. | No power or power adapter issue. | Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the clock and the electrical outlet. Try a different outlet. |
| Time is inaccurate. | Time not set correctly or minor drift. | Re-enter the correct time in the settings. Note that this is not a radio-controlled clock, so minor daily drift (e.g., 1 second per day) may occur and require occasional manual adjustment. |
| Alarm does not sound. | Alarm not activated, volume too low, or incorrect settings. | Check if the alarm is enabled and set to the correct time. Increase the alarm volume in settings. Verify the alarm pattern is correctly configured. |
| Display text disappears after alarm. | Alarm not properly dismissed. | Ensure the alarm is fully dismissed by pressing the designated button. If the alarm is not stopped correctly, the display may revert to a basic state. For elderly users, ensure they understand which button to press to stop the alarm. |
| Cannot see photos on display. | SD card/USB not inserted correctly, unsupported format, or corrupted files. | Ensure the SD card or USB stick is fully inserted. Check that photos are in a supported format (e.g., JPEG). Try reformatting the storage device or using different photos. |
