If using AAA batteries, replace all four batteries simultaneously when the display becomes dim or the clock functions erratically. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.

6. Troubleshooting

• Display is off or dim:
    - Check if the USB cable is securely connected or if AAA batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge.
    - Ensure voice control is not enabled if you expect a continuous display.
    - Adjust brightness settings using the UP button.
• Alarm does not sound:
    - Verify that the alarm is set to 'ON' in the alarm settings (A1, A2, or A3).
    - Check the alarm time to ensure it is correctly set.
• Incorrect time or date:
    - Re-enter the time and date settings as described in Section 4.2.
• Voice control not responding:
    - Ensure voice control is enabled ('ON').
    - Make sure the sound source is close enough and loud enough (above 60dB) to trigger the sensor.
• Clock is unresponsive:
    - Press the RESET button on the back of the clock using a thin, pointed object (e.g., a paperclip). This will restore factory settings.
