- For the initial connection, both your phone and the Dekala product must be on the same 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. After the first connection, you can control the device using the Smart Life app via cellular data, 5G Wi-Fi, or other networks.
Make Alarm Clock Enter into WiFi Connecting Mode

FAQ
- Why can't I turn the alarm clock on? Connect the adapter to activate the alarm clock for the first use.
- Does the alarm clock need to be connected to the adapter all the time to work? The STC-001-S model does not have a built-in battery, so it needs to be connected to a power supply via USB all the time.
- Why didn't the alarms go off? Check the display to confirm there is a wake up alarm icon in the normal mode. Then press the wake up alarm button to check if the set alarm time is correct or the sound is set to S-00.
