How to use

Place the clock on a stable, flat surface near a power outlet if you intend to use mains power. Connect the AC supply according to the included instructions and set the time using the front or top controls. Insert AAA batteries in the compartment to enable backup operation; the unit will maintain settings and continue to show time if mains power is interrupted. Program the alarm using the alarm set control and adjust volume or snooze if available on the model's control panel.

Recommendations

For reliable daily use, keep the clock connected to mains power and replace backup batteries annually or when low-battery indication appears. Place the display away from direct sunlight to avoid reduced legibility and avoid exposing the unit to excessive moisture or heat.
