Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your clock, insert fresh batteries according to the polarity markings in the battery compartment. Upon power-up, the clock will attempt to search for the radio signal; for best results, place it near a window or an external wall during the initial setup phase. Avoid placing the device near large metal objects or electrical appliances that may cause signal interference. To clean the unit, use a soft, dry cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals or water, which could damage the LCD screen or internal circuitry.
