How accurate are the thermometer and hygrometer?
These are supplementary features and provide general indications of temperature and humidity. For precise scientific measurements, dedicated instruments may be required.

Troubleshooting
Clock not ticking or hands are not moving.
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted with the right polarity. Replace the battery with a fresh one. Check if the hands are obstructed.
Alarm is not sounding.
Verify that the alarm on/off switch is set to 'on'. Ensure the alarm time is correctly set and is in the future. Check the battery.
Thermometer or hygrometer readings seem inaccurate.
Allow the clock several hours to acclimate to the room's environment after setup. Readings can fluctuate based on immediate conditions and placement away from heat sources or direct sunlight.
Clock is not keeping accurate time.
Adjust the time again. If the issue persists, try a new battery. Extreme temperature fluctuations can also affect accuracy.
