Product Information
Full details
The Hometime Oval Alarm Clock is ideal for individuals seeking a straightforward, reliable timepiece for their bedside table that avoids digital complexity. Its primary benefit is the combination of a silent sweep movement with a classic, easy-to-read display that functions perfectly in both bright and low-light conditions. One notable caveat is that it is battery-operated, meaning you will need to periodically check the power status to ensure the alarm function remains active.

What type of batteries does it use?
Please refer to the battery compartment on the back of the unit, which specifies the standard battery size required for operation.
Is the alarm sound adjustable?

Troubleshooting
The clock is not ticking or keeping time.
Check that the batteries are installed correctly and have enough charge; replace with fresh batteries if necessary.

Ensure the alarm switch on the back of the clock is in the 'On' position and that the alarm hand was set to the correct cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your clock is straightforward. To begin, insert the required batteries into the compartment located at the rear of the unit. Set the current time using the time-adjustment dial, then use the alarm-adjustment dial to set your wake-up time.
For ongoing care, keep the clock away from extreme moisture or direct heat sources to preserve the internal mechanism. If the clock begins to lose time or the alarm becomes weak, replace the batteries with fresh ones to restore full performance. Wipe the outer case occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
