FAQs
What type of battery does this alarm clock use?
The Ravel Petite Bedside Quartz Alarm Clock requires one AA battery, which is not included with the purchase.
How do I set the alarm?
On the back of the clock, you will find a separate dial for setting the alarm time. Turn this dial to the desired alarm hour and minute. Ensure the alarm activation switch is in the 'on' position for it to function.
Will the luminous hands work all night?
The luminous hands glow for several hours after being exposed to light. The duration and intensity of the glow depend on the amount of light the clock has absorbed. For optimal visibility, ensure the clock is placed in a lit room during the day.
Can I turn off the alarm sound completely?
Yes, there is typically an 'off' switch or button, usually on the back or top of the clock, to disable the alarm after it has sounded or to prevent it from sounding.
What are the dimensions of the clock?
The product description indicates it is a 'compact' and 'petite' clock, designed to fit easily on a bedside table. Specific dimensions are not provided but expect it to be relatively small.
Does this clock have a snooze function?
The product details mention a reliable 'beep alarm' but do not specify a snooze function. It is likely a standard alarm without snooze.
What colors are available?
This specific model is the White version. The Ravel Petite Bedside Quartz Alarm Clock is also available in Black and Pink.
Troubleshooting
Clock is not running or showing time
Ensure a fresh AA battery is inserted correctly, checking the polarity. If the issue persists, try a different battery.
Alarm is not sounding
Verify that the alarm setting dial is correctly positioned for the desired alarm time. Ensure the alarm activation switch or button is in the 'on' position.
Luminous hands are not glowing
The luminous hands need to be 'charged' by exposure to light. Place the clock in a well-lit area during the day, and the glow should be visible in darkness. If the glow is very faint, the battery may be low, or the luminous material may be aged.
Timekeeping is inaccurate
Replace the battery, as a low battery can affect accuracy. Ensure the clock is placed on a stable, level surface away from strong magnetic fields or vibrations.
