How do I set the alarm time?

Press and hold the ALARM button until the time flashes. Use the tuning knobs to adjust hours and minutes. Press ALARM again to confirm.

How do I switch between radio and buzzer alarm?

When setting the alarm, use the MODE button to toggle between radio alarm (RADIO icon) and buzzer alarm (BUZZ icon). Make sure the radio volume is set high enough if using radio.

How to set the radio station?

Turn the TUNING knob to scan AM/FM frequencies. For finer adjustment, use the FINE TUNE dial. Press the STOP button to save presets (refer to manual).

Why doesn't the display show the time?

Check that the AC adapter is connected or the backup batteries are installed. If the display is blank, try pressing the SNOOZE button to wake it up. Replace batteries if needed.

The snooze period is approximately 9 minutes. Press the top SNOOZE bar to activate it when the alarm sounds.

Can I adjust the display brightness?

What type of backup battery does it use?

The device uses 2 x AAA alkaline batteries for backup. They preserve time and alarm settings during a power outage.

Why is the radio reception poor?

Extend the telescopic antenna fully. For FM, rotate the antenna for best reception. For AM, rotate the entire unit. Try moving away from electronic interference.

How do I clean the alarm clock?

Unplug the unit and remove batteries. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, cleaners, or abrasives.
