Question 1

How to display the time on the AKAI AC136KS clock radio when the LED display remains black?

Accepted Answer

Here are the main reasons why the LED display of your AKAI AC136KS does not show the time:

1. The screen has turned off automatically

The manual indicates that the LED digits turn off after 15 seconds in automatic mode. Press any button to temporarily reactivate the display.

2. Sleep mode activated

If you have held down the button 6 for more than 3 seconds, the device enters sleep mode and the LED display turns off completely. Press this button again to disable sleep mode.

3. Brightness set to minimum

The button 4 (SNOOZE/SLEEP) manages a Dimmer function with 3 levels that adjusts the display brightness. If you have set it to the lowest level, the digits may become invisible. Gradually increase the brightness with this button.

4. Backup battery missing or low

A CR-2032 3V battery (not included with the device) serves as backup. If it is missing or depleted, the time will be lost during a power outage and the device may not display the time upon restart. Insert a new CR-2032 battery into the compartment located under the device.

5. Complete reset

If the display remains absent after these checks: unplug the device from the outlet, remove the CR-2032 battery for 3 minutes, then plug it back in and reset the time using the button 13 (CLOCK ADJ) by holding it for 2 seconds.
