Q&As
•Q: Why does my clock stay lit permanently?
A: It is because Sound Activated Display is
off ('-- Sd'). Please briefly press 'RETURN'
to switch on this function ('onSd').
•Q: I have switched on Sound Activated
Display, why doesn't the display come on
when I make a sound in the room?
A: The clock is sensitive to the sound near
it, try to knock the clock or the table.
Normal background noise away from the
clock does not trigger on the display,
unless it is loud enough.
•Q: Can I connect the clock into any USB
socket?
A: The clock has an input voltage of 5V.
Most USB sockets (on a device or a USB
plug) provide the same output voltage.
Please check its label.
•Q: Why is the charging time shorter/longer
than 6 hours?
A: The charging time may vary depending
on the output current of the USB socket.

14
•Q: Why does the battery of my clock go flat
after only a few days?
A: The battery life is shortened when the
display is set to stay on permanently.
Please go for one of the following options:
1. Switch on Sound Activated Display.
2. Keep the clock plugged in.
•Q: I have switched on Sound Activated
Display, why is the battery life shorter than
I expected?
A: The battery life also depends on the way
the clock is used, such as the use of the
alarm, the display brightness level, and
how often the display is triggered on.
•Q: Why does my clock keep flashing?
A: When the battery level is low, the display
flashes as a reminder of charging the clock.
•Q: Can I take the clock with me to travel?
A: Yes. Please turn 'MAIN SWITCH' to 'off'
before you put it in your luggage. When
taking a flight, please check the airline
policy for carrying devices with built-in
lithium batteries.

15
•Q: What happens when I set more than one
alarm?
A: When more than one alarm is activated,
each alarm is independent if the gap
between them is more than 25 minutes. If
the gap between them is less than 25
minutes, when the later alarm starts, it
overrides the earlier alarm, unless the
earlier alarm has been switched off already.
•Q: Why do I have to touch the clock a few
times to snooze it?
A: The clock is snoozed by touching the top
center of it. If you only use a fingertip to
touch it, it is likely that you will miss the
snooze area. Try to cover a bigger area
when you snooze the alarm.
•Q: Why does the temperature on the clock
differ from my thermometer reading?
A: The accuracy of the clock's thermometer
is ±1℃, and it reflects the ambient
temperature around the clock.
