Tip: This is a power-output charging port. It does not provide power to
the alarm clock.

is plugged into a power outlet with the included 5V adapter.
• Connect your external device’s USB charging cable (not included) to
the USB charging port.
• Charging times will vary.
• USB Power Output: 1A maximum current.

reception is completed.
1. Place your clock on a stable surface, away from sources of direct
sunlight or excessive heat or moisture.
2. Clean your unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and
water. Stronger agents such as Benzene, thinner or similar materials
can damage the surface of the unit. Make sure the unit is unplugged
before cleaning.
3. If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period, remove the
battery to prevent possible corrosion. Should the battery
compartment become corroded or dirty, clean the compartment
thoroughly and replace the batteries.
