Powering up
On the rear panel of the clock there is a power socket. Plugging in and turning on the power, the clock will perform a
brief self-test to confirm it’s operational. The digits on the clock will scroll through from 0-9, then the clock will beep
once.

There are two ways to adjust the various settings of the clock:
1. The knob on the rear of the clock. Pressing it in once changes through the menu items, twisting it changes the
values.
2. Using the IR remote control. Pressing the "W" button changes through the menu items, pressing the white
up/down button changes the values.
