TROUBLE SHOOTING
The Snooze button does not work when the alarm is set to wake by Radio
oThe Snooze button only works when set to wake by ‘Bleeper’ alarm, it does
not work with the Radio function.
oWhen set for “wake by Radio” (AUTO), slide the Function switch (9) to
“OFF” to switch the alarm off permanently until set again.
The light has switched on by itself
oThe unit is designed in a way that if there is a mains power failure the light
will automatically switch on when the power is reconnected. To turn it off,
just touch it in the usual way as described in this manual.
oThis could also have been caused by a sudden mains power surge.
oSwitch the lamp off in the normal way.
When I tap the Rim or Touch Pad the light goes on bright, but when I tap it
again it goes off altogether –it does not dim
oTo dim the light you have to touch & hold the Rim/Touch Pad until the
required brightness has been reached.
There is no sound coming out of the unit
oMake sure there are no headphones connected to the headphone socket,
remove these to allow the internal speaker to function again.
oCheck the Volume has been turned up enough (settings: from 1 –10).
There is No FM Reception/poor FM reception/Poor MW Reception
oCheck if the FM antenna wire is uncoiled and fully extended and try re-
positioning the wire.
oMW reception is best achieved when the light is at the brightest
setting or switched off.
The Alarm failed to go off at the set time
oCheck there has not been a power cut –if no back-up battery is installed, or
the battery is discharged, the clock would have stopped working until the
mains power was restored.
oEnsure a clock back-up battery has been installed and the battery is not
discharged. Replace the battery (1 x 1.5V/‘AAA’ Alkaline).
