A: Hi, Here are the details to set the time: 1. On the top of the clock, press and hold the time set button down and the time will flash. Release the time set button when the time starts to flash. 2. Press HR and MIN to set the time. (You can tap or hold down to change the time faster.) As you cycle through, the hours will change from AM to PM. 3. Press the time set button again to exit the setup (or if no key pressed for about 10 seconds it will automatically exit the setup).
A: It's AC powered and plugs in to work in order to keep the display lit up and the USB charging working too. There are backup batteries that are used to backup the time and alarm settings in the case that the power goes out or the clock is unplugged to move it.
A: There are 3 brightness levels on the display.
A: Hi Sarah. When the alarm sounds the chime starts a slower beep and then increases in speed. The volume does not get louder. Hope that helps, if you have any other questions or need further clarification, we're also available at support@hellocapello.com.
A: No, the clock needs to be plugged in to operate. The backup batteries are used to save the time and alarm settings either when there is a power failure or the clock is unplugged. When power is restored, the time and alarm settings will be restored so that you don’t have to reset them again. This can be helpful for example if you need to unplug the clock to move it or if the power is briefly interrupted during the night, the backup feature will ensure that the time and alarm are correct so that you’re still woken up in the morning.
