Troubleshooting
main unit issues
The time is incorrect even though it is paired with the App
— Is the App Time setting set to “Manually set on the main unit”?
If you Select “Set automatically” under “Time setting,” you can match the time to your smartphone’s time or to the time in a selected Time zone.
— Is The Clock connected to the App or Wi-Fi?
The Clock’s time adjustment is done via the App over a Bluetooth Connection, or via Wi-Fi.
— Is the Time zone setting correct?
If you have specified a Time zone manually, it may differ from your current location’s Time zone. You can set the Time zone only from the App.
The clock face does not light up
— Is the main unit’s battery level sufficient?
If the battery level is low, the maximum brightness may be limited.
— Is anything blocking the ambient light sensor?
If the ambient light sensor detects that it is dark, the LED brightness will decrease.
No sound
— Is the volume set to zero?
Relax Time, Alarm, and other functions each have independent Volume settings. If there is no sound when there should be, turn the Crown clockwise. You can also adjust each Volume from the settings screen for each function in the App. If you are setting it on the main unit, follow the steps below.
・Relax Time
While the Relax Time function is active, increase the Volume.
・Alarm
While the Alarm sound is on, or while in Alarm Sound preview (press the Sun button twice), increase the volume.
・Other (Timer, Hourly signal, power on/off)
While the Timer/Hourly signal function is active, increase the Volume.
Buttons do not respond
— Is there any dust or debris stuck in the gap around the buttons?
Remove any dust or debris and try operating it again.
Not Charging. The Charging LED does not light up.
— Are you using the recommended USB cable and power supply?
To charge The Clock, you need a USB cable with USB-C (USB Type-C) on both ends and a power adapter or mobile battery that can output 15W (5V3A) or higher from a single port. If charging is possible, inserting the cable makes The Clock beep, the Charging LED will turn on or will be pulsing, and it starts charging.
The main unit is hot
— Are you using it in direct sunlight or in a high-temperature environment?
The main unit is made of aluminum and may become hot in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
— Is it charging?
It may become hot while charging, but this is not a malfunction because it is designed to dissipate internal heat through the entire main unit.
Unable to operate
— Has an error occurred?
If an error occurs in the main unit, all Minute LEDs will pulse, and an error number corresponding to the issue will turn On. Do not resume operation. Record the displayed error number and contact BALMUDA Support Center.
The Hourly signal does not sound
— The Hourly signal will not sound when:
- The Hourly signal is turned off in the App
- “Other volume” is set to zero
- You are configuring alarm settings
- The Relax Time is on
- The Timer is on
- The room is dark
The power may turn off during use
Because there is a high likelihood of a malfunction, please request a repair at BALMUDA Support Center.
The Alarm does not sound at the set time
— Is the volume too low?
In the clock display, press the Sun button twice to preview the Alarm sound. While the sound is playing, turn the Crown to adjust the volume; to confirm, press the Crown once. To change it in the App, adjust the Alarm Volume from the volume setting at the bottom of the main screen.
— Is the time zone correct?
If you set the Alarm in the App, the time will be set according to the Time zone.
— Are AM and PM correct?
