Device Troubleshooting
The time doesn’t match even though it’s linked with the app
— Is the app’s time setting set to “Manual on device”?
Selecting “Set Automatically” in the time settings will sync the time with your smartphone or a chosen time zone.
— Is The Clock connected to the app or Wi-Fi?
Time synchronization for The Clock is done via Bluetooth through the app or via Wi-Fi.
— Is the time zone setting correct?
If you have specified a particular time zone, it may differ from your current location’s time zone. Time zone settings can only be changed from the app.
The dial does not light up
— Is the device battery sufficiently charged?
Low battery capacity may limit the maximum brightness.
— Is the light sensor covered?
If the light sensor detects darkness, the LED brightness will decrease.
No sound
— Is the volume set to zero?
Relax Time, alarm, and other sounds each have independent volume controls. If no sound plays when it should, turn the crown clockwise.
You can also adjust volumes in each feature’s settings in the app. To adjust on the device:
・Relax Time
Increase the volume while Relax Time is active.
・Alarm
Increase the volume while the alarm sound is playing or during alarm sound preview (press the sun button twice).
・Others (timer, chime, power on/off)

— Is it charging?
It may become hot during charging, but this is not a malfunction as the internal heat is dissipated throughout the entire unit.
