This document describes the HT150 Staff Quick Start Guide, a device designed for clock and alarm functions, with specific features for hotel environments.

Function Description:

The HT150 is a clock and alarm unit with both automatic and manual Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustments. It displays time in either 12-hour or 24-hour format and includes an AM/PM indicator for 12-hour mode. The device features an alarm function with a snooze option and adjustable display brightness. It also incorporates a battery backup system to maintain clock settings and alarm operation during power outages.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Power Source: The unit operates via an AC adaptor, which should be plugged into a working wall socket.
• Backup Power: It uses two AA backup batteries to provide continuous alarm operation and retain clock settings during power failures. A "Battery Low" icon on the display indicates when batteries need replacement.
• FCC Compliance: The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, indicating it has been tested and found to comply with Class B digital device limits, designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
• Canadian ICES-003 Compliance: This Class B digital apparatus also complies with Canadian ICES-003 standards.

• Battery Replacement: When the "Battery Low" icon flashes, replace the two AA backup batteries. The rear cover must be removed (via thumbscrew) to access the battery compartment. Ensure the AC adaptor is connected during replacement to prevent loss of settings. Observe correct polarity (+ and -).
• Troubleshooting: The manual provides solutions for common issues such as the unit not turning on (check AC adaptor), not responding (reset procedure), alarm not working (check AM/PM and alarm settings), and erratic performance (move away from external interference).
