This document describes an Analog Quartz Alarm Clock from Equity, models 20090 and 20091. It provides comprehensive instructions for its operation, including power-up, setting time and alarm, and using the snooze and light functions. Additionally, it outlines important care and maintenance tips to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of the device. The manual also includes detailed warranty and support information, covering the terms of the limited warranty and how to obtain assistance if the product is not working correctly.
The Equity Analog Quartz Alarm Clock is designed to provide accurate timekeeping and a reliable alarm function. It features an analog display with an hour, minute, and second hand, making it easy to read the time at a glance. The clock is powered by a single AA battery, ensuring portability and independence from electrical outlets.
Its primary function is to serve as a personal timekeeping device and an alarm clock. Users can set the current time using a dedicated knob and also set an alarm time, which will sound to alert them at the desired moment. The alarm can be activated or deactivated with a simple switch.
A key feature of this alarm clock is its snooze function. When the alarm sounds, pressing the chrome button on top of the clock will temporarily silence the alarm, allowing for an additional five minutes of rest before it sounds again. This is a convenient feature for those who prefer a gradual wake-up.
In addition to the snooze, the chrome button on top also serves as a light activator. Pressing this button illuminates the clock face, making it easy to read the time in low-light conditions or complete darkness without needing to turn on a room light. This is particularly useful during the night or early morning hours.
The clock is designed for placement on a nightstand, desk, or countertop, making it a versatile addition to various personal spaces. Its simple and intuitive controls ensure ease of use for all individuals.
To begin using the Equity Analog Quartz Alarm Clock, the first step is to power it up. This involves inserting one fresh AA battery into the battery compartment, ensuring that the battery's polarity markings align correctly with those indicated inside the compartment. This step is crucial for the clock to function.
Once the battery is installed, the next step is to set the current time. This is achieved by turning the Time Set Knob, located on the back of the clock, counter-clockwise. Users should rotate this knob until the clock hands display the accurate current time.
Setting the alarm is equally straightforward. The Alarm Set Knob, also located on the back of the clock, is used for this purpose. Users turn this knob to move the alarm hand to the desired wake-up time. After setting the alarm time, the alarm needs to be activated. This is done by moving the Alarm ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. When the alarm sounds, it will continue until manually turned off or until the snooze function is activated. To deactivate the alarm completely, the Alarm ON/OFF switch should be moved to the "OFF" position.
The snooze and light functions are integrated into a single chrome button located on the top of the clock. When the alarm is sounding, pressing this button will engage the five-minute snooze feature, temporarily pausing the alarm. To illuminate the clock face at any time, simply press the same chrome button. This provides a momentary light to check the time in the dark.
The clock's design allows for flexible placement. It can be positioned on a nightstand for easy access during the night, on a desk in an office or study, or on a countertop in a kitchen or other common area. Its compact size and battery operation make it highly portable and adaptable to different environments.
Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the long-term performance and reliability of the Equity Analog Quartz Alarm Clock. Following a few simple guidelines can significantly extend the life of the device and its battery.
One of the most important maintenance tips concerns battery usage. Users should always purchase the correct size and grade of battery that is most suitable for the intended use. For this clock, an AA (IEC LR6) battery is required, and alkaline batteries are recommended for optimal performance and longer life.
Before installing a new battery, it is advisable to clean the battery contacts. This includes both the contacts within the clock's battery compartment and the contacts on the battery itself. Cleaning these contacts helps ensure a good electrical connection, which is vital for the clock to receive consistent power.
When installing the battery, always ensure that it is inserted with the correct polarity. The clock's battery compartment will have markings indicating the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Incorrect battery installation can prevent the clock from functioning and may even damage the device.
If the clock is not going to be used for an extended period, it is strongly recommended to remove the battery from the equipment. Batteries, especially older ones, can leak over time, and the chemicals released can cause significant damage to the clock's internal components. Removing the battery prevents this potential damage.
Finally, it is crucial to promptly remove any expired battery from the clock. An expired battery may also be prone to leakage, similar to batteries left in unused equipment. Replacing expired batteries with fresh ones ensures continuous and accurate operation of the clock.
