What to do if the battery low icon is always flashing on my Timex TM80 - / Digital Audio Player?

What to do if my Timex TM80 - / Digital Audio Player doesn’t respond?
Sometimes, unexpected issues can cause the Timex Clock Radio to freeze. Try turning the power off and then on again to reset it. If that doesn't work, disconnect the unit from all power sources, including removing the backup batteries and unplugging the AC adapter. Wait for about a minute, then reconnect everything. Note that you'll need to reset the time and other settings afterward.
Why is the sound distorted on my Timex Clock Radio?
Sound distortion on your Timex Clock Radio can occur due to several reasons: the volume level might be too high (try decreasing it), the original sound source (like an MP3 or WMA file) may be of poor quality (try a different audio source), or if using an external device, its output volume might be too high (try reducing the device's volume). You may also want to adjust the EQ settings on your TM80 or the sound source.
How to fix Timex TM80 - / Digital Audio Player remote control that doesn’t work?

What to do if my Timex TM80 - / Digital Audio Player doesn't respond or have no power?
If your Timex Clock Radio isn't responding and seems to have no power, first ensure that the power cord is properly plugged into a working wall outlet. To verify the outlet is functional, plug another device into it or test any switches that might control the outlet.
Why won’t my Timex TM80 - / Digital Audio Player play my song files?
The Timex Clock Radio only supports WMA and MP3 file formats. It cannot play other formats like AAC (iTunes), WAV, or AIFF, and may not play some files with DRM (digital rights management) restrictions. Ensure your files are MP3 or WMA and are not DRM-protected.
