Safety The voltages produced in the High Voltage circuit can reach peaks of 400V! Take precautions not to electrocute yourself! If you are not sure what this means, please do not use this clock and return it for a full refund. A shock from the clock high voltage circuit is at least a nasty bite.
Time Providers The clocks can use either a battery backed RTC module or a WiFi module. If you install both, the RTC will be used and the WiFi unit will be ignored! WiFi Time Providers By default, the clock is designed to use a WiFi real time provider, which logs into your home WiFi network and periodically retrieves the time from Internet time sources.

When you finish the setting modes, the clock returns to normal time display mode.
