Solution
Perhaps you set a light intensity level that is too low. Increase the light
intensity level.
Perhaps you switched off the alarm by setting the control lever to the
top position. To switch on the alarm, set the control lever to the middle
position.
Perhaps the appliance is defective. Call 1-866-832-4361 for assistance.
It takes approx. 1 second for the lamp to go on. This is normal, the
lamp needs to heat up.
Perhaps you set a sound level that is too low. To set a higher sound
level, see chapter 'Using the appliance', section 'Radio/volume'.
Perhaps you switched off the alarm by setting the control lever to the
top position.
If you selected the radio as the alarm sound, the radio may be
defective. Switch on the radio after you switch off the alarm to check if
the radio works. If it does not work, call 1-866-832-4361 for assistance.
The radio may be defective. Call 1-866-832-4361 for assistance.
Perhaps the broadcast signal is weak. Move the middle dial up or down
to adjust the frequency and/or change the position of the antenna by
moving it around. Make sure you have unwound the antenna
completely.
Perhaps you switched off the alarm by setting the control lever to the
top position.
Perhaps you set a sound level and/or light intensity level that is too low.
Set a higher sound and/or light intensity level.
Perhaps there was a power failure that lasted more than approximately
15 minutes. In this case the appliance has remembered all settings
except the clock time. The clock time therefore flashes on the display.
Set the correct clock time.
Perhaps you pushed the control lever down with so much force that it
jumped to off position.
Perhaps you set the volume level to 0 (shown on the display as 'OFF').
Perhaps the light intensity level you have set is not appropriate for you.
Try a lower light intensity level if you wake up too early. If light intensity
1 is not low enough, move the appliance further away from the bed.
