Troubleshooting Problem What to do My Rise & Shine does not turn on or play music. ® • Make sure the power cord is fully plugged into an operating electrical outlet. • Make sure the Audio Input Selector is not OFF. See page 11 for further instructions. The Brightness Control does not change the brightness of the LED light panel or auxiliary lamp. • Make sure that the light you wish to control is ON: Go to LIGHT SET on the display menu and check settings. See page 14 for further instructions.
PAGE 35
Troubleshooting — continued The alarm did not go off. • Verify that the correct Wake time was set (Reference page 15). • Verify that the correct setting for weekday or weekend was set (Reference page 15-16). • Verify that the date which was set is correct (Reference page 13). • Verify that the AM or PM settings are correct (Reference page 13 and 15). • Verify that in wake settings that a SOUND and/or LIGHT source has been chosen (Reference page 16-17).

If so, press the Selector Control Dial to unmute. Volume of connected AUX device is too low. • Turn up volume of Rise & Shine® and AUX device. Do so carefully. I set an MP3 for my wake/sleep and the FM radio played instead. • Verify that the sound source was correctly set in the menu. Reference page 17 or 20.
PAGE 37
Troubleshooting — continued I turned the dial brightness/volume/ mode select dial and the Rise & Shine® light and/or audio turned on suddenly. • During the Wake/Sleep cycle, the center dial settings (Brightness/Mode/ Volume) are overridden by the Wake/ Sleep cycle. • If you adjust one of the center dials during the Wake/Sleep cycle, the system will break the cycle and return to the current Brightness and Volume settings. The volume is too loud during the alarm. • Adjust the volume in the Wake settings.
