Connecting VoltClock to Power

  1. Connect the USB-A end of the supplied cable to a compatible power adapter.
  2. Connect the Type-C end of the cable to the VoltClock.

  4. Connect the adapter to a suitable power outlet.
  5. The product indicates successful power connection by flashing its indicator twice.

Important: The power adapter is not included in the package. A lower-rated adapter may result in slower wireless charging and may not support alarm, wireless charging and USB-A output operating simultaneously.

Wireless Charging

  1. Confirm that the phone or device supports Qi wireless charging.
  2. Connect VoltClock to a suitable power source.
  3. Place the phone centrally on the wireless charging pad.
  4. Adjust its position until the device indicates that charging has started.

Eco-Power and Timekeeping

  • The built-in button cell is for timekeeping only.
  • During a power disconnection, all other functions stop.
  • Functions resume when power is reconnected.

The product therefore requires external power for wireless charging, display operation, alarms, night light and USB-A output.
