Sound Activation Function

The Gingko Click Clock Cube features a convenient sound activation function that allows you to view the time, date, and temperature without having to physically interact with the clock. This feature is especially useful at night when you don’t want to disturb others or disrupt your sleep;

To activate the sound activation function, simply press and hold the V/S button until the clock displays “Sd”. This indicates that the sound activation function is turned on. When the function is activated, the clock will automatically light up and display the time, date, and temperature whenever it detects a sound, such as clapping your hands or clicking your fingers. The display will automatically switch off when the room is quiet.

This feature is particularly useful when you want to check the time without having to fumble for your phone in the dark. The sound activation function provides a discreet and convenient way to access the clock’s information.

To turn off the sound activation function, press and hold the V/S button again until the clock no longer displays “Sd”. The sound activation function will be disabled, and the clock will only light up when you physically touch it or when the alarm goes off.

Temperature Display

The Gingko Click Clock Cube not only displays the time and date, but also provides a convenient feature for monitoring the temperature of your surroundings. This feature is particularly helpful for those who are sensitive to temperature changes or want to keep track of the climate in their home or office.

The temperature is displayed in degrees Celsius (°C) by default. However, you can easily switch to displaying the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) by pressing and holding the UP button for 3 seconds. The clock will then display the temperature in Fahrenheit.

To switch back to Celsius, simply press and hold the UP button for another 3 seconds. The clock will revert to displaying the temperature in Celsius.

The temperature display is a useful addition to the Gingko Click Clock Cube, providing you with a quick and easy way to monitor the temperature of your environment.

Other Features

The Gingko Click Clock Cube offers a range of additional features that enhance its functionality and user experience. These features go beyond the basic timekeeping and temperature display functions, making it a versatile and practical device for your home or office.

One notable feature is the sound activation function. This allows the clock to automatically illuminate the display when it detects a sound, such as a clap or a voice. This is particularly convenient at night when you don’t want to turn on a bright light to check the time. Simply clap your hands or make a slight noise near the clock, and the display will automatically light up, revealing the time, date, and temperature.

The clock also incorporates a snooze function for those who need a little extra time in the morning. To activate snooze, simply press the UP button while the alarm is ringing. This will silence the alarm for a set period of time, allowing you to catch a few more minutes of sleep before it sounds again.

The Gingko Click Clock Cube further enhances its user-friendliness with its compact size and stylish wooden design. Its minimalist aesthetic complements various interior styles, while its small footprint allows it to fit seamlessly on any bedside table, desk, or shelf.

Troubleshooting

While the Gingko Click Clock Cube is designed for reliability, you may encounter occasional issues. This section outlines some common problems and their possible solutions to help you troubleshoot your clock effectively.

If the clock is not displaying the correct time, ensure that you have followed the instructions in the Time Setting section of this manual carefully. Double-check that the hour and minute settings are accurate and that the 12/24-hour format is correctly selected. If the clock is still displaying an incorrect time, try resetting it to factory settings by pressing and holding the SET button for 3 seconds.

If the alarm is not functioning, make sure that it is properly activated. Refer to the Alarm Setting section in this manual for detailed instructions on setting the alarm. Also, ensure that the alarm volume is not muted. If the alarm continues to malfunction, try replacing the batteries, as low battery power can sometimes affect alarm functionality.

If the sound activation function is not working, confirm that it is turned on by pressing the V/S button until the clock displays “Sd.” If the function remains inactive, try adjusting the sensitivity setting by pressing and holding the V/S button for 3 seconds. Additionally, check if the surrounding environment is too noisy, which might prevent the clock from detecting sounds effectively.
