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.

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.

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.
