Frequently Asked Questions

My click clock has started flashing and beeping; keeps resetting itself and digits are missing. Is there something wrong with my clock?

This is not a fault. We designed all our click clocks to flash and beep to indicate low power as there wasn't an option to put a low battery sign in. As long as you replace the batteries, this problem will be solved. Meanwhile, we usually advise our customers to replace the batteries as soon as possible when they notice that display of the cube click clock is faint.

My rechargeable click clock won't turn on. How do I get it to turn on? 

Most of our click clocks that are rechargeable come fully charged but sometimes due to transportation the clock gets turned on by accident and drains the battery. If this is the case please plug the adapter and lead into the clock and recharge it. You will need to press and hold the power button after it is fully recharged. If it still doesn't turn on please press and hold the power button for longer or until you see LEDs light up on the front face.

The click clocks can be set in sound activated display or permanent display, what does that mean?

Sound activated display means you can set the clock display to go off when it’s quiet. The clock will look like a block of wood, but will light up again when it registers a short sharp sound, like clicking your fingers, tapping on your beside table or clapping your hands. However, some people like the clock display to stay on all the time without going off, which can also be done.

Can I use batteries and a plug/USB adaptor to power my cube click clock at the same time?

We don’t advise this, as this could gradually damage the clock.

I have one of your cube click clocks, and it’s being powered by batteries. How long will the batteries last if in sound activated display? And what about in permanent display?

It depends on what batteries you use. If you use good quality batteries, it usually lasts up to 6 months if in sound activated display when it has been used as your daily alarm clock, and up to 7 days if in permanent display. However, we don’t advise you to set the clock in permanent display when the clock is powered by batteries.

Why does the cube click clock come with a USB adapter? What is that for? Can I use it to charge my cube clock?

Unfortunately, you can’t use the USB adapter to charge the clock and the cube click clock is not rechargeable. The USB adapter is used for connecting to the other end of a plug with USB connection. So when you want to plug the clock by mains rather than use batteries, you can us this USB adapter. However, please make sure the output of  your USB plug is no more than 5V otherwise it may damage the clock.

Why isn't my Cube click clock or Gravity Cube click clock rechargeable?

Yes, the size is different. The Cube range only come with a USB lead but our Gravity ranges and other clocks come with a mains plug/adapter and a USB lead.

I bought one of your Music Click Clocks, and I love it ! However, when I tried to play music via the AUX connection, it seems the sound quality is not as good as when it’s playing via Bluetooth. Why is that?

In that case, please make sure that you have turned on the Bluetooth as well. Becausethe Bluetooth button “MODE” is not just for turning on the Bluetooth device of the clock, it's also used for turning on the 2 subwoofers in the clock.
