Quick Fixes

Many issues can be resolved by these quick methods:

  2. Charge your Author Clock, it takes about five hours for a full charge, press the crown to turn it back on.
  3. For problems with Quick Setup, retry the setup using a different device or a different browser, or in incognito mode.
  4. If the "Captive" setup page is not working, try going to "192.168.4.1" instead of the captive website.
  5. If the Author Clock is charged and still failing to respond, try pressing the Reset button above the USB with a paperclip.
