Battery Back-Up OperationThis clock radio is equipped w ith a memory

holding system tha t can b e pow ered wi th

a 9-volt ba tte ry (not included). The pow er

fai lure protection circuit wil l not operateunless battery is installed.

When no rmal household pow er is inter-

rupted, or AC line cord is unplugged, the

bat tery wil l pow er the clock radio to keep

t r a ck o f t i m e a n d a l a r m s e t t i n g s p r o -

grammed into memory. When the battery

backup fu nctions, the digi tal display w ill

not l ight , how ever, the function of alarm

still occurs during th e pow er interruption

and the radio s t i l l operates i f remaining

bat tery power i s adeq uate . Normal op-

erat ion w ill resume aft er AC pow er is re-

stored so you wil l not have to reset the

time or the alarm.

Instal l bat tery as fo l low s:

1. Remove ba ttery compartment doo r (lo-

cated on t he back of the r adio) by ap-plying thu mb pressure to area ind icat ed

on ba t tery door and then l if t the do or

out and o f f the cabinet .

2. Connect a 9-volt ba ttery connecto r plug.

3. Insert ba t tery in the compartment and

replace the compa rtment doo r.

Power Failure Indicator

When AC power is interrupted (discon-

nected) for a short period of t ime, both

time and alarm sett ings wil l change (un-

less opt iona l bat tery is installed). Aft er AC

pow er is restored (reconnected), the Digi-

tal Display w ill bl ink to indicate t hat pow er

was interrupted and you should readjust

the t ime and a larm sett ings.

Note: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A / IEC 6LR61) battery isrecommended. Carbon Zinc (NEDA 1604 / IEC 6F22) bat-

tery may be used but memory holding time will be substan-

tially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery isapproximately 8 hours (if radio or alarm is not operated), which shouldtake care of short, nuisance-type AC power failures. To preservebattery life, the radio should remain plugged into an AC outlet. Asbatteries get older, their voltage drops and memory may be lost. Besure to replace the battery periodically. Battery should be removedif the radio will be stored for more than one month. Leaky batteriesmay badly damage the clock radio.
