2 Place the battery in the com partment by inserting it in the direction of the arrow 0, while pushing the battery holder in the direction of the arrow Q.

When should the battery be replaced
Unplug the AC power cord from the AC power outlet. After several seconds, plug it back into the outlet, if the digits flash con tinuously, replace the battery with a new one.
Operation
The sure time battery back-up |
is |
designed |
to keep the clock operating in |
the |
event of |
a power failure or interruption. (Such as when moving this unit to a different room.) Whenever a power interruption occurs, the clock display will disappear. However even
though the display is |
completely |
blacked |
out, the 9-volt back-up |
battery |
will take |
over as the power source and the present time and the alarm time will be preserved.
Replace the battery with a new one after one year of use (most batteries have a shelf life of approximatery one year).
If an extended power failure or interruption occurs, replace the battery with a new one.
Even if the power is not resumed by the wake-up time, the buzzer alarm will acti vate.
Notes
When the set is unplugged (not in use) for a long time, remove the back-up battery to prevent possible battery leakage.
Power failures may occur at any time of the night or day and can be of a long or short duration.
Most failures are so short that people don’t even notice the interruption. These inter ruptions do, however, affect clocks which do not incorporate a battery back-up.
If the power is not resumed by the wake-up time, the radio alarm will not activate.
If the back-up battery goes dead during a power interruption, the present time and alarm time must also be reset after the interruption.
The back-up battery wilt be exhausted after about 17 hours of total (accumulative) use. (The battery life will vary depending on the frequency of the power interrup tion.)
After a power interruption, the time shown in the display window may not be always correct (it may gain or lose about six minutes per hour).
