XX-XX-XX) and activation PIN # (PIN: XXXX). (This number is also found in the Device Info screen under the Settings menu in your radio.)

B. Using any Internet-connected computer, go to www.arinfiniteradio.com/setup and follow the

3. Optional: Insert three AAA batteries at the back of the radio

Follow the polarity markers in the battery compartment. The batteries power the clock and alarm* whenever the radio loses electricity. We recommend that you replace the batteries every year (or more often in case of multiple power outages) to avoid low battery power. Otherwise, clock and alarm accuracy may be affected when electricity supply is interrupted.

* When the battery backup functions, the clock display will not light. However, the function of alarm still occurs during the power interruption if remaining battery power is adequate.
