About Intelli-Time®

Your new alarm clock is equipped with Intelli-Time technology which is pre-programmed with the correct time and date. Intellitime instructs the clock to self set itself once batteries are installed. The Intelli-Time feature requires an internal memory battery to operate correctly. This battery is located in the Intelli-Time memory battery compartment on the bottom of the clock and is pre-installed at the factory. We suggest replacement of the backup battery every 5 years. We recommend the replacement of the backup battery in 1-2 years if the unit is not powered on for a long period of time. Do not replace the memory battery unless the clock is plugged in and the display is operating with the correct time.

3 • SETUP

Plug the AC power cord into a 110v AC power outlet.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use this plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or any other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure. WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the alarm clock to rain or moisture.

Basic Clock Setup

After plugging in the clock, the clock will be set to the proper time for the default time zone (EST). Next, you will need to select your time zone for the clock to display your correct time. The time zone selection switch is located on the bottom of the alarm clock.
