Maintenance

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning, is the responsibility of the user. To achieve the best result, follow the instruc tions to the right. Contact your Bang & Olufsen retailer to determine recommendations for regular maintenance.
Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sun shine, fire or the like.

Changing the batteries

If the batteries are low, Display 1 will show a ‘BAT TERY LOW’ alert in idle mode approximately one week before the batteries run out of power. After ‘BATTERY LOW’ is shown in the display the IR-trans­mitter is disabled, and the loudest alarm level is reduced.
The alarm clock requires three
batteries. We recommend that you use 1.5 volt (size AA) Alkaline batteries only. Do not use any rechargeable batteries!
Replace the batteries as shown in the illustration.
Time settings are maintained for
approximately 4 minutes without batteries.

Cleaning

Wipe dust off the surfaces using a dry, soft cloth. To remove stains or dirt, use a soft, damp cloth and a solution of water and mild detergent, such as washing-up liquid.
19
The battery tool can be kept in the
wall bracket for future use.
