INSTALLATION
AC Plug
AC Outlet
9V
Unravel the AC cord and connect it to a conveniently located AC outlet having 120V and 60Hz only. The Clock Display will illuminate and a flashing time will appear in the window. The Clock Display will continue to flash until the time has been set. CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.
If the AC cord is disconnected or if there is a power failure, this electronic clock is designed to continue operating internally (without showing the time on the Clock Display) with a 9 volt battery (not included). To install the battery, open the battery compartment by pressing in the tab and lifting off the door. Connect the battery to the terminals of the battery snap inside the compartment (use of an alkaline battery is recommended) and slide the battery compartment cover into place.
Be sure to check the condition of the battery periodically by disconnecting the AC cord and connecting it again 2 or 3 minutes later. The preset times should continue operating. If a flashing time appears on the Clock Display, it indicates the battery is dead or not connected properly. The 9 volt battery will keep the internal time accurately for approximately 30 minutes. If the power is restored after 30 minutes, the time may need to be reset.
• Replacement of batteries must be done by an Adult.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• Do not use rechargeable batteries.
• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed.
• Only batteries of the equivalent type are to be used.
• Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
