Before You Begin

The HMDX Audio C30 uses a backup battery system to provide
continuous alarm settings in the event of a power failure. Two “AA”
batteries (included) must be inserted into the battery compartment if
memory back-up is desired. When the backup batteries are installed: In
the event of power outages or if the DC cord is accidentally disconnected,
the LCD display will not be illuminated, but the current time and alarm
settings will be temporarily maintained. As soon as the power supply
returns, the LCD display will indicate the correct time.

Getting Started

Setting Clock Time

1. Press the TIME SET BUTTON located on the back of the unit (Fig. 4);
hour digit will begin flashing. Turn the SET +/- KNOB until the current
hour is displayed. Remember to set the correct AM or PM (an icon in
the upper left of the time display is the PM INDICATOR; there is no AM
indicator) (Fig. 2).

2. Press the TIME SET BUTTON again; minute digits will begin flashing.
Turn the SET +/- KNOB until the current minute is displayed.

3. Press the TIME SET BUTTON again to exit the clock setting mode or
after 5 seconds the display will stop flashing to indicate the time is set.

Install/Replace Backup Battery

may be lost during battery replacement.

2. Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit.

3. Insert two “AA” batteries, checking that the positive polarity follows the
direction of the instructions inside the battery compartment.

4. Close the compartment cover.

Note: Batteries must be installed in order for time & alarm memory

back-up to operate. In the event of a power failure or
disconnection, if the battery is not installed, the clock and
alarm will need to be re-set when power is restored.

Battery Precautions

• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.

• When installing batteries, observe proper +/- polarities. Incorrect
installation of battery may cause damage to the unit.

• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g., alkaline with
carbon-zinc or old batteries with new ones).

• If the unit is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove
batteries to prevent damage due to possible battery leakage.

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak.
