Power failure protection
By inserting 2x Micro 1b5 V AAA batteries (for KH 2292 under the appliance, for models 2293/94 at the rear in a separate compart­ment), you can avoid that the functioning of the appliance is interrupted in case of a power failure and therefore avoid losing the date, time and any alarm time set in the appliance. The batteries ensure that the radio alarm continues to run on an emergency power supply even after there is a failure in the mains. However, the LCD display does not light up. When switching back on the mains supply the correct time automatically appears on the display.
Note: The alarm, radio and the LED display do not function with the batteries. Replace all of the batteries once a year.
