INSTALLING A BACK-UP
BATTER Y
If AC power fails, the clo ck radio has a
Battery Sentinel ba ck-up power system
that continues to operate the clock for
up to 8 hours with the display tu rned off
to conserve power. This lets the alarm
sound for at least 10 minutes at the set
time, even if AC power fails.
The BATTERY SENTINEL indicator
lights if there is either no battery installed or the installed battery requires
replacement.
Your clock radio requires a 9-volt battery
(not supplied) for its ba ck-up po wer sy stem. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend a RadioShack
alkaline battery.
Follow these steps to install th e back -up
battery once you have connected the
clock to AC power.
1. Press the battery compartment
cover’s tab in the direction of the
arrow, then lift off the cover to
remove it.
2. Snap the battery in to the connector
in the battery compartment and
place the battery in the compartment. The BATTERY SENTINEL
indicator turns off.
3. Replace the cover.
Caution:
weak battery. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Warning:
