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

lights if there is either no battery installed or the installed battery requires
replacement.
Your clock radio requires a 9-volt battery
