INSTALLING A BACK-UP BATTERY

Your clock radio has a back-up pow er system that operates the clock and alarm during a power failure. The d isplay turns off, but the clock keeps running for at least 8 hours (depending on battery strength), and the alarm sounds at the alarm time for at least 10 minutes.

The Battery Sentinel indicat or, a s m all red dot at the bottom right of the display, appears if the battery is not installed or needs to be replaced.
