Sure Time Battery Back-Up
The back-up battery will keep the clock
operating during a power interruption.
When power is resumed, the display will
show the current time.
Battery installation —
1 Connect a 9-Volt battery (not
included) to the snaps, observ
ing correct polarity.
A battery installed with incorrect
polarity may leak and damage the
unit.
The alarm time is not affected by a power
interruption—so there is no need to reset
the alarm.
2 Place the battery in the com
partment by inserting it in the
direction of the arrow 0, while
pushing the battery holder in
the direction of the arrow Q.
Note no battery cover is used.

When should the battery be replaced
Unplug the AC power cord from the AC
power outlet. After several seconds, plug it
back into the outlet, if the digits flash con
tinuously, replace the battery with a new
one.
Operation
The sure time battery back-up is designed
to keep the clock operating in the event of
a power failure or interruption. (Such as
when moving this unit to a different room.)
Whenever a power interruption occurs, the
clock display will disappear. However even
though the display is completely blacked
out, the 9-volt back-up battery will take
over as the power source and the present
time and the alarm time will be preserved.
Replace the battery with a new one after
one year of use (most batteries have a
shelf life of approximatery one year).
If an extended power failure or interruption
occurs, replace the battery with a new one.
Even if the power is not resumed by the
wake-up time, the buzzer alarm will acti
vate.
Notes
When the set is unplugged (not in use) for
a long time, remove the back-up battery to
prevent possible battery leakage.
Power failures may occur at any time of the
night or day and can be of a long or short
duration.
Most failures are so short that people don’t
even notice the interruption. These inter
ruptions do, however, affect clocks which
do not incorporate a battery back-up.
If the power is not resumed by the wake-up
time, the radio alarm will not activate.
If the back-up battery goes dead during a
power interruption, the present time and
alarm time must also be reset after the
interruption.
The back-up battery wilt be exhausted
after about 17 hours of total (accumulative)
use. (The battery life will vary depending
on the frequency of the power interrup
tion.)
After a power interruption, the time shown
in the display window may not be always
correct (it may gain or lose about six
minutes per hour).

Helpful Hints
Keep the unit away from heating devices
and electrical noise generating devices
such as fluorescent lamps and motors.
The unit should be kept free from dust,
moisture, and vibration, and should not be
exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not clean the plastic cabinet with
benzine or thinner. Clean it with a solution
of soap and water.
Avoid spray-type insecticides. Some in
secticides contain chemicals that could
cause cabinet deformation.
Do not connect the unit to an AC outlet
other than one supplying the specified vol

Avoid cuts, scratches, or poor connections
in the AC power cord which may result in
fire or electric shock hazard. Also exces
sive bending, pulling, or splicing of the cord
should be avoided.
Do not unplug the AC power cord by
pulling on the cord. To do so may cause
premature failure or shock hazard.
If the unit is not going to be used for a long
period of time, remove the back up battery
to prevent possible damage due to battery
leakage.
