POWER SUPPLY

POWER BREAKDOWN BACKUP

When a power failure occurs the complete clock radio will be switched off. When the power supply returns, the numbers on the display will start to flash and you will need to reset the correct time on the clock.

To retain the clock time and the set alarm time in the event of an AC power failure or disconnection, insert a 9 volt battery, type 6F22 (not supplied) into the battery compartment: this will act as a power backup. However, the time will not be illuminated on the clock display. Operation of the alarm and radio are also excluded. For clarity, the battery backup is used to retain the clock and alarm time only. As soon as the power supply returns, the display will indicate the correct time.

1. Insert the battery into the battery compartment.

2. Connect the power plug to the wall outlet.

• Replace the battery once a year, or as often as necessary.

Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.
