PREPARATION

CONNECTING POWER

To operate the clock, plug the power cord into a standard AC outlet. The
display flashes

12:00 until you set the time (see “Se tting the Time ” on

Page 6).

INSTALLING A BACKUP BATTERY

If AC power fails, your c lock uses an internal 9-vol t backup batt ery (not
supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we rec­ommend a RadioShack alkaline battery.

Warning:

Always dispose of an ol d battery promptly and properly. Do

not bury or burn it

Caution:

Use only fresh batterie s of the requi red size a nd recomme nd-

ed type.
Follow these steps to install the battery.

lights, or the display flashes after AC pow-

er is restored, replace the battery.

Caution:

Always remove an old or weak battery. Batteries can leak

chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Note:

The backup battery operates the cloc k and alarm for u p to eight
hours. To conserve battery power the display does not light when AC
power fails. If the backup battery has enough power when the AC power
is restored, the clock's time will still be accurate.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your RadioShack 0.9 Inch LED Alarm Clock is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you
care for your alarm clock so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the alarm clock dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immedi­ately. Liquids might con tain minerals that can corrode the
electronic circuits.

Use and store the alarm cloc k only in normal temperature
environments. Temper ature extremes can shorten the life
of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the alarm clock a way from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.

Handle the alarm clock gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards an d cas es and ca n caus e the alar m
clock to work improperly.

Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recom­mended type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage
your alarm clock’s electronic parts.

Wipe the alarm clock with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep it looking new. D o not use harsh chemicals, cle aning
solvents, or strong detergents to clean the alarm clock.

Modifying or tampering with the alarm clock’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your alarm
clock is not perfo rming as it should , take it to your lo cal RadioShack
store for assistance.
