will not light, however, the alarm will still sound during
power interruption if the remaining battery power is
adequate.

• Normal operation will resume after AC power is
restored so you will not have to reset the time or the
alarm.

Electrical power information

AC/DC Adaptor:
Input: 100 - 240 V ~ AC 50/60 Hz
Output: 5.0 V---DC 1.2A

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.

FCC Information

FCC Information

Alkaline (1.5V) battery is recommended.
Carbon-zinc battery may be used but
memory holding time will be substantially
reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh
alkaline battery is approximately 8 hours (if alarm
is not operated) which should take care of short,
nuisance-type AC power failures. To preserve battery
life, the unit should remain plugged into an AC
outlet. As the battery gets older, its voltage drops and
memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the battery
periodically. Battery should be removed if the unit will
be stored for more than one month. A leaky battery
can badly damage the clock radio.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by VOXX
Accessories Corporation could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
