Battery Back-Up Operation

This clock radio is equipped with a
memory holding system that can be
powered with 2 “AA” batteries
(included). The power failure protection
circuit will not operate unless battery is
installed.
When normal household power is
interrupted, or the AC line cord is
unplugged, the batteries will power the
clock radio to keep track of time and
alarm settings programmed into
memory. When the battery backup
functions, the digital display will not
light, however, the function of alarm still
occurs during the 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.

Install batteries as follow:

1. Unlock the battery compartment door
(located at the bottom of the radio) by
sliding the tab away from the door.

2. Open the battery compartment door.

3. Insert 2 “AA” batteries with polarities
matching indications.

4. Replace the compartment door and
slide the tab to lock battery
compartment.
