Plugging In For Power
AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY:
120V~60Hz
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 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 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 battery as follow:
1. Remove battery compartment
door (located at the bottom of
the radio) by applying thumb
pressure to the tab on battery
door and then lift the door
out and off the cabinet.
2. Insert 2 AA batteries
(included).
3. Replace the compartment
door.
Note: we recommend that you
replace the batteries every 2-3
years.
Power Failure Indicator
When AC power is interrupted
(disconnected) for a short period
of time, both time and alarm
settings will change (unless
batteries are installed). After AC
power is restored (reconnected),
the Digital Display will blink to
indicate that power was interrupted and you should readjust
the time and alarm settings.
Power is fed to the
unit even when it is
not functioning. To cut
the power supply off,
the power cable must be
unplugged.
