power outlets one way. If the
plug will not go into the outlet
completely, turn the plug over
and try to insert it the other
way. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to change the outlet, or use a
different one. Do not attempt to bypass this
safety feature.

Before You Begin

Plugging In For Power

AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY:

120V~60Hz

Battery Back-Up Operation

The power failure protection circuit will
not operate unless battery is installed.

When the battery backup functions, the
digital display will not light, however, the
wake function 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 wake.

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. Connect a 9-volt battery (not supplied)
to the connector plug.

3. Replace the compartment door.

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.

6LR61) batteries are 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 radio or
alarm are 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. Leaky battery
can badly damage the clock radio.
