Backup battery
As with all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be
replaced. A number of factors, such as the length of time between the date
your clock radio was manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the
first time, determine the amount of time before replacement. During this
initial storage period the lithium backup battery is supplying power to your
clock radios computer memory. Once you connect your clock radio to the
household AC mains supply the battery no longer supplies power to your
clock radio. A fresh backup battery can supply power to your clock radio’s
computer memory for 3 years even if it is never connected to a mains supply.
If your clock radio was connected to the AC mains supply within a few
months after it was manufactured and you experience only short interruptions
to the mains supply, your battery may last for up to 5 years or even longer .
When the power drops below a certain level the Low battery indicator will
light. When you see this indicator you should change the battery as soon as
it is convenient to do so.
See following page for details on battery replacement.
If you need any further advice, please call our Technical Helpline on :020 8758 0338 (Mon-Fri)

Changing the backup battery
1. Purchase a replacement lithium backup battery type CR2430 or equivalent.
2. Remove the fresh battery from its packaging so that it is ready to install.
3. Important. Maintain connection to AC mains supply during battery
replacement. This will provide power whilst the original battery is removed.
4. Use a small screwdriver to remove the two small screws securing the
battery holder on cabinet back.
5. Remove the battery holder from cabinet.
6. Remove old battery from holder noting polarity . Replace new battery with
same polarity.
7. Replace the holder into cabinet back.
