Battery Back-Up Operation
This clock radio is equipped with a memory
EN
holding system that is powered with a 9­volt battery (not 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 battery 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. Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset the time or the alarm.
Note: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A / IEC 6LR61) battery is
recommended. Carbon Zinc (NEDA 1604 / IEC 6F22) bat-
tery may be used but memory holding time will be substan-
tially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 8 hours (if radio or alarm is not operated), which should take care of short, nuisance-type AC power failures. To preserve battery life, the radio should remain plugged into an AC outlet. As batteries get older, their voltage drops and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the battery periodically. Battery should be removed if the radio will be stored for more than one month. Leaky batteries may badly damage the clock radio.
Install battery as follows:
1. Remove battery compartment door (lo­cated at the bottom of the radio) by ap­plying thumb pressure to area indicated on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery to the connector plug.
3. Insert battery in the compartment and 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 optional battery is 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.

When tuning FM stations, you may notice that the station you are tuning can be well-tuned on two or three nearby points on the dial. Always tune carefully at the loudest and clearest point.
