"Sure Alarm" Battery Backup Installation
The Battery Low Indicator flashes when there is not enough power to run the backup. It is
recommended that 2 “AAA” batteries be installed into the unit, as directed below, to activate
the “Sure Alarm” battery backup feature. In the event that the AC power cord is disconnected
or a power failure or other interruption occurs, the “Sure Alarm” system will maintain clock
and alarm settings for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarm will sound at the set
time (Note: while operating on battery power, all set alarms will sound as a buzzer). When
power is restored, the clock will cease using battery power, and will again operate on AC
power.
Do not replace batteries without the unit connected to
AC power or you will lose all clock settings.

compartment door.
2. Install 2 “AAA” batteries (alkaline batteries are
recommended for longer life) into the battery
compartment, making sure that the + and – polarities
match the diagram inside the compartment.
