A Consumer Guide to Product Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure
your personal safety. However, improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire
hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation and
use, and keep these instructions handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings
listed in these instructions and printed on the product.
1. Water and Moisture — The unit should be kept dry and away from water or other
liquids. If liquid is spilled on the unit, or if the unit should fall or be accidentally placed
in or on a wet or damp area, immediately unplug the unit.
2. Ventilation — The unit should be set up in an area and position that does not interfere
with its proper ventilation. Check to see where the ventilation opening is on the product.
Do not set up the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the opening.
Do not keep the unit in a tight-fitting installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet, which
impedes the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
3. Heat — The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, space
heaters, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce or emit heat.
4. Power Sources — The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type
described in the operating instructions, or as marked on the appliance.
5. Grounding or Polarization — This unit is equipped with a two-pronged, polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug
only fits into your power outlet in one direction. This is a safety feature. If you are having
difficulty inserting the plug fully into your outlet, try reversing the plug blades; do not
force the plug into the outlet. If you are still having difficulty, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet.
6. Power-Supply Cord Protection — Power-supply cords should be routed so that
they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to areas at the outlet and where they exit from the unit.
7. Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
8. Cleaning — The unit should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
See the Maintenance section of this manual for cleaning instructions.
9. Periods of Nonuse — If the unit is to be left unused for an extensive period of time,
such as longer than a month, the power cord should be unplugged from the outlet.
10. Object and Liquid Entry — Care should be taken so that objects do not fall
and/or liquids do not spill into any openings or vents located on the product.
12. Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer.
13. Damage Requiring Service — The appliance should be serviced by qualified service
personnel when:
A. the power-supply cord or plug has been damaged.
B. objects have fallen and/or liquid has been spilled into openings or vents.
C. the unit has been exposed to rain.
D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.
14. Antenna — The user should not connect an external antenna to the unit.
15. Servicing — The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond methods described
in the operating instructions. Any servicing not covered in the instructions should be left
to qualified service personnel. Please also see the Warranty Information for more
information on product servicing. Please call 1-800-888-4491 if you have any questions.

Battery Backup Installation
It is strongly recommended that a 9-Volt battery be installed into the unit,
as directed below, in order to activate this product’s Battery Backup feature.
In the event that the AC power cord is disconnected or a power failure or
other interruption occurs, the Battery Backup will maintain clock and alarm
settings for the life of the battery. During any interruptions the clock display
will be blank, but time and alarm settings will be saved and automatically
restored when AC power is again active.
To install the battery:
1. Open the battery compartment cover.
2. Install one 9-Volt battery (alkaline is
recommended for longer life), making
sure that the large terminal matches to
the large outlet.
After installing the battery and reading the Maintenance notes, plug the AC
power cord into an outlet, being sure to match the wide blade of the plug
to the wide slot of the outlet. Never force the plug into an outlet. When the
unit is connected to AC power for the first time, the display may blink until
the time is set.
Battery Compartment
Note: You should replace the battery every six months, or after any extended
power outage that could drain the battery power.
Maintenance
1. Place the unit on a level surface away from direct sunlight or sources
of excessive heat.
2. Protect your furniture when placing the unit on natural wood or wood
with a lacquered finish. A cloth or other protective material should be
placed between the unit and the furniture.
3. Clean the casing with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and
water. Stronger cleaning agents, such as thinner, benzine, or similar
materials are not recommended, as they may damage the surface of
the case.
4. If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period, such as a month or
longer, remove the batteries to prevent possible corrosion. Should the
battery compartment become corroded or dirty, clean the compartment
thoroughly and replace all the batteries.
