Maintenance and Setup

1. Place the clock 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 coated 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 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.

Battery Installation

This alarm clock radio operates on 2 “AA” batteries.

Note: Batteries should only be installed by an adult.

Installing the Batteries

1. The  Battery Compartment is located

on the back of the cabinet. Turn the clock
around and open the compartment latch.

2. Install 2 “AA” batteries (not included),

making sure the polarities match the
diagram printed inside the compartment.

3. Close the door, making sure it clicks shut,

and return the clock to its standing position.

For the Best Battery Performance

• We recommend using alkaline batteries.

• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

• Remove rechargeable batteries from the clock before charging.

• Do not mix different battery types, including new and used batteries.

• Only use batteries of the same or equivalent type.

• Remove exhausted batteries from the clock.

• Do not short-circuit the supply terminals.

• Batteries should always be removed if the clock is not going to be

used for an extended period of time (approximately 30 days or more)
to prevent leakage or damage.

Operating the Alarm and Snooze Features

minutes or until manually stopped before turning off automatically.
This cycle will repeat every 12 hours until the alarm is deactivated.
