INSTALLATION
Unravel the AC cord and connect it to a
conveniently located AC outlet having 120V
and 60Hz only. The Clock Display will
illuminate and “0:00” or “12:00” will blink in
the window.
NOTE:
If the AC plug does not fit into a
nonpolarized outlet, do not file or cut the
wide blade. It is the user’s responsibility to have an electrician replace the
obsolete outlet.
If the AC cord is disconnected or if there is a power failure, this electronic
clock is designed to continue operating internally (without showing the time
on the Clock Display) with two (2) AAA size batteries (not included).
To install the batteries:
• Remove the battery compartment door by inserting a
small screwdriver, paper clip or similar item into the tab
while gently pushing to remove.
• Insert two (2) AAA size batteries into the battery
compartment. Be sure to observe the polarity markings
which are engraved inside the battery compartment. If the
batteries are inserted incorrectly, the unit will not operate.
• Replace the battery compartment door.
Be sure to check the condition of the batteries periodically by disconnecting
the AC cord and connecting it again two or three minutes later. The preset
times should continue operating. If the present time does not appear, it
indicates the battery is dead or not connected properly.
