TO INSTALL THE BATTERY
•

can only be connected one way.
•
Push the battery into the battery compartment and
replace the cover.
POWER FAILURE INDICATOR
If no battery is installed in the radio, or if the battery in the compartment is weak or
dead, the time and alarm settings will be lost if the power is interrupted. When the
power is restored the clock display will begin flashing. This is your indication that
the time display is incorrect and needs to be reset.
Important:
After you reset the time, be sure to reset your alarm settings as well.
POWER SOURCE
This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not
attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage
to the radio that is not covered by your warranty.
This radio should be connected to an AC outlet that is always ‘live’. Do not connect
it to an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. When the power to the radio is
interrupted, the Sure Alarm battery back up system takes over to maintain the time
and alarm settings. To maximize the life of the back up battery, keep the radio
connected to a ‘live’ AC outlet at all times.
This radio uses a polarized AC plug which
has one blade wider than the other. This
plug will only fit into a polarized AC outlet.
This is a safety feature. If the plug will not
fit, you may have an older non-polarized
AC outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature
by trying to file the wider blade, or replacing
the plug. Contact an electrician to replace
your outdated outlet.
