supplying power to the SmartSet   computer memory. Once you plug the radio in,
your household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is not being used. A fresh 
lithium battery can supply power to the SmartSet   computer for at least 3 years even
 if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your clock radio was connected to 
your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and you experience 
only the normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions, your battery may
last for up to 5 years or even longer.

will 'Flash'. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as
it is convenient for you to do so. To change the battery proceed as follows:
1.) Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold . The
      battery type is 

CR2032

 or equivalent.

2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.

If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time

is exhausted or if a power interruption occurs, the SmartSet   memory will be lost
and the clock will need to be reset when the power is restored.
Be sure to install a fresh lithium battery before you reset the clock, otherwise the 
clock will need to be reset each time the power is interrupted.

The initial default setting is "

If you notice that the time on your SmartSet   clock radio is completely incorrect,
and the

Changing The Lithium Battery

IMPORTANT: 

Leave the AC adapter connected to your AC outlet.

This will provide power to the SmartSet   computer memory while the original 
lithium battery is removed.

3.) Turn the radio face up and use a small screw driver to remove the screw securing 
      the battery holder to the cabinet.
4.) Remove the original battery from the holder and insert the new battery into the
     holder the same way, observing the positive (+) direction. Slide the holder with
     the new battery back into the slot in the cabinet.

5.) Replace the screw that secures the battery holder in the cabinet.

         

6.) Turn

 

the

 

radio

 

right

 

side

 

up

 

and

 

confirm

 

that

 

the         

LOW BATT

 indicator is 'Off'.

7.) Save these instructions. You'll have to do this again five to eight years from Now!
