Changing The Lithium Battery

Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A
number of factors, such as, the length of time between the date the radio was
manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first time determine the amount
of time before replacement. During this initial storage period, the lithium battery is
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 2 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.
When

 

the

 

battery

 

power

 

drops

 

below

 

a

 

certain

 

level

the

     

LOW

 

BATT

indicator 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.

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.

BE

 

CAREFUL

 

NOT

 

TO

 

LOSE

 

THIS

!

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!
WARNING: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED.
                    REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.

Resetting The Clock After A Total Memory Loss

If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time
after you see the        warning indicator, the lithium battery may become exhausted

computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after the battery 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.
If the lithium battery is exhausted and you experience an interruption in the AC
power supply, the clock will reset itself to its initial default setting when the power is
restored.
