Humid or moist places. 

 

POWER SOURCE 

This unit is designed to operate on 120V~ 60Hz AC house current.  Operating this unit 
on  any other power source may cause damage to the unit, and such damage is not 
covered by your warranty. 

It  is also equipped with a battery back-up system for the clock that is powered by an 
optional 9V battery (type 6F22 or equivalent) – not included. 

 

BATTERY BACK – UP SYSTEM  

The Battery Back-up System ensures the clock and alarm settings will be retained during a 

power interruption or power outage (in order to preserve the battery life the Display will not 

light). All clock settings will be kept in memory, however, the clock time may require 

adjustment for exact accuracy once the power returns. If a battery is not installed, the 

Display will blink”12:00” when the power is restored. This will indicate that you have to reset 

the time and alarm settings. 

BATTERY INSTALLATION 

1.  Open the battery compartment door on the bottom of the cabinet then connect one 

DC 9V battery to the Battery Clip located inside.   

Note:

 The battery clip only fits one way to ensure the correct polarity. 

2. 

Replace the Battery Compartment Door.

     

 

IMPORTANT

Be sure that the battery is installed correctly. Wrong polarity may 
damage the unit. 

3. 

For optimum performance an alkaline-type battery is recommended. 

4. 

If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the battery. Old 
or leaking battery can cause damage to the unit and will void the warranty. 

5. 

Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat, 

rupture and leak. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions). 

6. 

Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may leak or explode. 

 

POWER FAILURE INDICATOR 

If there is no battery installed in the unit or the battery installed is weak or dead, the time 
and alarm settings will be lost if the power is interrupted. When the AC power is restored 
the display will flash  “12:00”. This indicates that the time displayed is incorrect and 
needs to be reset. 

 
IMPORTANT: 

After you reset the time, be sure to reset your alarm settings as well.
