A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper 

performance.   

 

Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries 

dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in 

performance.   

 

Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF 

(radio frequency) interference from the battery compartment.  

 

Digital Clock Factory Restart 

 

Explanation: The factory restart returns the digital clock to an “out-of-the-box”

on and will not disappear). 

4.
