INSTALLATION
Unravel the AC cord and connect it to a
conveniently located AC outlet having 120V
and 60Hz only. The Clock Display will
illuminate and “12:00” will blink in the window.
NOTE:
If the AC plug does not fit into a
nonpolarized outlet, do not file or cut the wide
blade.
If the AC cord is disconnected or if there is a
power failure, this electronic clock is designed
to continue operating internally (without showing the time on the Clock Display)
with a 9 volt battery (not included). To install the battery, remove the battery
compartment cover by pressing in on the tab, then connect the battery to the
terminals of the battery snap inside the compartment (use of an alkaline battery is
recommended). Replace the battery compartment cover.
Be sure to check the condition of the battery
periodically by disconnecting the AC cord and
connecting it again 2 or 3 minutes later. The preset
times should continue operating. If the present time
does not appear, it indicates the battery is dead or not
connected properly. The 9 volt battery will keep the
internal times accurately for approximately 30
minutes. If the power is restored after 30 minutes, the
times may need to be reset.
