INSTALLING/REPLACING A BACK-UP BATTERY
To keep the clock running during an AC power failure, install a 9-volt
battery. For best performance we recommend Radio Shack's alkaline battery
(such as Cat. No. 23-553, not supplied).
NOTES: Replace the battery when the BATTERY SENTINEL indicator lights.
If the display flashes after an AC power failure, the battery is
too low to accurately run the clock. Replace the battery and reset
the clock. A fresh battery can keep the clock running for up to 8
hours.
To prevent unnecessary drain on the clock's backup battery, install
the battery after you plug in the AC power cord.
Follow these steps to install/replace the backup battery.
1. Push, the battery compartment cover's tab in the direction of the arrow
and remove the cover.
2. Remove and discard the old battery.
CAUTIONS: Always dispose of the battery promptly and properly.
Never leave a dead, old, or weak battery in your
clock/radio. It can leak chemicals and corrode or damage
electronic circuits.
3. Place the battery connector over the 9-volt battery terminals and snap
it in place on the battery. Then place the battery in the battery
compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment cover.
MOUNTING YOUR TELEPHONE ON A DESKTOP
Follow these steps to install the phone as a desk phone.
1. Plug one end of the supplied coiled cord into the jack on the
telephone's handset.
NOTE: To make it easier to connect the telephone cords, you might want
to temporarily disconnect the AC power cord from the standard
AC outlet.
