Before you begin

Refer to the “Clock” section 
and follow the instructions 
to get the clock time shown 
correctly with the Auto Clock 
set feature.

Battery back-up operation

This clock radio is equipped with 
a memory holding system that 
can be powered with 2 “AA” 
batteries (included). The power 
failure protection circuit will not 
operate unless battery is installed. 
When normal household power 
is interrupted, or AC line cord 
is unplugged, the batteries will 
power the clock radio to keep 
track of time and alarm settings 
programmed into memory. When 
the battery backup functions, 
the digital display will not light, 
however, the function of alarm 
still occurs during the power 
interruption if remaining battery 
power is adequate. Normal 
operation will resume after AC 
power is restored so you will not 
have to reset the time or the alarm.

Install battery as follow:
1. Remove battery compartment 

door (located at the bottom of 
the radio) by applying thumb 

pressure to the tab on battery 
door and then lift the door 
out and off the cabinet.

2.  Insert 2 AA batteries 

(included).

3.  Replace the compartment door.

Note: we recommend that you 
replace the batteries every year.

Power is fed to the unit 
even when it is not 
functioning. To cut the 
power supply off, the power 
cable must be unplugged.

Power failure indicator

When AC power is interrupted 
(disconnected) for a short period of 
time, both time and alarm settings 
will change (unless batteries are 
installed).  After AC power is 
restored (reconnected), the Digital 
Display will blink to indicate that 
power was interrupted and you 
should readjust the time and alarm 
settings.

Plugging in for power

AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY: 
120 V~60 Hz

The AC power plug 
is polarized (one 
blade is wider than 
the other) and only

outlets one way. 

If the plug will not go into the 
outlet completely, turn the plug 
over and try to insert it the other 
way. If it still does not fi t, contact 
a qualifi ed electrician to change 
the outlet, or use a different one.  
Do not attempt to bypass this 
safety feature.

Important battery

of fi re, explosion, or chemical 
burn if abused. Do not try to 
charge a battery that is not 
intended to be recharged, do 
not incinerate, and do not 
puncture.

• Non-rechargeable batteries, 

such as alkaline batteries, may 
leak if left in your product for 
a long period of time. Remove 
the batteries from the product 
if you are not going to use it 
for a month or more.

•  If your product uses more 

than one battery, do not mix
