About the backup
battery
To keep good time, as a backup power source, this unit
has one CR2032 battery inside of the unit in addition
to the house current.
The battery keeps the clock and the alarm operating in
the event of a power interruption.
Note that the backlight will not light up during a
power interruption.
Note for customers in Canada
The clock is preset at the factory, and its memory is
powered by the preinstalled Sony CR2032 battery. If
the “AM 12:00” appears on the display when the unit is
connected to AC outlet for the first time, the battery
may be weak. In this case, consult a Sony dealer. The
preinstalled CR2032 battery is considered part of the
product, and is covered by the warranty.
You are required to show “Note for customers in
Canada” (in this instruction) to a Sony dealer in order
to validate the warranty for this product.
Knowing when to replace the
battery
If a power interruption occurs when the battery is
weak, the brightness of characters in the display
darkens. If the battery runs out during the
interruption, the current time and alarm functions will
be initialized.
Replace the battery with a Sony CR2032 lithium
battery. Use of another battery may present a risk of
fire or explosion.
Replacing the backup battery
1
Keep the AC plug connected to the AC
outlet, remove the screw that secures the
battery compartment at the bottom of the
unit using a screwdriver, and remove the
battery compartment. (See Fig.

2
Insert a new battery in the battery
compartment with the
side facing up.
To remove the battery from the battery
compartment, push it out from the side marked
PUSH. (See Fig.
-
)
3
Insert the battery compartment back into
the unit and secure it with the screw.
(See Fig.

Note
When you replace the battery, keep the AC plug
connected to a wall outlet. Otherwise, current time
and alarms will be initialized if the replacement is not
completed within around one minute.
If the time in the display is
incorrect after the battery is
changed (RESET)
Push the Reset switch with the pointed device. The
Reset switch is in the small hole located in the battery
compartment.
Notes
You cannot reset unless the lithium battery is
installed.
Set the clock again after the unit is reset.
Battery Warning
When the unit will be left unplugged for a long time,
remove the battery to avoid undue battery discharge
and damage to the unit from battery leakage.
Preparing the remote
commander
Before using the card remote commander for the first
time, remove the insulation film. (See Fig.
-
)
When to replace the battery
With normal use, the battery (CR2025) should last for
about six months. When the remote commander no
longer operates the unit, replace the battery with new
ones. (See Fig.
-
)
Notes
Do not charge the battery.
When you are not going to use the remote
commander for a long time, remove the battery to
avoid any damage caused by leakage and corrosion.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
Do not leave the unit in a location near a heat
source, such as a radiator or airduct, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical
vibration, or shock.
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat build-up. Do not place the unit on a surface (a
rug, blanket, etc.) or near materials (a curtain) that
might block the ventilation holes.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with
a mild detergent solution.
