backup battery installation
Two (2) ‘AAA’ size batteries can also be used to power the unit, as well as backup for the clock, alarm time,
preset memories if the AC/DC adapter is disconnected or there is a power failure.
Open the battery door by pushing in on the tabs, then removing the door.
Insert two (2) ‘AAA’ batteries following the correct polarity indicated in the battery compartment.
Replace the battery door back on the compartment.
notes: The batteries are used to backup the clock and alarm times when the AC adaptor is disconnected or there
is a power failure. Alkaline batteries are recommended for the longest playing time.
The battery indicator will appear and flash in the display when there are no batteries or when the batteries are low
and need to be replaced.
When replacing the battery, do not disconnect the AC power adapter otherwise the current time, alarm and station
presets will be erased.
