IMPORTANT!
•
It is recommended to place the alarm clock under any source of light
daily for 12 hour to allow sufficient charging time for the rechargeable
alkaline battery. Under this recommended condition, the rechargeable
alkaline battery life can be used up to 5 years. Otherwise the life
expectancy of the battery is approximately 2 years, depending on alarm
activation times and backlight usage.
•
Do not use any normal Ni-Cd or NiMH or Lithium battery charger to
recharge the rechargeable alkaline battery. Only use a charger unit
designed for this specific type of battery and purpose.
•
Do not insert any other kind of battery other than the 1,5V rechargeable
alkaline battery in the battery compartment as they may cause damage
to the clock and may result to cause an explosion!
Note:
If the low battery indicator is displayed on the LCD, position the alarm clock under
any source of light or place the rechargeable battery into an appropriate Alkaline
charger to charge up its rechargeable alkaline battery.
Unless the alarm clock is manually reset, the low battery indicator will remain
displayed.
