INSTALLING A BACK-UP
BATTERY
Your clock radio has a back-up power
system that operates the clock and
alarm during a power failure. The dis-
play turns off, but the clock keeps run-
ning for at least 8 hours (depending on
battery strength), and the alarm
sounds at the alarm time for at least 10
minutes.
The Battery Sentinel indicator, a small
red dot at the bottom right of the dis-
play, appears if the battery is not in-
stalled or needs to be replaced.
Your clock radio requires a 9-volt bat-
tery (not supplied) for its back-up pow-
er system. For the best performance,
we recommend an alkaline battery,
such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.
Caution: Use only a fresh battery of
the required size and recommended
type.
Note: To prevent unnecessary drain
on the battery, install it only after con-
necting the clock radio to AC power.
1. Lift the battery compartment latch
in the direction of the arrow and
pull off the cover.
2. Snap the clock radio’s battery
contacts onto the battery termi-
nals, then insert the battery into
the compartment. The Battery
Sentinel indicator turns off.
3. Replace the cover.
Caution: Do not leave an old or weak
battery in the clock radio. Batteries can
leak and damage the clock’s electronic
parts.
Warning: Always dispose of an old
battery promptly and properly. Do not
bury or burn it.
