CONNECTING TO AC
POWER
Plug the alarm clock’s power cord into
a standard AC outlet. The display
flashes
12:00
until you set the time
(see “Setting the Time” on Page 3).
INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY
Your alarm clock 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.
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 alarm clock requires a 9-volt bat-
tery (not supplied) for its back-up pow-
er system. For the best performance
and longest life, we recommend an al-
kaline 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 alarm clock to AC power.
1. Push the battery compartment
cover in the direction of the arrow
and lift off the cover.
2. Snap the alarm clock’s battery
contacts onto the battery termi-
nals, then put the battery into the
compartment. The Battery Senti-
nel indicator turns off.
3. Replace the cover and slide it in
the opposite direction to snap it
into place.
Replace the battery when the Battery
Sentinel indicator lights.
Warning: Always dispose of an old
battery promptly and properly.
