PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your clock requires two AA batteries
(not supplied) for power. For the best
operation and longest life, We recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (stan-
dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
1. Pull the tab on the battery compart-
ment cover at the back of the clock
to remove the cover.
2. Place the batteries in the compart-
ment as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
Notes:
• When
BATT
flashes on the display,
replace the batteries with fresh
ones.
• If the clock does not operate after
you install the batteries, remove
them and wait about five seconds
until the display clears. Then rein-
stall the batteries.
As soon as you install the batteries, all
display segments briefly appear. Then

appears, indicating January

the Time, Date, and Language” on

For about 2 minutes after you install the
batteries, the clock scans for the radio
signal while flashes.
