CaUTiOnS:

•  Before use, make sure the rated voltage of the adapter matches your local 

voltage.

•  If you are not going to use the unit for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter 

from the wall outlet.

•  Whenever the AC adapter is plugged in to a wall outlet, electricity is running 

through the unit, even when the power button on the unit is turned off.

power Back-Up During power interruption

Open the battery door at the bottom of the unit and insert two 
“AA size” batteries into the battery compartment. 
We recommend you install two “AA size” batteries (not included) 
for  the  power  back-up  function.  If  the  AC  power  supply  is 
interrupted,  the  batteries  supply  power  to  keep  the  clock 
operating and the alarm times set.
•  During power interruption, the clock function is still maintained. The alarm sound 

will not come on. 

•  These  batteries  are  for  clock  operation  and  alarm  memory  during  power 

interruption. You can not listen to the radio/iPod using battery power.

When to Replace the Batteries

To check the batteries’ condition, unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet and 
plug it in again after a few minutes. If the displayed time is incorrect, replace the 
batteries with new ones.

Warning:

•  Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the 

same or equivalent type.

•  Be sure to install the batteries before unplugging the AC adapter.
•  When the unit is going to be left unplugged for a long time, remove the batteries 

to avoid undue battery discharge and unit damage from battery leakage.

•  Do not dispose of battery in a fire; battery may explode or leak. 
•  Do not mix old and new batteries.
•  Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable (NICKEL-

CADMIUM) batteries.

CaUTiOn

: When discarding batteries, environmental problems must be considered 

and local rules or laws governing the disposal of these batteries must be strictly 
followed.

Using the aC adapter

This AC adapter operates on AC 120V ~ 60Hz.
