Installation and Maintenance Installation 1. Remove the unit and all packing materials from the carton.You should save the packing materials in case unit needs to be returned for service. If you do not wish to save the materials, please dispose of them properly. 2. Place the unit on a stable, level surface, close to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of dust, dirt, heat, water, moisture, vibration, and strong magnetic fields. "Sure Alarm" Battery Backup Installation The Battery Low Indicator flashes when there is not enough power to run the backup. It is recommended that 3 "AA" batteries be installed into the unit, as directed below, to activate the "Sure Alarm" battery backup feature. In the event that the AC power cord is disconnected or a power failure or other interruption occurs, the "Sure Alarm" system will maintain clock and alarm settings for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarm will sound at the set time (Note: while operating on battery power, all set alarms will sound as a buzzer). When power is restored, the clock will cease using battery power, and will again operate on AC power. 1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the battery compartment door. 2. Install 3 "AA" batteries (alkaline batteries are recommended for longer life) into the battery ᕅ ᕃ compartment, making sure that the + and - polarities match up with the diagram printed inside the ᕄ compartment. Note: Do not replace batteries without AC power plugged in, otherwise you will lose the clock settings. 3. Close the battery compartment door and tighten the screw. Gently return the clock radio to its upright position. Battery Compartment Maintenance 1. Place the unit on a level surface away from sources of direct sunlight or excessive heat. 2. Protect your furniture when placing your unit on a natural wood and lacquered finish. A cloth or other protective material should be placed between it and the furniture. 3. Clean your unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Stronger cleaning agents, such as Benzine, thinner or similar materials can mar the surface of the case. 4. If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period, such as a month or longer, remove the batteries to prevent possible corrosion. Should the battery compartment become corroded or dirty, clean the compartment thoroughly and replace the batteries.
