The Clock Display will illuminate and "12:00" will blink in the window. NOTE: If the AC plug does not fit into a AC Outlet nonpolarized outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade. If the AC cord is disconnected or if there is a AC Plug power failure, this electronic clock is designed to continue operating internally (without showing the time on the Clock Display) with a 9 volt battery (not included). To install the battery, remove the battery compartment cover by pressing in on the tab, then connect the battery to the terminals of the battery snap inside the compartment (use of an alkaline battery is recommended). Replace the battery compartment cover. '8 Be sure to check the condition of the battery periodically by disconnecting the AC cord and connecting it again 2 or 3 minutes later. The preset times should continue operating. If the present time does not appear, it indicates the battery is dead or not connected properly. The 9 volt battery will keep the internal times accurately for approximately 30 minutes. If the power is restored after 30 minutes, the times may need to be reset. BATTERY PRECAUTIONS Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device: 1. Use only the size and type of batteries specified. 2.
