Battery back-up operation • This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered with a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included). The power failure protection circuit will not operate unless battery is installed. • When normal household power is interrupted, or AC line cord is unplugged, the batteries will power the clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into memory. • When the battery backup functions, the digital display will not light, however, the function of alarm still occurs during the power interruption if remaining battery power is adequate. • Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset the time or the alarm. To install the battery: 1. Remove battery compartment door (located at the bottom of the radio) by applying thumb pressure to the tab on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet. 2. Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) to the connector plug. 3. Replace the compartment door. Power failure indicator When AC power is interrupted (disconnected) for a short period of time, both time and alarm settings will change (unless batteries are installed). After AC power is restored (reconnected), the Digital Display will blink to indicate that power was interrupted and you should re-adjust the time and alarm settings. Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/ IEC 6LR61) battery is recommended. Carbon-zinc battery may be used but memory holding time will be substantially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 8 hours (if radio or alarm are not operated) which should take care of short, nuisancetype AC power failures. To preserve battery life, the unit should remain plugged into an AC outlet. As the battery gets older, its voltage drops and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the battery periodically. Battery should be removed if the unit will be stored for more than one month. Leaky battery can badly damage the clock radio.
