"No WORRY"BATTERYBACKUP
This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered
with acustomer-installed g-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
battery will power the clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings pro-
grammed into memory. When on battery power, the digital display will not light;
however, should WAKE TiME occur during the power interruption, the radio will
operate or the alarm will sound if remaining battery power is adequate. Normal
operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset time
or alarm.
Install battery as follows:
1, Remove battery compartment door (located on the back of the radio) by
applying thumb pressure to area indicated on battery door and then lift the door
out and off the cabinet.
2, Connect a 9-volt battery to battery connector plug.
3. Insert battery in compartment and replace compartment door,
NOTE: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A) batteries are recommended. Carbon-zinc
(NEDA 1604) batteries may be used but memory holding time will be substan-
tially reduced. Memory holding dine for a fresh alkaline battery isapproxi-
mately ,_hours (if radio or alarm are not operated), which should take care of
short, nuisance-type AC power failures. To preserve battery life, the radio
should remain plugged into an AC outlet. As batteries get older, their voltage
drops and memory may be lost. l_e sure to replace the battery periodically.
Battery should be removed if the radio will be stored for more than one day.
Leaky batteries can badly damage the clock radio.
POWERFAILUREINDICATOR
When AC power is interrupted (disconnected) for a short period both time and
alarm settings will change (unless optional battery is installed}. After A¢ power is
restored (reconnected) the Digital Display will blink to indicate that power was
interrupted and you must readjust the TIME and ALARM settings. To stop display
from blinking, press the HOUR or MIN button.

BUILT-IN AFC
The Built-In Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) works only on FM. It helps to
reduce drift on FM reception and to keep the radio locked in on the FM station to
which it is tuned.
When tuning in FM stations, you may notice that often the station you desire can
be heard on two or three nearby points on the dial. Always tune carefully to the
loudest and clearest point.
A.N'W24NAS
AM Antenna - A built-in ferrite rod antenna eliminates the need for an outside
antenna for AM reception. Rotating the unit slightly may improve reception of
distant AM stations.
FM Antenna - The power cord acts as your FM antenna. The power cord picks up
moderate to strong stations and eliminates the need for an external antenna in
most strong signal areas. Be sure the power cord is stretched out to its full length.
Do not coil or bunch the cord together. Changing position of the power cord may
improve reception.
