Replacing and Installing Clock Backup Batteries
Note: 2 AA batteries are included with the unit. Install them before using the unit.
This model is equipped with a battery backup circuit that will maintain the time and
alarm time settings in the event of a temporary power interruption (the display is NOT

weak the Low Backup Battery Indicator will begin flashing in the display. When you see
this flashing indicator you should replace the backup batteries as soon as possible. Note:
We recommend alkaline batteries for best performance.
