GETTING STARTED

Installing the AC Adapter

Locate the AC adapter jack on the back of the unit. Insert the AC adapter cable into this jack, and then plug the AC adapter into the wall outlet.

Installing the Backup Battery for Clock and Alarm Settings

In order to offer consistent clock settings and alarm functions, i277 uses a backup battery system. This means that despite the occurrence of a power failure,

all the settings of i277 will remain saved. For example, after the installation of the Backup Battery, if for some reason the AC cord is disconnected or a power

failure does occur, the display will not remain lit, but the current time and alarm time settings will be temporarily maintained. Otherwise, you must reset the

time and alarm settings. To install Backup Battery, follow the instructions below:

1. First, make sure the connection between the AC adapter and the unit is secure. This is important because during battery replacement it is possible for

all settings to be lost if you already set the clock time and alarm time.

2. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit and open.

3. Insert 2 “AA” batteries, following the correct polarity that matches the drawings inside the battery compartment. For longer battery life, it is suggested to

use alkaline batteries. Please note that various types of new and used batteries should not be mixed. Alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable

(nickel-cadmium) batteries should also not be used together.

4. Secure the battery compartment by closing the cover.

YOU CAN HELP TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT!

Please remember to respect the local regulations: Hand in the non-working electrical equipment to an appropriate waste disposal center.

FOR BATTERY
