Operation-
The
sure
time
battery
back-up
is
designed
to
hold
the
present
time
and
the
alarm
time
in
the
memory
in
the
event
of
a
power
failure
or
interruption.
(Such
as
when
moving
this
unit
to
a
different
room.)
Whenever
a
power
interruption
occurs,
the
digits
on
the
clock
display
will
disappear.
However,
even
though
the
clock
face
is
completely
blacked
out,
the
9-volt
back-up
battery
will
take
over
as
the
power
source
and
the
present
time
and
the
alarm
time
will
be
preserved.
Notes-
When
the
set
is
unplugged
(not
in
use)
for
a
long
time,
remove
the
back-up
battery
to
prevent
possible
battery
leakage.
Power
failures
may
occur
at
any
time
of
the
night
or
day
and
can
be
of
a
long
or
short
duration.
Most
failures
are
so
short
that
people
don’t
even
notice
the
interruption.
These
inter¬
ruptions
do,
however,
affect
clocks
which
do
not
incorporate
a
battery
back-up.
If
the
power
is
not
resumed
by
the
wake-up
time,
the
radio
alarm
will
not
activate.
Even
if
the
power
is
not
resumed
by
the
wake-up
time,
the
buzzer
alarm
will
acti¬
vate.
If
the
back-up
battery
goes
dead
during
a
power
interruption,
the
present
time
and
alarm
time
must
also
be
reset
after
the
interruption.
The
back-up
battery
will
be
exhausted
after
about
14
hours
of
total
(accumulative)
use.
(The
battery
life
will
vary
depending
on
the
frequency
of
the
power
interrup¬
tion.)
After
a
power
interruption,
the
time
shown
in
the
display
window
may
not
be
always
correct
(it
may
gain
or
lose
about
six
minutes
per
hour).

should
be
avoided.
Do
not
unplug
the

used
for
a
long
period
of
time,
remove
