PREPARATION
CONNECTING POWER
To operate the clock, plug the power cord into a standard AC outlet. The
display flashes 12:00 until you set the time (see “Setting the Time” on
Page 6).
INSTALLING A BACKUP BATTERY
If AC power fails, your clock uses an internal 9-volt backup battery (not
supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we rec-
ommend a RadioShack alkaline battery.
Warning: Always dispose of an old battery promptly and properly. Do
not bury or burn it
Caution: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommend-
ed type.
Follow these steps to install the battery.
.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow
and lift off the cover

2. Snap the battery into the terminals and place it inside the compart-
ment. Observe the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside the
compartment and on the terminals.
3. Replace the cover.
When BATTERY SENTINEL lights, or the display flashes after AC pow-
er is restored, replace the battery.
Caution: Always remove an old or weak battery. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Note: The backup battery operates the clock and alarm for up to eight
hours. To conserve battery power the display does not light when AC
power fails. If the backup battery has enough power when the AC power
is restored, the clock's time will still be accurate.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack 0.9 Inch LED Alarm Clock is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you
care for your alarm clock so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the alarm clock dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immedi-
ately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the
electronic circuits.
Use and store the alarm clock only in normal temperature
environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life
of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the alarm clock away from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the alarm clock gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the alarm
clock to work improperly.
Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recom-
mended type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage
your alarm clock’s electronic parts.
Wipe the alarm clock with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning
solvents, or strong detergents to clean the alarm clock.
Modifying or tampering with the alarm clock’s internal components can
cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your alarm
clock is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.
