Your RadioShack Traveling Recording
Picture Frame/Alarm Clock combines a
clock with a recorder that uses the latest
IC (memory) recording technology to
record sounds without tape or moving
parts. You can easily see the time, and
you can record an important message as
well. At a time you set, you can have the
recorder play the message automatically.
The IC lets you record a new message as
many times as you like.
The clock includes these features.
Large Display — lets you easily see the
time and alarm settings.
Built-In Photo Frame — holds a favorite
picture.
10-Second Solid-State Recorder —
records and plays a single message as an
alarm or memo.
Clock Alarm — alerts you with a repeat-
ing series of four beeps, or announces the
prerecorded message.
Compact Size — makes it handy to pack
or carry wherever you go.

Insulation Strips
Your picture frame/alarm clock comes
equipped with four type 357A button-cell
batteries already installed. However, be-
fore you can use the clock, you must re-

CARE
To enjoy your Traveling Recording Picture
Frame/Alarm Clock for a long time:
• Keep the clock dry. If it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately.
• Use and store the clock only in normal
temperature environments.
• Handle the clock gently and carefully.
Don't drop it.
• Keep the clock away from dust and dirt.
• Wipe the clock with a damp cloth occa-
sionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the clock's in-
ternal components can cause a malfunction
and invalidate its warranty. If your clock is
not performing as it should, take it to your
local RadioShack store for assistance.
REPLACING THE
BATTERIES
Your alarm clock uses four type 357A but-
ton-cell batteries (supplied) for power.
When the recorded sound weakens, re-
place the batteries. (For the best results,
use button-cell batteries available from your
local RadioShack store.) The recorder
keeps the last message recorded in memo-
ry while you change batteries.
Follow these steps to replace the batteries.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove
the screw from the battery compart-
ment cover, then slide the cover off.
2. Use the tip of a pencil or other non-
metallic sharp object to remove the bat-
teries. Then insert four fresh batteries
in the compartment with their positive
(+) side up.
3. Replace the cover and secure it with
the screw.
Warnings:
• Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury
them.
• Keep button-cell batteries away from
children. Swallowing a button-cell
battery can be fatal.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or
different types of batteries.
• Always remove old or weak batter-
ies. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
