If AC power fails, the clock radio has a
backup power system that continues to
operate the clock for up to 8 hours with
the display turned off to conserve
power. This lets the alarm sound for at
least 10 minutes at the preset time,
even if AC power fails.
Your clock radio requires a 9-volt
battery (not supplied) for its backup
power system. For the best
performance and longest life, we
recommend a RadioShack alkaline
battery. Rý.
