FEATURES
Your RadioShack Projection Clock combines a simple
design with advanced technology. You can set the clock
so it projects the current time on a wall or the ceiling for
easy nighttime viewing. Its features include:
Adjustable Projection Light — lets you project the time
on any location on a wall or ceiling. This lets you easily
see the time at night.
Large Liquid Crystal Display — makes the clock easy
to read. The current time and alarm time, the time zone
you are in, and the date and day of the week appear on
the display.
Crescendo Alarm — the alarm sounds a series of beeps
that gradually increase in volume.
Snooze Control — temporarily silences the alarm for
about 8 minutes so you can sleep a little longer.
Display Backlight — lets you see all information on the
display even when it is dark.
Supplied AC Adapter — lets you power the clock’s pro-
jection light to help extend battery life.
Three Languages — let you view the day of the week in
English, French, or Spanish.

PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your clock requires two AA batteries (not supplied) for
power. For the best performance and longest life, we rec-
ommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and rec-
ommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of
batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction
of the arrow to remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated
by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

default time zone) appears above the zone indicator.
Note: The clock is preset to display the day of the
week in English. To set the clock to display in another
language, see “Setting the Clock” on Page 7.
3. Replace the cover.
When BATT appears or the clock stops operating proper-
ly, replace the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the clock for a month
or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemi-
cals that can destroy electronic parts.
CONNECTING TO AC POWER
Your clock comes with an AC adapter so you can operate
the clock’s projector light continuously from AC power.

Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source
that supplies 3 volts DC and delivers at least
200 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive
and its plug must fit the clock's DC 3V jack. The supplied
adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter
that does not meet these specifications could damage
the clock or the adapter.
Follow these steps to connect the AC adapter to the
clock.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction
of the arrow to remove it.
2. Plug the AC adapter’s tip into the jack inside the bat-
tery compartment.
3. Route the adapter’s cord through the slot marked DC
3V on the back of the clock.
4. Replace the cover.
5. Plug the AC adapter’s other end into a standard AC
outlet.
