Installing the
Battery
To keep good time, your Dream Machine needs one

current. The battery keeps the clock operating in the
event of a power interruption.
Before setting the time on your Dream Machine, open
the lid at the bottom of the unit, install the battery with
correct polarity and then close the lid.
•After a power interruption, the displayed time may
not always be correct (it may gain or lose
about 10 minutes per hour).
Knowing When to Replace the
Battery
To check battery power, unplug the AC power cord
from the wall outlet and plug it in again after a few
minutes. If the displayed time is incorrect, replace the
battery with a new one.
Battery Warning
When the unit will be left unplugged for a long time,
remove the battery to avoid undue battery discharge
and damage to the unit from battery leakage.
Precautions

heat build-up. Do not place the unit on a surface (a
rug, a blanket, etc.) or near materials (a curtain)
which might block the ventilation holes.
