Battery Back-Up Operation
This clock radio is equipped with a
memory holding system that can be
powered with a 9-volt battery (not
included). The power failure protection
circuit will not operate unless battery is
installed.
When normal household power is
interrupted, or AC line cord is
unplugged, the back-up battery will
power the clock radio to keep track of
time and alarm settings programmed
into memory. When the battery
backup functions, the function of alarm
still occurs during the power
interruption if remaining battery power
is adequate. Normal operation will
resume after AC power is restored so
you will not have to reset the time or
the alarm. With battery back-up, if
Wake to Radio or Wake to CD is
activated during power interuption,
Wake to Tone will operate instead.
Wake mode will operate normally
again once power is resumed.
Power Failure Indicator
When AC power is interrupted
(disconnected) for a short period of
time, both time and alarm settings will
change (unless optional battery is
installed). After AC power is restored
(reconnected), the Digital Display will
blink to indicate that power was
interrupted and you should readjust the
time and alarm settings.

Note:
Alkaline (6LR61/NEDA 1604A)
batteries are recommended.
Carbon-zinc battery may be used
but memory holding time will be
substantially reduced. Memory
holding time for a fresh alkaline
battery is approximately 8 hours
(if radio or alarm are not
operated) which should take care
of short, nuisance-type AC power
failures. To preserve battery life,
the unit should remain plugged into
an AC outlet. As the battery gets
older, its voltage drops and
memory may be lost. Be sure to
replace the battery periodically.
Battery should be removed if the
unit will be stored for more than
one month. Leaky battery can badly
damage the clock radio.
Install battery as follow:
1. Remove battery compartment door
(located at the bottom of the radio)
by applying thumb pressure to the
tab on battery door and then lift the
door out and off the cabinet.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery to the
connector plug.
3. Replace the compartment door.
