weak, the brightness of characters in the display
darkens. If the battery runs out during the interruption,
the current time and alarm functions will be
initialized.

Replace the battery with a Sony CR2032 lithium
battery. Use of another battery may present a risk of
fire or explosion.

Keep the AC plug connected to the AC
outlet, remove the screw that secures the
battery compartment at the bottom of the
