Plugging in for power

AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY: 120V~60Hz 

Battery back-up operation

•  This clock radio is equipped with 

a memory holding system that is 
powered with 2 “AA” batteries 
(included and installed). The power 
failure protection circuit will 
not operate unless batteries are 
installed. 

•  When normal household power 

is interrupted, or AC line cord 
is unplugged, the batteries will 
power the clock radio to keep 
track of time and alarm settings 
programmed into memory. 

•  When battery backup is operating 

during a power interruption, the 
clock display will not light, however 
the alarm will function at the set 
time as long as the 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.

Note: It is recommended to replace the 
batteries at least once per year even if 
no power failures have occurred.

To replace batteries:
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.  Insert 2 AA batteries (included).

3.  Replace the compartment door.

Power failure indicator

If back-up batteries have been removed 
or are too weak and AC power is 
disconnected for a short period of time,  
the time and alarm settings will be lost.
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.  

It is recommended to plug 
the unit for AC power while 
replacing batteries to avoid 
the loss of clock and wake time/
mode settings.

polarized (one blade is 
wider than the other) 
and only fi ts into AC 
power outlets one 
way. If the plug will 
not go into the outlet 

completely, turn the plug over and try 
to insert it the other way. If it still does 
not fi t, contact a qualifi ed electrician 
to change the outlet, or use a different 
one.  Do not attempt to bypass this 
safety feature.

Important battery

fi re, explosion, or chemical burn 
if abused. Do not try to charge a 
battery that is not intended to be 
recharged, do not incinerate, and 
do not puncture.
