Installing/Replacing the Clock Backup Battery
Note: The CR2032 lithium battery is included in the unit. Please pull out the battery pull tab before you use the unit. This model is equipped with a battery backup circuit that will maintain the time and alarm time settings, as well as the radio station preset memory settings and EQ settings in the event of a temporary power interruption. The battery backup circuit will also operate the buzzer alarm to wake you up even if the power is out at the selected wake up time. The battery backup circuit requires one CR2032 lithium battery, included.
When the backup battery is getting weak the Low Backup Battery Indicator will begin flashing in the display. When you see this flashing indicator you should replace the backup battery as soon as possible. Purchase a replacement CR2032 battery, available wherever batteries are sold, and follow steps 1 through 4 below to install the replacement battery.
