POWER SOURCE

This unit is designed to operate on 120V ~ 60Hz AC house current. Operating this unit on any other power source may cause damage to the unit, and such damage is not covered by your warranty.

It is also equipped with a battery back-up system for the clock that is powered by an optional 9V 006P battery (type 6F22 or equivalent) – not included.

BATTERY BACK – UP SYSTEM

The Battery Back-up System ensures the clock and alarm settings will be retained during a power interruption or power outage (in order to preserve the battery life the Display will not light). All clock settings will be kept in memory, however, the clock time may require adjustment for exact accuracy once the power returns. If a battery is not installed, the Display will blink “12:00” when the power is restored. This will indicate that you have to reset the time and alarm settings.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

Note: For optimum performance an alkaline-type battery is recommended.

1.Open the battery compartment door on the bottom of the cabinet then connect one DC 9V battery to the Battery Clip located inside.

Note: The battery clip only fits one way to ensure the correct polarity.

2.Replace the Battery Compartment Door.

IMPORTANT: Be sure that the battery is installed correctly. Wrong polarity may damage the unit.

POWER FAILURE INDICATOR

If there is no battery installed in the unit or the battery installed is weak or dead, the time and alarm settings will be lost if the power is interrupted. When the AC power is restored the display will flash “12:00”. This indicates that the time displayed is incorrect and needs to be reset.
