INSTALLING A BACK-UP BATTERY

Your clock radio has a back-up power system that operates the clock and alarm during a power failure. The dis- play turns off, but the clock keeps run- ning for at least 8 hours (depending on battery strength), and the alarm sounds at the alarm time for at least 10 minutes.

The Battery Sentinel indicator, a small red dot at the bottom right of the dis- play, appears if the battery is not in- stalled or needs to be replaced.

Your clock radio requires a 9-volt bat- tery (not supplied) for its back-up pow- er system. For the best performance, we recommend an alkaline battery, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.

Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recommended type.

Note: To prevent unnecessary drain on the battery, install it only after con- necting the clock radio to AC power.

1.Lift the battery compartment latch in the direction of the arrow and pull off the cover.

2.Snap the clock radio’s battery contacts onto the battery termi- nals, then insert the battery into the compartment. The Battery Sentinel indicator turns off.

3.Replace the cover.

Caution: Do not leave an old or weak battery in the clock radio. Batteries can leak and damage the clock’s electronic parts.

Warning: Always dispose of an old battery promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn it.
