Sure Alarm Battery Backup Installation, Maintenance

“Sure Alarm” Battery Backup Installation

It is strongly recommended that a 9-Volt battery be installed into the unit, as directed below, in order to activate this product’s “Sure Alarm” Battery Backup feature. In the event that the AC power cord is disconnected or a power failure or other interruption occurs, the “Sure Alarm” Battery Backup will maintain clock and alarm settings for the life of the battery, ensuring that the alarm (buzzer only) will sound at the set time. During any interruptions the clock display will be blank, but time and alarm settings will be saved and automatically restored when AC power is again active.

Note: The Snooze button will not operate if the alarm goes off during a power failure.

To install the battery:

1.Open the battery compartment cover.

2.Install one 9-Volt battery (alkaline is recommended for longer life), making sure that the large terminal matches to the large outlet.

After installing the battery and reading the Maintenance notes, plug the AC power cord into an outlet, being sure to match the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot of the outlet. Never force the plug into an outlet. When the unit is connected

to AC power for the first time, the display may blink until the time is set.

Battery Compartment

Note: You should replace the battery every six months, or after any extended power outage that could drain the battery power.

Maintenance

1.Place the unit on a level surface away from direct sunlight or sources of excessive heat.

2.Protect your furniture when placing the unit on natural wood or wood with a lacquered finish. A cloth or other protective material should be placed between the unit and the furniture.

3.Clean the casing with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Stronger cleaning agents, such as thinner, benzine, or similar materials are not recommended, as they may damage the surface of the case.

4.If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period, such as a month or longer, remove the batteries to prevent possible corrosion. Should the battery compartment become corroded or dirty, clean the compartment thoroughly and replace all the batteries.
