3.Load a new battery, making sure that its positive (+) and negative (–) ends are facing correctly.

•Loading a battery incorrectly can cause it to burst and damage the clock.

4.Replace the cover.

•Place the battery cover onto the clock so its mark is initially aligned with OPEN. Next, rotate the cover so the mark moves from OPEN to CLOSE.

• The battery cover can fall off or water can get into the clock if the cover’s mark is not pointed at CLOSE.

•Dirt or dust on the battery compartment gasket can allow water to get into the clock. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the gasket clean before replacing the battery cover.

Battery precautions

•Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If a battery is accidentally swallowed, contact your physician immediately.

•Be sure to load the battery with its positive (+) and negative (–) ends facing correctly.

•Never charge the battery that comes with the clock.

•Should a battery ever leak while in the clock, wipe out the fluid with a cloth, taking care not to let any get onto your skin.

•Replace the battery at least once a year, even if the current battery is working normally.

•The battery that comes with the clock loses some power during transport and storage.
