Installing The Back Up Batteries

This system includes a battery back up circuit that will maintain the clock, calendar, and alarm time settings and the preset tuner memories in the event of a temporary power interruption. The battery back up circuit requires 2 “AAA” or UM-4 batteries, not included. We recommend that you install a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance. While it is not absolutely necessary to install the back up batteries it is strongly recommended. If you do not install the back up batteries it will be necessary to reset the clock, the alarm settings and the preset tuner memories each time the system is unplugged, or whenever you have an unexpected power interruption in your home.

NOTE: The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the cabinet. Before turning the unit upside down to install the back up batteries we suggest that you place a towel or similar padding under the unit to avoid scratching the finish on the top panel when the unit is upside down.

With the unit turned upside down on a soft padded surface, open the battery compartment by pressing the battery cover locking tab in the direction of the arrow and lifting the battery compartment cover upward.

Install 2 “AAA” batteries in the battery compartment according to the polarity markings engraved in the compartment.

If the batteries are inserted incorrectly the battery back up system cannot function.

After installing the batteries replace the battery compartment cover and make sure that it is firmly locked in place.
