POWER SOURCE
This unit is designed to operate on 120V/60Hz AC house current. Operating
this unit from any other power source may cause damage to the unit, and
such damage is not covered by your warranty.
The radio is also pre-loaded with 2 x “AA” batteries for the battery back-up
and for the Auto Time Set clock system.
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 the batteries are 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.
