INSTALLATION

Unravel the AC cord and connect it to a conveniently located AC outlet having 120V

and 60Hz only. The Clock Display will illuminate and “12:00” will appear in the window.

NOTE: If the AC plug does not fit into a nonpolarized outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade.

If the AC cord is disconnected or if there is a

power failure, this electronic clock is designed to continue operating internally (without showing the time on the Clock Display) with a 9 volt battery (not included). To install the battery, connect the battery to the terminals of the battery snap inside the compartment (use of an alkaline battery is recommended).

Be sure to check the condition of the battery periodically by disconnecting the AC

cord and connecting it again 2 or 3 minutes later. The

 

preset times should continue operating. If the present

 

time does not appear, it indicates the battery is dead

 

or not connected properly. The 9 volt battery will keep

9V

the internal times accurately for approximately 30

 

minutes. If the power is restored after 30 minutes, the times may need to be reset.
