CONNECTING TO AC POWER

Plug the alarm clock’s power cord into a standard AC outlet. The display flashes 12:00 until you set the time (see “Setting the Time” on Page 3).

INSTALLING A BACKUP BATTERY

Your alarm clock has a back-up power system that operates the clock and alarm during a power failure. The dis- play turns off, but the clock keeps run- ning for at least 8 hours (depending on battery strength), and the alarm sounds at the alarm time.

The Battery Sentinel indicator, a small red dot at the bottom right of the dis- play, appears if the battery is not in- stalled or needs to be replaced.

Your alarm clock requires a 9-volt bat- tery (not supplied) for its back-up pow- er system. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend an al- kaline battery, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.

Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recommended type.

Note: To prevent unnecessary drain on the battery, install it only after con- necting the alarm clock to AC power.

1.Push the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow and lift off the cover.

2.Snap the alarm clock’s battery contacts onto the battery termi- nals, then put the battery into the compartment. The Battery Senti- nel indicator turns off.

3.Replace the cover and slide it in the opposite direction to snap it into place.

Replace the battery when the Battery Sentinel indicator lights.

Warning: Always dispose of an old battery promptly and properly.
