Battery Backup Operation

EN U.S. Time Zone (Figure 1)

This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered with 2 “AAA” batteries (included). The power failure protection circuit will not operate unless battery is installed.

When normal household power is interrupted, or AC line cord is unplugged, the batteries will power the Spacemaker to keep track of time and timer setting programmed into memory. When the battery backup functions, the digital display will not light. Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset the time.

Power Failure Indicator

The display blinks when AC power is interrupted for more than 2 seconds. You need to reset the clock time to stop the display from blink.

Installing Back up Battery:

1.The compartment door is located at the side of the Spacemaker.

Rotate the lock in the direction of the arrow until it is released. Remove the compartment door.

2.Before inserting the batteries, observe the polarities (that is, + and -) of the batteries, then relate the polarities to the engraved diagram inside the battery compartment. Now insert the batteries.

3.Replace the battery compartment door. Lock

the door in place by pushing down on the lock and rotating it in the opposite direction (counterclockwise).
