Before you begin
Plugging in for power
Insert the plug of the unit into an AC power outlet.
Refer to the “Clock” section and follow the instructions to get the clock time shown correctly with the Auto Clock set feature.
Battery back-up operation
This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered with 9V battery. 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 clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into memory. When the battery backup functions, the digital display will not light, however, the function of alarm still occurs during the power interruption if remaining battery power is adequate. Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset the time or the alarm.
To install or replace the batteries:
1.Remove battery compartment door (located at the bottom of the radio) by applying thumb pressure to the tab on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet.
2.Insert or replace a 9V battery (not included).
3.Replace the compartment door.
•It is recommended to plug the unit for AC power while replacing batteries to avoid the loss of clock and wake time/mode settings.
Power failure indicator
When AC power is interrupted (disconnected) for a short period of time, both time and alarm settings will change (unless batteries are installed). After AC power is restored (reconnected), the Digital Display
Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/ 
IEC 6LR61) battery is 
recommended.
