For Your Safety
The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets one way. If the
plug will not go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over
and try to insert it the other
way. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

Battery Back-Up Operation
This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered with 2 “AA” batteries (included and installed). 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.
Replace batteries as follow:
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 2 AA batteries.
3.Replace the compartment door.
Note: we recommend that you replace the batteries every
Note:
Power is fed to the unit even when it is not functioning. To cut the power supply off, the power
cable must be unplugged.
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 will blink to indicate that power was interrupted and you should readjust the time and alarm settings.
