PREPARATION

Connecting to AC Power

Plug the clock’s power cord into a stan- dard AC outlet.

The display flashes when you first plug in the clock or when the power is inter- rupted and the back-up battery is weak or missing. When you set the time, the display stops flashing.

The backup battery only powers the clock (not the light).

Follow these steps to install the back- up battery.

1.Press the tab and remove the bat- tery compartment cover.

2.Snap the battery onto the termi- nals and place it inside the battery compartment.

3.Replace the cover.

Installing the Backup Battery

To keep the clock running during an AC power failure, install a 9-volt alka- line battery. We recommend Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-553.

Notes:

To prevent unnecessary battery drain, install the battery after you connect the radio to AC power.

If the BATTERY SENTINEL indi- cator lights after an AC power fail- ure, or when you press SNOOZE, the battery is too low to power the clock. Replace the battery and set the time.

OPERATION

Setting the Time

1.While holding down TIME, repeat- edly press (or press and hold down) HOUR until the clock dis- plays the correct hour.
