Care and Maintenance
Replacing The Back Up Batteries / Power Failure
Good quality alkaline batteries should last for at least one year under normal conditions. When you decide to change the batteries, leave the clock radio connected to the AC outlet to avoid having to reset the time, alarm times, and radio preset station memories.
If you experience a power failure and the back up batteries are exhausted, the display will begin flashing when the power is restored. If you notice the flashing display you should first remove the exhausted batteries, install fresh batteries, and then reset the time, alarm times, and preset station memories as described in this manual.
Cleaning The Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe with a soft, dry dust cloth. Never spray the cabinet with furniture dusting sprays. If the cabinet becomes dirty or smudged with fingerprints, wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Never allow water or any other liquid to enter the cabinet.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this unit. To avoid the potential for electric shock never open the cabinet yourself. Refer all service problems to a qualified service technician at a factory authorized service center. Consult your warranty for more details.
