Install Clock Backup Battery

The iHM46 uses a CR2032 button cell battery (included with instructions) to keep alarm and clock settings in the event of a power failure and 4 “AA” batteries, not included, for portable operation. If the Backup Battery has been installed and a power failure occurs or the AC adaptor is accidentally disconnected, the display backlight will not remain lit, but the current time and alarm time settings will be temporarily maintained. Otherwise, you must reset the time and alarm settings. If 4 “AA” batteries are installed, the alarm will operate when the unit is not connected to the AC adaptor.

1. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected. Otherwise, all settings may be lost during battery replacement.
2. Open and remove the battery compartment door located at the bottom of the unit.
3. Pinch the backup battery release tab and pull the backup battery holder free.
4. Insert the included CR2032 button cell battery with the + side facing upwards.
5. Replace the backup battery holder in the unit, then replace the battery compartment door.

Notes:

• Make sure you dispose of the battery properly (see your local regulations).
• Buttons will not function if only a backup battery is installed.
• Replace the CR2032 battery when you see the Low Battery indicator flashing in the display.
