Before you begin
Plugging in for power
- Connect the power adapter to a convenient wall outlet.
- Once connected with power, the clock flashes. Refer to the Clock section for instructions on properly setting the Clock.
To install the batteries:
- Remove the battery compartment door (located at the bottom of the clock) by applying thumb pressure to the tab on the battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet.
- Insert 2 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment.
- Replace the compartment door.
Power failure indicator
If you have not installed the 9-volt alkaline battery in the product, or the battery runs out while power is interrupted, all the settings (clock and alarm) will be lost. After AC power is restored, the Digital Display will flash to indicate that power was interrupted and you should readjust the time settings. Note: It is recommended to replace the battery at least once per year even if no power failures have occurred.
An Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/IEC 6LR61) type battery is recommended. Carbon-zinc battery may be used but memory holding time will be substantially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 8 hours (if the alarm is not operated) which should take care of short, nuisance-type AC power failures. To preserve battery life, the unit should remain plugged into an AC outlet. As the battery gets older, its voltage drops, and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the battery periodically. The battery should be removed if the unit will be stored for more than one month. A leaky battery can badly damage the unit.
