AM/FM Clock Radio with Digital Display

Connecting to AC Power

Plug the clock radio's power cord into a standard AC outlet.  If the back
up battery is dead or not installed, the display flashes 12:00 when the 
radio is first plugged in or when power is restored after an interruption.

Installing a Back-Up Battery

To keep the clock running during a power failure, install a 9-volt battery 
(not supplied).  For the best performance, we recommend a RadioShack 
alkaline battery.

To prevent unnecessarily running down the back-up battery, install the 
battery after you plug in the power cord.

The clock display does not light when AC power is off, but the backup 
battery keeps the clock and alarm setting for up to 8 hours and powers the 
alarm (buzzer or radio) for up to 10 minutes.

CAUTION:  Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recommended
          type.

Follow these steps to install the back-up battery.

1.  Press in the tab on the battery compartment cover and pull up on the
    cover to remove it.

2.  Snap the battery onto the wire terminals and place it in the
    compartment.

3.  Replace the cover.

When the display flashes, replace the battery and reset the clock.  (The 
display also flashes when power is restored after an interruption and the 
back-up battery is dead or not installed).

CAUTIONS:  Always remove an old or weak battery.  Batteries can leak
           chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

           Dispose of an old battery promptly and properly.  Do not burn
           or bury it.
