Important safeguards

- The instruction manual contains important operating and maintenance instructions. For your safety, it is necessary to refer the manual. Keep the manual for use in future.

• Do not hit or drop the unit.
• Do not expose the unit to vibration, direct sunlight, too high or low temperature or humidity.
• If you are not going to use the unit within a long period of time, remove the batteries to avoid their leakage.

Power supply

Battery operation

- Insert 1 x 3 V lithium battery CR2032 (not included) to the terminal inside the battery compartment according to the polarity marks (+ and -). Your set will not work normally from the battery supply, but there is now the advantage that, in case there is a mains current failure, your clock will continue to work. The clock display will not light up, the clock time and alarm setting will be held in the clock memory by the battery back-up system.

This enables you to move the set from place to place without re-setting the clock every time. The

battery back-up system is only meant to be used from short temporary power failures. For longer durations the battery may become exhausted or there may be some deviation in accuracy.

- When the battery is exhausted, it should be removed from the set to prevent leakage. If you do not wish to take advantage of the battery back-up system, your set will work normally without a battery. However, if disconnected from the mains, the clock figures will flash when the mains are reconnected and you must re-set the clock.
