Important battery precautions

• Any battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, or chemical burn if abused. Do not try to charge a battery that is not intended to be recharged, do not incinerate, and do not puncture.
• Non-rechargeable batteries, such as alkaline batteries, may leak if left in your product for a long period of time. Remove the batteries from the product if you are not going to use it for a month or more.
• If your product uses more than one battery, do not mix types and make sure they are inserted correctly. Mixing types or inserting incorrectly may cause them to leak.
• Discard any leaky or deformed battery immediately.
  They may cause skin burns or other personal injury.
• Please help to protect the environment by recycling or disposing of batteries according to federal, state, and local regulations.

WARNING: The battery (battery or batteries or battery pack) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

Ecology

Help protect the environment - we recommend that you dispose of used batteries by putting them into specially designed receptacles.

Before you begin

Plugging in for power

- Connect the power cord to a convenient wall outlet.

- Once connected with power, the clock fl ashes. Refer to the Clock section for instructions on properly setting the Clock.

Battery back-up operation

- This clock is equipped with a timekeeping system that can be powered with a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included). The power failure protection circuit will not operate unless battery is installed.

- When normal household power is interrupted, the battery will power the clock to keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into memory.

- When the battery backup functions, the digital display will not light, however, the function of alarm still occurs during the power interruption if remaining battery power is adequate.

- Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset the time or the alarm.

To install the battery:

1. Remove battery compartment door (located at the back of the clock) by applying thumb pressure to the tab on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet.

1. Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) to the connector plug.

2. Replace the compartment door.

3. 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.

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 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. Battery should be removed if the unit will be stored for more than one month. A leaky battery can badly damage unit.
