Hamilton Beach HCR329 Clock Radio User Manual

This clock radio features an optional battery back-up to retain
the correct time setting in the event of a power failure or when
disconnected temporarily from an outlet. The clock display will not be
lit and the radio/alarm functions will not operate while the power is
interrupted however, the time and alarm settings will be maintained
in memory. Once power is restored, the display will show the correct
time and the radio and alarm functions will operate normally.
To prevent leakage and possible damage to the unit, the battery
should be replaced when it no longer retains the time during a power
failure (the clock display will flash to indicate that the time needs to
be reset).
1. Remove the battery cover on the bottom of the clock radio.
2. Connect a fresh alkaline 9-volt (006P) battery (not included) to the
terminals inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover and set the time as described in “How
to Set the Clock.”
