CONNECTING TO AC POWER
Plug the clock radio’s power cord into a standard AC outlet. As
soon as you connect AC power, the display turns on and BAT-
TERY SENTINEL on the front of the clock radio lights.
Caution:
The clock radio’s AC power cord is equipped with a
polarized plug to prevent electric shock. One blade on the
cord’s plug is wider than the other and the plug only fits an out-
let one way. If you cannot easily insert the plug, turn it over and
try again. Do not force it.
INSTALLING A BACKUP BATTERY
To keep the clock running for up to 8 hours and the alarm
sounding for up to 10 minutes during an AC power failure, in-
stall a 9-volt battery (not supplied) in the battery compartment.
For the longest life, we recommend a RadioShack alkaline bat-
tery.
Caution:
Use only a fresh battery of the required size and rec-
ommended type.
Notes:
BATTERY SENTINEL on the front of the clock radio lights if
there is either no battery installed or the installed battery
requires replacement.
To prevent unnecessary drain on the battery, plug in the AC
power cord then install the battery.
