PREPARATION
CONNECTING TO AC
POWER
Plug the clock radio’s power cord into a
standard AC outlet. The display turns on
and the BATTERY SENTINEL indicator
lights. (See “Installing Back-Up Batteries.”)
Caution:
The clock radio’s AC power cord
is equipped with a polarized plug to pre-
vent electric shock. One blade on the
cord’s plug is wider than the other and the
plug only fits an outlet one way. If you can-
not easily insert the plug, turn it over and
try again. Do not force it.
INSTALLING BACK-UP
BATTERIES
To keep the clock running for up to 8 hours
during an AC power failure, install three
AA batteries (not supplied) in the battery
compartment. For the longest life, we rec-
ommend alkaline batteries.
Caution:
Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended type.
Note:
To prevent unnecessary drain on
the battery, connect AC power
then
install
the batteries.
Follow these steps to install back-up bat-
teries.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover
in the direction of the arrow and
remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compart-
ment and on top of the attached rib-
bon, as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked in the com-
partment.
3. Replace the cover.
The BATTERY SENTINEL indicator lights
if the back-up batteries are not installed or
need to be replaced.
Warning:
Always dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn
them.
