many hours of reliable service and listening
pleasure.

Features
•Full power back-up function to keep the clock,
the alarm (radio and buzzer) and the radio
operating during a power interruption, using a
6F22 battery (not supplied).
Installing the Battery
To keep good time, your Dream Machine needs
one 6F22 battery (not supplied), in addition to
house current. The battery keeps the clock
operating in the event of a power interruption.
Before setting the time on your Dream Machine,
open the lid at the bottom of the unit, install the
battery with correct polarity and then close the
lid.
•After a power interruption, the displayed time
may not be always correct (it may gain or lose
about 10 minutes per hour).
Knowing When to Replace the
Battery
•To check battery power, unplug the AC power
cord from the wall outlet and plug it in again
after a few minutes. If the displayed time is
incorrect, replace the battery with a new one.
