Battery Backup Installation
1. Gently turn the unit over and open the battery compartment door.
2. Install 2 AA batteries. We recommend using an alkaline battery for longest
dependable life. The battery will maintain the correct time in the event
of power failure or accidental line cord disconnection, even though the
display is darkened.
3. Close the battery compartment door, turn the unit right side up, and plug
in the AC cord.
Battery Backup System
The backup batteries will maintain the time and alarm settings in the event
of a temporary power interruption. If the power goes out, the CD, nature
sounds and radio will not play and no display visible but the clock will
continues to run. However, alarms will not be sound during power interruption.
If a power failure occurs and backup battery is not installed or dead, all settings will be lost. When the power is
restored the display will read “12:00” and continue to run.
Maintenance
1. Place the unit on a level surface away from direct sunlight or sources of excessive heat.
2. Protect your furniture when placing the unit on natural wood or wood with a lacquered finish. A cloth or other
protective material should be placed between the unit and the furniture.
3. Clean the casing with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Stronger cleaning agents, such
as thinner or similar materials, are not recommended as they may damage the surface of the case.
4. If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period, such as a month or longer, remove the batteries to prevent
possible corrosion. Should the battery compartment become corroded or dirty, clean the compartment
thoroughly and replace the battery.
