Replacing The Back Up Battery
The CR2032 back up battery that was supplied with your Timex alarm clock
should provide adequate back up power for up to 3 years or even longer,
depending on the frequency and duration of power outages in your home. When
it is time to change the battery the BATT LOW indicator begins flashing in the
lower right corner of the display. When you see the flashing indicator you should
purchase a new CR2032 battery as soon as practical.
Note: Leave the AC adapter connected to your outlet when changing the CR2032
battery to avoid having to reset the time and alarms.
Place the clock face down. Press the point of a pin or paperclip firmly into the hole
by the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit to release the cover.
Remove the old battery. Insert fresh battery making sure battery polarity matches
diagram (+ side facing up). In the event of a power failure, the backup battery will
maintain clock and alarm settings. Return the clock to the upright position and
confirm that the BATT LOW indicator has disappeared.
NOTE: Dispose of battery in accordance with local regulations.
Reset Switch
This alarm clock is equipped with a special circuit to protect it from permanent
damage in the event of an unexpected power surge. If you find that the clock
seems to be ‘locked’ and does not respond to any of the normal controls, you
probably experienced a power surge that activated the protection circuit.
To ‘unlock’ the clock and resume normal operation:
Insert a straightened paper-clip, toothpick, or similar device into the Reset hole
on the back panel to depress the Reset button. See illustration
Keep the Reset button depressed for 1-2 seconds until you see the clock display
return to the “12:00 PM” initial default setting, then release the Reset button.
Note: Resetting the clock completely erases the memory so it will be necessary
to reset the time, the wake up times, the snooze time and the nap time when
normal operation resumes.
Cleaning The Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dusty or smudged with fingerprints it may be wiped with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use
abrasive cleaners and never allow water or any other liquids to enter the cabinet.
