Maintenance and Setup
1. Place the clock 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 coated 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 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 all the batteries.
“Sure Alarm” Battery Backup Installation
It is strongly recommended that 3 “AAA” batteries be installed into the unit, as directed below, in order to activate
the “Sure Alarm” Battery Backup. In the event that the power cord is disconnected or a power interruption
occurs, the “Sure Alarm” Battery Backup will maintain clock and alarm settings for the life of the battery, ensuring
that the alarm (buzzer only) will sound at the set time. Note: the backlight will not function while on battery power.
1. Gently turn the unit over and remove the battery compartment door.
2. Install 3 "AAA" batteries (alkaline is recommended for longer life), while making sure that the + and – ends
match up with those inside the battery compartment.
3. Slide the compartment door back on, making sure the door locks into place, and gently turn the unit over.
The display’s Battery Low Indicator will flash when no batteries are installed, or when the batteries are weak
or installed incorrectly.
