- This unit has a battery backup system which keeps certain vital information saved in its internal
memory in case of power outage (i.e. blackout or AC cord accidentally becomes unplugged).
- To enable this battery backup feature, please insert 2 “AA” type batteries into the battery backup
compartment which is located under the main unit.
- These batteries will last for several months, and must be replaced periodically to maintain the backup
function.
- During a power outage, the battery backup system will save the time and programmed radio stations
into its memory, so that when the AC power is resumed, the unit does not need to be re-programmed.
- Please note that the unit itself cannot be operated on battery backup power during power outage.
- The battery backup has a limited duration during a power outage. If the AC power remains off for long
periods at a time, the battery backup system may not be able to keep the saved information in memory as
the batteries themselves are limited in their life. For this reason, it is recommended to use good quality
alkaline batteries, and to replace them periodically.
- When you are not using the unit for long periods, or if the unit will remain unplugged for many weeks,
it is recommended to remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage.
- This unit is designed to be used on a desk (shelf or table) with or without the supplied pedestal, or as
a wall mounted unit.
- Please refer to the separate section entitled: “System Setup Procedure” for the method of installing
the pedestal or wall mounting bracket.
- Always position the unit away from direct sunlight or heaters and air-conditioning vents.
- Always position the unit with adequate ventilation at the rear and sides. Never block the ventilation
holes of the unit.
