corresponding wake mode
indicator will fl ash until the
wake function is turned off. The
indicator will then stop fl ashing
and keep lighting up.
• When the AC power is
disconnected, all wake mode will
be reverted to alarm tone.
Plugging in for power
• AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY:
120V~60Hz
• The AC power plug is
polarized (one blade is
wider than the other)
and only fi ts into AC
power outlets one way.
If the plug will not go
into the outlet completely, turn the
plug over and try to insert it the
other way. If it still does not fi t,
contact a qualifi ed electrician to
change the outlet, or use a different
one. Do not attempt to bypass this
safety feature.
• Power is fed to the unit even when
it is not functioning. To cut the
power supply off, the power cable
must be unplugged.
Battery back-up operation
The power failure protection circuit will
not operate unless battery is installed.
No worry battery backup
• When the battery backup functions,
the digital display will not light,
however, the wake function
still occurs during the power
interruption if remaining battery
power is adequate.
• Normal operation will resume after
AC power is restored so you will not
have to reset the time or wake.
Install battery as follow:
1. Remove battery compartment door
(located at the bottom of the radio)
by applying thumb pressure to the
tab on battery door and then lift
the door out and off the cabinet.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery (not
supplied) to the connector plug.
3. Replace the compartment door.
Power failure indicator
• When AC power is interrupted
(disconnected) for a short period
of time, both time and alarm
settings will change (unless battery
is installed). After AC power is
restored (reconnected), the Digital
Display will blink to indicate that
power was interrupted and you
should readjust the time and alarm
settings.
Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/
IEC 6LR61) battery is
recommended. Carbon-zinc
battery may be used but memory
holding time will be substantially
reduced. Memory holding time
for a fresh alkaline battery is
approximately 8 hours (if radio
or alarm are not operated) which
should take care of short, nuisance-
type AC power failures. To preserve
battery life, the unit should remain
plugged into an AC outlet. As the
battery gets older, its voltage drops
and memory may be lost. Be sure
to replace the battery periodically.
Battery should be removed if the
unit will be stored for more than
one month. Leaky battery can badly
damage the clock radio.
