Battery back-up operation
• This clock radio is equipped with
a memory holding system that can
be powered with 2 “AA” batteries
(included). The power failure
protection circuit will not operate
unless battery is installed.
• When normal household power
is interrupted, or AC line cord
is unplugged, the batteries will
power the clock radio to keep
track of time and alarm settings
programmed into memory.
• When the battery backup functions,
the digital display will not light,
however, the function of alarm
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 the alarm.
To install batteries:
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.
FCC Information
Note: This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
2. Insert 2 AA batteries (included).
3. Replace the compartment door.
Note: we recommend that you replace
the batteries every year.
Power failure indicator
When AC power is interrupted
(disconnected) for a short period of
time, both time and alarm settings
will change (unless batteries are
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.
Power is fed to the unit even
when it is not functioning. To
cut the power supply off, the
