Getting Started

Install/Replace Backup Batteries

If Backup Batteries are installed and a power failure occurs or the AC cord is accidentally disconnected, the current time
and radio preset station settings will be temporarily maintained. Otherwise, you must reset the time and radio preset station
settings.
Three backup batteries are installed in the unit before shipping to keep the clock running. If the unit has no display or the
Battery Low Icon (located on the right of the display) is on, replace backup batteries.

1. Please make sure the AC cord is connected; otherwise all settings may be lost

during battery replacement.

2. Open the battery compartment cover (located on the bottom of the unit).
3. Insert 3 “AA” batteries. Make sure the + and – ends of the batteries match the

drawing inside the battery compartment. We recommend the use of alkaline
batteries for longer life. Different types of batteries, or new and used batteries, are
not to be mixed.

4. Close the compartment cover.

NOTE:

When operating on battery backup, certain functions (time zone, clock

adjust, DST switch) are disabled. Though the colon in the time display does not

flash, the clock will work properly.
Batteries information:

•

Do not mix old and new batteries.

•

Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable batteries.

Install/Replace the Remote Control Batteries

The remote control batteries are already installed at the factory. When the remote
control stops operating or its range seems reduced, it is time to replace them.
1. Open the battery compartment cover (located on the bottom of the remote control

unit.

2. Insert 2 “AAA” batteries. Make sure the + and – ends of the batteries match the

drawing inside the battery compartment. We recommend the use of alkaline
batteries for longer life. Different types of batteries, or new and used batteries, are
not to be mixed.

3. Close the compartment cover.
