About Intelli-Time®
- 3 - - 2 -
Your new alarm clock is equipped with Intelli-Time technology which is
pre-programmed with the correct time and date. Intellitime instructs the clock to
self set itself once batteries are installed. The Intelli-Time feature requires an
internal memory battery to operate correctly. This battery is located in the
Intelli-Time memory battery compartment on the bottom of the clock and is
pre-installed at the factory. We suggest replacement of the backup battery every 5
years. We recommend the replacement of the backup battery in 1-2 years if the
unit is not powered on for a long period of time. Do not replace the memory battery
unless the clock is plugged in and the display is operating with the correct time.
After plugging in the clock, the clock will be set to the proper time for the default
time zone. Next, you will need to select your time zone for the clock to display
your correct time. The time zone selection switch is located on the bottom of the
alarm clock.
Another preference which may need to be set depending on your location is
Daylight Saving Time (DST). Certain areas do not observe DST, and you may need
to disable the DST setting (OFF). The DST selection switch is located on the
bottom of the alarm clock.
Plug the AC power cord into a 110v AC power outlet.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use this plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or any other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent
blade exposure.
WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the alarm clock to rain
or moisture.

inernal memory battery is allowed to go dead, you may set the time and date
