Installing The Back Up Batteries
This system includes a battery back up circuit that will maintain the clock and alarm
time settings in the event of a temporary power interruption. The battery back up
circuit requires 2 “AAA” or UM-4 batteries, not included. We recommend that you
install a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.
While it is not absolutely necessary to install the back up batteries it is strongly
recommended. If you do not install the back up batteries it will be necessary to reset
the clock and the alarm settings each time the system is unplugged, or whenever you
have an unexpected power interruption in your home.
After installing the batteries replace the battery compartment cover and make sure
that it is firmly locked in place.
Install 2 “AAA” batteries in the battery compartment
according to the polarity markings engraved in the
compartment. If the batteries are inserted incorrectly
the battery back up system cannot function.
Open the battery compartment by pushing the battery
cover locking tab in the direction of the arrow and lifting
the battery compartment cover downward.
CAUTION
DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED.
REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
Power Source
This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only.
Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system
and such damage is not covered by your warranty.
NOTE: The system has polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade.
The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.
This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility
of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your
AC outlets, you probably have an outdated non-
polarized outlet. You should have your outdated
outlet changed by a qualified, licensed
electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the
plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit
into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature
and could expose you to electric shock.
NOTE: The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the cabinet. Before
turning the unit upside down to install the back up batteries we suggest that you place
a towel or similar padding under the unit to avoid scratching the finish on the top panel
when the unit is upside down.
