Changing The Lithium Battery
Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A number of
factors, such as, the length of time between the date the radio was manufactured and the date
you plugged it in for the first time determine the amount of time before replacement. During this
initial storage period, the lithium battery is supplying power to the SmartSet
® computer memory.
Once you plug the radio in, your household outlet supplied the power, and the battery is not being
used. A fresh lithium battery can supply power to the SmartSet
® computer for at least 2 years
even if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your clock radio was connected to your AC
supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and you experience only the normal,
nuisance type, short duration power interruptions, your battery may last for up to 5 years or even
longer.
When the battery power drops below a certain level, the LED dot of BATTERY LOW indicator
will ‘flash’. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as it is convenient
for you to do so. To change the battery proceed as follows:
1. Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold. The battery type is
CR2032 or equipment.
2. Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.
IMPORTANT: Leave the radio AC power cord connected to your AC outlet. This will provide
power to the SmartSet
® computer memory while the original lithium battery is removed.
3. Turn the radio face up and use a small screwdriver to remove the screw securing the battery
holder to the cabinet.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THIS SMALL SCREW!
4. Remove the original battery from the holder and insert the new battery into the holder the
same way, observing the positive (+) direction. Slide the holder with the new battery back into
the slot in the cabinet.
5. Replace the screw that secures the battery holder in the cabinet.
6. Turn the radio right side up and confirm that the
7. Save these instructions.
WARNING: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED.
REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
If the lithium battery is exhausted and you experience an interruption in the AC power supply, the
clock will reset itself to it initial default setting when the power is resorted.
The initial default setting is “12:00AM, January 1 st (1.1), 2008”.
If you notice that the time on your SmartSet ® clock radio is
completely incorrect, press the MONTH/DATE button to see the
date.
If the date display is showing “1.1” (January First), you probably experienced a total memory loss.
To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows:
1. Follow the instructions on page 11 and install a new CR2032 lithium battery in the battery
compartment.
2. Connect the radio to your AC outlet and let the clock set itself.
3. Press the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons together. The display will change from ‘Time’ to
‘Year’.
While holding the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons, press the SET + button to set the display
to the correct year, then release these buttons.
4. Press the MONTH/DATE button. The display will change from ‘Time’ to ‘Month/Date’ (MM/DD).
While holding the MONTH/DATE button, press the SET + button to set the display to the
correct Month and Date. When the correct Month and Date appear on the display, release
these buttons.
5. While holding the TIME button, press the SET + button to set the display to the correct Time.
Be sure to confirm that you have set the time correctly to ‘AM’ or ‘PM’ by observing the AM
indicator.
6. After you set the Time, reconfirm that the Day, and Month/Date displays are still correct. Make
final adjustments if necessary.
The SmartSet ® clock memory is now.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
After resetting the clock, don’t forget to reset your wake up times, and sleep timer settings as well.

Resetting The Clock After A Total Memory Loss
If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time after you see the
warning indicator, the lithium battery may become exhausted and will no longer be able to
supply back up power to the SmartSet ® internal computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC
outlet after the battery is exhausted, or if a power interruption occurs, the SmartSet ® memory will
be lost and the clock will need to be reset the clock, otherwise the clock will need to be reset each
time the power is interrupted.
