Battery Back Up
This unit has a battery back up system that will maintain the time and alarm settings
in the event of a temporary power interruption. The battery back up system requires
one 9-Volt battery, not included. We suggest using only a well known brand of
alkaline battery for longest life and best performance
The back up battery compartment is located on the back of the cabinet.
Press down on the tab to open and remove the battery door. Attach the 9V battery
to the battery terminal strap (it can only be attached one way), insert the battery
into the battery compartment, and replace the battery door.
If the power is interrupted the clock display will go off, but the back up battery will
maintain both the time and the alarm settings in memory. When power is restored
the display will come on again and the time and alarm settings will be correct.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local
codes for possible special disposal instructions.
Power Failure Indicator
If the power is interrupted and the battery is exhausted, or there is no battery in the
compartment, the time and alarm settings will be lost. When power is restored the
display will start flashing “12:00 AM”. This is your indication that the time display is
incorrect and needs to be reset.
IMPORTANT:
After resetting the time display make sure that you also recheck and adjust the
wake up time as well.
