To remove the clock radio from the
bracket, unplug it first. Then slowly
slide out the clock radio.
INSTALLING THE
BACKUP BATTERY
To keep the clock running during an
AC power failure, install a 9-volt back-
up battery (not supplied). We recom-
mend a RadioShack alkaline battery.
If the AC power fails, the clock display
disappears, but the clock keeps oper-
ating. If the countdown timer is run-
ning, a beep sounds to warn you that
the countdown time has been inter-
rupted, and the
APPLIANCE OFF/ON
times that control the appliance outlet
are saved for at least 8 hours.
Follow these steps to install a backup
battery.
Note: Before you install the backup
battery, plug in the power cord to pre-
vent unnecessary drain on the battery.
1. Slide the battery compartment
cover in the direction of the arrow,
then lift off the cover to remove it.
2. Snap the battery into the termi-
nals and place it in the compart-
ment.
Caution: Use only a fresh battery
of the required size and type.
3. Replace the cover.
Notes:
• As a safety feature, the appliance
outlet is not activated after a
power failure. After power is
restored, press
APPLIANCE ON
to
use the appliance outlet at any
time, or press
APPLIANCE AUTO
to use the automatic timer with the
appliance outlet.
• If the display flashes after an AC
power failure, replace the battery
and reset the clock.
• Replace the battery when the
BATTERY SENTINEL indicator on
the right side of the display lights.
