Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/
IEC 6LR61) battery is 
recommended. Carbon-zinc 
battery may be used but memory 
holding time will be substantially 
reduced. Memory holding time 
for a fresh alkaline battery is 
approximately 8 hours (if alarm 
is not operated) which should 
take care of short, nuisance-type 
AC power failures. To preserve 
battery life, the unit should remain 
plugged into an AC outlet. As the 
battery gets older, its voltage drops 
and memory may be lost. Be sure 
to replace the battery periodically. 
Battery should be removed if the 
unit will be stored for more than 
one month. Leaky battery can 
badly damage the clock radio.
