Chan ging The Lithium Batt ery
Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A
num ber of f acto rs, such as, the len gth of t ime betw een the date the rad io w as
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
su pplying power to the Sma rtSet com puter me mory. Once you plug the radio in,
your household outlet supplies 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.
Wh en the battery po wer drops belo w a ce rtain level , the LOW BAT T.
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.) Pu rchase a replace ment 3V lithium battery wherever batteri es are s old . The
battery type is CR2032 or equivalent.
2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.
IMPORTANT: Leave the AC ad apter connected to your AC outlet.
Thi s wi ll p rovi de p ower to the Smar tSet co mput er m emor y wh ile the orig inal
lithium battery is removed.
3.) Turn the radio face up and use a small screw driver 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 LOW BATT indicator is 'Off'.
7.) Sav e th ese inst ruct ions . Yo u'll hav e to do this aga in f ive to e ight yea rs f rom

WARNING: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED.
REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
Rese tting The Clock After A Total Memo ry Loss
If you do not chan ge the b uilt in lithium battery within a reasona ble peri od of time
after you see the warning indicator, the lithium battery may become exhausted
and w i ll no l o nger b e able t o supply b ack up p ower t o the Sm a r tSet i nternal
computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after the battery is exhausted,
or if a po wer inte rruption occurs, the Sma rtSet memory w ill be l ost and the cloc k
wi ll need to be re set when the pow er is re stored. Be sure to insta ll a fre sh lithi um
ba ttery be fore you reset t he clock , otherw ise the clock wi ll need to be re set each
time the power is interrupted.
If the lith ium batt ery is e xhau sted and you exp erie nce an i nter rupt ion in t he AC
power supply, the clock will reset itself to its initial default setting when the power is
restored.
