Preparation

CONNECTING TO AC POWER

Plug the clock radio’s power cord into a standard AC outlet. As

soon as you connect AC power, the display turns on and BAT-

TERY SENTINEL on the front of the clock radio lights.

Caution:

The clock radio’s AC power cord is equipped with a

polarized plug to prevent electric shock. One blade on the

cord’s plug is wider than the other and the plug only fits an out-

let one way. If you cannot easily insert the plug, turn it over and

try again. Do not force it.

INSTALLING A BACKUP BATTERY

To keep the clock running for up to 8 hours and the alarm

sounding for up to 10 minutes during an AC power failure, in-

stall a 9-volt battery (not supplied) in the battery compartment.

For the longest life, we recommend a RadioShack alkaline bat-

tery.

Caution:

Use only a fresh battery of the required size and rec-

ommended type.

Notes:

• BATTERY SENTINEL on the front of the clock radio lights if

there is either no battery installed or the installed battery

requires replacement.

• To prevent unnecessary drain on the battery, plug in the AC

power cord then install the battery.
