INSTALLATION
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE
SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
Unravel the AC cord and connect it to a conve-
niently located AC outlet having 120V and
60Hz only. The Clock Display will illuminate
and “12:00” will appear in the window.
NOTE: If the AC plug does not fit into a nonpo-
larized outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade.
If the AC cord is disconnected or if there is a power failure, this electronic clock is
designed to continue operating internally (without showing the time on the Clock
Display) with a 9 volt battery (not included). To install the battery, remove the bat-
tery compartment cover by pressing in on the tab, connect the battery to the termi-
nals of the battery snap inside the compartment (use of an alkaline battery is rec-
ommended), then replace battery compartment cover.
Be sure to check the condition of the battery periodi-
cally by disconnecting the AC cord and connecting it
again 2 or 3 minutes later. The preset times should
continue operating. If the present time does not
appear, it indicates the battery is dead or not connect-
ed properly. The 9 volt battery will keep the internal
times accurately for approximately 30 minutes. If the
power is restored after 30 minutes, the times may need to be reset.
