INSTALLATION
Unravel the AC cord and connect it to a
conveniently 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
nonpolarized 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, connect the battery to the terminals of the battery
snap inside the compartment (use of an alkaline battery is recommended).
Be sure to check the condition of the battery periodically 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 connected 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.
