PREPARATION
Connecting to AC Power
Plug the clock’s power cord into a stan-
dard AC outlet.
The display flashes when you first plug
in the clock or when the power is inter-
rupted and the back-up battery is weak
or missing. When you set the time, the
display stops flashing.
Installing the Backup Battery
To keep the clock running during an
AC power failure, install a 9-volt alka-
line battery. We recommend Radio
Shack Cat. No. 23-553.
Notes:
• To prevent unnecessary battery
drain, install the battery after you
connect the radio to AC power.
• If the BATTERY SENTINEL indi-
cator lights after an AC power fail-
ure, or when you press
SNOOZE ,
the battery is too low to power the
clock. Replace the battery and set
the time.
• The backup battery only powers
the clock (not the light).
Follow these steps to install the back-
up battery.
1. Press the tab and remove the bat-
tery compartment cover.
2. Snap the battery onto the termi-
nals and place it inside the battery
compartment.
3. Replace the cover.
OPERATION
Setting the Time
1. While holding down TIME , repeat-
edly press (or press and hold
down)

plays the correct hour.
