Before You Begin
Thank you for choosing the Sony Dream Machine!
The Dream Machine will give you many hours of
reliable service and listening pleasure.
Before operating the Dream Machine, please read
these instructions thoroughly and retain them for
future reference.
Features
• 0.9 inch big green LED

the alarm (radio and buzzer) during a power
interruption, using a 6F22 battery (not supplied).

Installing the
Battery
To keep good time, your Dream Machine needs one
6F22 battery (not supplied), in addition to house
current. The battery keeps the clock operating in the
event of a power interruption. Before setting the time
on your Dream Machine, open the lid at the bottom of
the unit, install the battery with correct polarity and
then close the lid.
• After a power interruption, the displayed time may
not always be correct (it may gain or lose about 10
minutes per hour).
Knowing When to Replace the
Battery
To check battery power, unplug the AC power cord
from the wall outlet and plug it in again after a few
minutes. If the displayed time is incorrect, replace the
battery with a new one.
Battery Warning
When the unit will be left unplugged for a long time,
remove the battery to avoid undue battery discharge
and damage to the unit from battery leakage.
