Plugging in for power 

AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY: 120V~60Hz 

• The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets one way.
• If the plug will not go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert it the other way.
• If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one.
• Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.
• Power is fed to the unit even when it is not functioning. To cut the power supply off , the power cable must be unplugged.

Battery back-up operation
• This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered with 2 “AA” batteries (included).
• The power failure protection circuit will not operate unless battery is installed.
• When normal household power is interrupted, or AC line cord is unplugged, the batteries will power the clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into memory.
• When the battery backup functions, the digital display will not light, however, the function of alarm still occurs during the power interruption if remaining battery power is adequate.
• Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset the time or the alarm.

To install the batteries:
1. Remove battery compartment door (located at the bottom of the radio) by applying thumb pressure to the tab on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet.

2. Insert 2 AA batteries (included).

3. Replace the compartment door.

Note: we recommend that you replace the batteries every year.

Power failure indicator
When AC power is interrupted (disconnected) for a short period of time, both time and alarm settings will change (unless battery is installed). After AC power is restored (reconnected), the Digital Display will blink to indicate that power was interrupted and you should readjust the time and alarm settings.

Important Battery precautions
• Any battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, or chemical burn if abused. Do not try to charge a battery that is not intended to be recharged, do not incinerate, and do not puncture.
• Non-rechargeable batteries, such as alkaline batteries, may leak if left in your product for a long period of time. Remove the batteries from the product if you are not going to use it for a month or more.
• If your product uses more than one battery, do not mix types and make sure they are inserted correctly. Mixing types or inserting incorrectly may cause them to leak.
• Discard any leaky or deformed battery immediately. They may cause skin burns or other personal injury.
• Please help to protect the environment by recycling or disposing of batteries according to federal, state, and local regulations.
