Power source

Backup battery

To keep accurate time, this unit uses (2) "AAA" batteries (sold separately) for clock backup. These batteries keep the clock operating in the event of a power interruption.

Replacing the Battery

1. Open the battery door by pushing in on the tabs, then removing the door.
2. Insert two (2) "AAA" batteries following the correct polarity indicated in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery door back on the compartment.

Notes: The batteries are used to backup the clock and alarm times when the AC adaptor is disconnected or there is a power failure. Alkaline batteries are recommended for the longest backup time.
When replacing the battery, do not disconnect the AC power adapter otherwise the current time, alarm, and station presets will be erased.

When to replace the battery

The battery indicator will illuminate on the display when there are no batteries or when the batteries are low.
