CONNECTING TO AC POWER

Plug the clock radio's power cord into a standard AC outlet.  The display
flashes.

INSTALLING THE BACK-UP BATTERY

To keep the clock running during an AC power failure, install a 9-volt
battery.  We recommend an alkaline battery such as Radio Shack Cat. No.
23-553 for the best performance.

NOTES:  To prevent unnecessary drain in the back-up battery, install the
        battery after you plug in the AC power cord.

        The clock's display does not light while operating from battery
        back-up power, but the clock and alarm operates for up to 8 hours.

        A prolonged power failure can drain the battery.  If the display
        flashes after an AC power failure, the battery is too low to
        run the clock.  Replace the battery and reset the clock.

        Replace the battery when the display flashes after a power failure
        or at least every 6 months.

Follow these steps to install the back-up battery.

1.  Press the tab and lift off the battery compartment cover on the bottom
    of the clock radio.

2.  Snap the battery onto the battery contacts.

3.  Replace the cover.
