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 Radio Shack's Enercell Extra Life battery (Cat.
No. 23-583) for best performance.

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

        The clock display does not light while operating from battery
        back-up power, but the clock and alarm are operational 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 BATTERY SENTINEL indicator lights.

Follow these steps to install the back-up battery.

1.  Slide off the battery cover on the bottom of the clock/radio.

2.  Install the battery.

3.  Replace the cover.

TESTING THE BATTERY

The BATTERY SENTINEL indicator lights automatically if battery power
is low, or the battery is not installed.

To test the battery, press SNOOZE.  If the BATTERY SENTINEL indicator
lights, replace the battery.
