INSTALLING THE BACK-UP BATTERY The radio automatically switches to battery power if AC power fails. We recommend an alkaline 9-volt battery, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-553. 1. Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the tab in the direction of the arrow and lifting off the cover. 2. Snap the battery into the connector. 3. Place the battery in its compartment and replace the cover. NOTES: Remove the battery if you do not plan to use the radio for a week or more. A weak battery can leak chemicals and damage the radio. If your radio's batteries become weak, your radio might not sound a tone when an emergency or test alert is broadcast. Test your radio's reception periodically and replace the batteries if the tone does not sound. Do not use rechargeable batteries in the radio. (cd 10/17/95)
