BATTERY INSTALLATION:

The alarm clock uses an AC adaptor (included) and 3 (three) AA batteries (not included).

The battery power is designed only to provide MEMORY BACK-UP for the clock and alarm settings. Three AA batteries (not included) should be inserted following the polarity marked in the battery compartment if memory back-up is desired (in the event of power outages or if the unit is unplugged). However, the time will not be illuminated on the clock display. As soon as the power supply returns, the display will indicate the correct time.

NOTE: Battery must be installed in order for clock memory back-up to operate. In the event of a power failure or disconnection, if the battery is not installed, the clock and alarm will need to be re-set when power is restored.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS:

Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
When installing batteries, observe proper +/- polarities. Incorrect installation of battery may cause damage to the unit.
Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g., alkaline with carbon-zinc or old batteries with new ones).
If the unit is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove batteries to prevent damage due to possible battery leakage.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may explode or leak.
