Installation and Maintenance
Maintenance and Setup
1. Place the clock on a level surface away from direct sunlight or sources of excessive heat.
2. Protect your furniture when placing the clock on natural wood or wood with a coated finish. A cloth or other
protective material should be placed between the unit and the furniture.
3. Clean the casing with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Stronger cleaning agents are
not recommended, as they may damage the surface of the case.
4. If the clock is not to be used for a prolonged period, such as a month or longer, remove the batteries to
prevent possible corrosion. Should the battery compartment become corroded or dirty, clean the compartment
thoroughly and replace all the batteries.
Battery Backup Installation
It is recommended that a “9-Volt” battery be installed in order to activate the Battery Backup. In the event that
the AC power cord is disconnected or a power failure or other interruption occurs, the Battery Backup will
maintain clock and alarm settings for the life of the battery, ensuring that the alarm will sound when power is
restored. During interruptions the settings will be saved and automatically restored when power is again active.
1. Gently turn the unit over and remove the battery compartment door.
2. Install a “9-Volt” battery (alkaline is recommended for longer life), matching the terminal ends with the same-
sized connectors of the terminal harness.
3. Slide the compartment door back on, making sure the door locks into place, and gently turn the unit over.
4. The display’s Battery Low Indicator will flash when no battery is installed, or when the battery is weak or
installed incorrectly.
