INSTALLING A BACK-UP
BATTERY
Note: If the BATTERY SENTINEL
indicator remains lit, press SNOOZE
to reset the indicator. If that does not
work, replace the back-up battery.
Your clock radio uses a 9V battery (not
supplied) to operate the clock and alarm
during a power failure. The display turns
off, but the clock keeps the time for at
least 8 hours, and the alarm will sound
(if set) for at least 10 minutes after pow-
er fails. For the best performance, we
recommend an alkaline battery, such as
RadioShack Cat. No. 23-553.
3. Replace the cover.
The BATTERY SENTINEL indicator
lights if the back-up battery is not in-
stalled or needs to be replaced.
Warning: Always dispose of old batter-
ies promptly and properly. Do not bury
or burn them.
Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the
required size and recommended type.
Note: To prevent unnecessary drain on
the battery, install it only after connect-
ing the clock radio to AC power.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To enjoy your clock radio for a long time:
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
• Keep the clock radio dry. If it gets
wet, wipe it dry immediately.
KNOW
Your clock radio might cause TV or ra-
dio interference even when it is operat-
ing properly. To determine whether your
clock radio is causing the interference,
turn off your clock radio. If the interfer-
ence goes away, your clock radio is
causing the interference. Try to elimi-
nate the interference by:
• Use and store the clock radio only in
normal temperature environments.
• Handle the clock radio gently and
carefully. Don’t drop it.
• Keep the clock radio away from dust
and dirt.
• Wipe the clock radio with a damp
cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new.
• moving your clock radio away from
the TV or another radio
• connecting your clock radio to an
outlet that is on a different electrical
circuit from the TV or another radio
Modifying or tampering with the clock ra-
dio’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and invalidate its warranty.
If your clock radio is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack
store for assistance.
• contacting your local RadioShack
store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference,
the FCC requires that you stop using the
clock radio.
