INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your clock comes with two 357A button-cell

four AA batteries (not supplied) to power its
other functions. For the best performance and
longest life, we recommend RadioShack alka-
line batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, differ-
ent types of batteries (alkaline, or
