The lightning flash with arrowhead in an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the

user of the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure

that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of

the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

literature accompanying the appliance.

The symbols above are located at the bottom of the cabinet.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension

cord receptacle or other outlets unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent

blade exposure.

A Consumer Guide to Product Safety

When used in the directed manner, this unit has been designed and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. However, improper use can result in

potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all safety and operating instructions carefully before installation and use, and keep these instructions

handy for future reference. Take special note of all warnings listed in these instructions and on the unit.

1. Water and Moisture – The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming

pool or in a wet basement.

2. Ventilation – The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not

be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in a built-in installation, such

as a bookcase or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

3. Heat – The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that

produce heat.

4. Power Sources – The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the

appliance itself.

5. Grounding or Polarization – This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).

As a safety feature this plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the

plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of your polarized plug by forcing the

plug into the outlet.

6. Power-Cord Protection – Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or

against them. It is always best to have a clear area from where the cord exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC outlet.

7. Cleaning – The unit should be cleaned only as recommended. See the Maintenance section of this manual for cleaning instructions.

8. Objects and Liquid Entry – Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into any openings or vents located on

the product.

9. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer.

10. Lightning and Power Surge Protection – Unplug the unit from the wall outlet during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended and

unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

11. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in fire or electric shock.

12. Damage Requiring Service – The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. the power supply cord or plug has been damaged.

B. objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.

C. the unit has been exposed to rain.

D. the unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

E. the unit exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.

13. Antenna – Do not connect an external antenna to the unit.

14. Periods of Nonuse – If the unit is to be left unused for an extended period of time, such as a month or longer, the power cord should be unplugged

from the unit to prevent damage or corrosion.

15. Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond those methods described in the user’s operating instructions. Service methods

not covered in the operating instructions should be referred to qualified service personnel.

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.

For the Best Battery Performance

• We recommend using alkaline batteries.

• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

• Remove rechargeable batteries (if removable) from the clock before charging.

• Rechargeable batteries are only to be recharged under adult supervision.

• Do not mix different types of batteries, including new and used batteries.

• Only use batteries of the same or equivalent type.

• Remove exhausted batteries from the clock.

• Do not short-circuit the supply terminals.
