Before You Begin

The iSoundSpa Max uses a backup battery system to provide continuous
alarm settings in the event of a power failure. Two "AA" batteries (included)
must be inserted into the battery compartment if memory back-up is
desired. When the backup batteries are installed: In the event of power
outages or if the DC cord is accidentally disconnected, the LCD display
will not be illuminated, but the current time and alarm settings will be
temporarily maintained. As soon as the power supply returns, the LCD
display will indicate the correct time.

Getting Started

hour digit will begin flashing. Turn the SET +/- KNOB until the current

Install/Replace Backup Battery

1. Make sure the DC adaptor is connected. Otherwise the time setting
may be lost during battery replacement.
2. Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit.
3. Insert two "AA" batteries, checking that the positive polarity follows the
direction of the instructions inside the battery compartment.
4. Close the compartment cover.
Note: Batteries must be installed in order for time & alarm 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.
