Install/Replace Backup Battery

The iH5 uses a backup battery system to provide continuous alarm operation and clock settings in the event of a power
failure. If the Backup Battery has been installed and a power failure occurs or the AC cord is accidentally disconnected,
the display will not remain lit, but the current time and alarm time settings will be temporarily maintained. Otherwise, you
must reset the time and alarm settings.
Two backup batteries are already installed prior to shipping to keep the clock running. If the unit has no display or the
Battery Low Icon located on the left of the display is flashing, it is time to replace the backup batteries.
1. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected. Otherwise all settings may be lost
during battery replacement.
2. Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit.
3. Insert 2 "AA" batteries, checking that the polarity ( + and – ends of the batteries) matches
the drawing inside the battery compartment. We recommend the use of alkaline batteries
for longer life. Different types of batteries or new and used batteries are not to be mixed.
4. Close the compartment cover.
Batteries information:
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon -zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
Install/Replace the Remote Control Battery (Remote Control included
with iH5R and iH5RC models only)
The remote control battery is already installed in the factory. When the remote control stops
operating or its range seems reduced, it is time to replace it with a new one.
1. The battery door is located on the back end of the unit.
2. Squeeze and pull to release the battery door latch and take out the battery holder.
3. Insert a "CR2032" 3-volt lithium battery. Make sure the polarity (the + and – side of the
battery) is correct.
4. Replace the battery holder back in the remote control.
NOTE: PLEASE DISCARD BATTERIES PROPERLY
Maintenance
Place the unit on a level surface away from sources of direct sunlight or excessive heat.
Protect your furniture when placing your unit on a natural wood and lacquered finish. A cloth or other protective material
should be placed between it and the furniture.
Clean your unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Stronger cleaning agents, such as Benzine,
thinner or similar materials can damage the surface of the unit.
