Installing The Batteries; Preparation For Use - Timex T231 User Manual

Preparation For Use

Battery Back-up System
Your new Timex Clock Radio includes a battery back up system that will maintain the time and alarm
settings during a temporary power interruption. The battery back up system requires two "AAA" batteries,
not included. We recommend you use a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best
performance. If you experience a power failure while batteries are installed, the display will turn 'off' but the
clock will continue to run and maintain your alarm settings. When power is restored the display will turn
'on' again and the time and alarm settings will be correct.

Installing The Batteries

Press
• Press on the battery door locking tab to open and remove the battery door.
• Install two "AAA" batteries in the battery compartment. Observe the polarity (+/ - ) markings in the battery
compartment to make sure the batteries are inserted correctly.
• Replace the battery door.
Protect Your Furniture
This clock radio has two silicon rubber feet on the bottom cabinet to prevent the radio from sliding and to
avoid scratching your furniture. These rubber feet are designed not to leave marks on furniture. However
the use of certain furniture polishes could cause the rubber feet to soften and stick to your furniture. If this
radio is going to be placed on fine, highly polished wooden furniture, you should place small self-adhesive
felt pads on the rubber feet, or place a cloth between the radio and the surface of the furniture.
AC Power Plug
This model is equipped with a polarized AC power plug that has one wide blade and one narrow blade.
This plug will only fit in a polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature designed to prevent electric shock. Do
not try to defeat this safety feature by filing the wider blade or using an adapter to make this plug fit in a
non-polarized outlet. If this plug will not fit in your outlet you should have your outlet changed by a qualified
electrician.
