Operation - Panasonic RC6099 Operating Instructions Manual

Operation
The
sure time
battery
back-up
is
designed
to
hold the present time
and
the
alarm time
in
the
memory
in
the
event
of
a power
failure
or
interruption.
(Such as
when
moving
this unit to
a
different
room.)
Whenever
a
power
interruption
occurs, the
digits
on
the clock display
will
disappear.
However, even though
the
clocl^
face
is
completely blacked
out,
the 9-volt
back-up
battery
will
take over
as the
power
source
and
the present time
and
the alarm time
will
be
presen/ed.
Even
if
the
power
is
not
resumed
by
the
wake-up
time,
the buzzer alarm
will acti-
vate.
Notes
When
the set
is
unplugged
(not
in
use)
for
a
long
time,
remove
the
back-up
battery to
prevent possible battery leakage.
Power
failures
may
occur
at
any
time
of
the
night or
day and can be
of
a
long or short
duration.
Most
failures
are
so
short
that
people
don't
even
notice the
interruption.
These
inter-
ruptions do,
however,
affect
clocks
which
do
not incorporate
a
battery
back-up.
If
the
power
is
not
resumed by
the
wake-up
time, the radio
alanm
will
not
activate.
If
the
back-up
battery
goes dead
during a
power
interruption,
the present time
and
alarm
time
must
also
be
reset
after
the
intemjption.
The
back-up
battery
will
be
exhausted
after
about
1
4 hours
of
total
(accumulative)
use, (The
battery
life will
vary
depending
on
the
frequency
of the
power
interrup-
tion.)
After
a power
interruption, the time
shown
in
the display
window
may
not
be always
conrect
(It
may
gain or lose
about
six
minutes per
hour).
