Battery Back-Up Operation; Power Failure Indicator - GE 74853a User Manual

Battery Back-Up Operation

This clock radio is equipped with a memory
EN
holding system that can be powered with
2 AA batteries (included). The power fail-
ure protection circuit will not operate un-
less battery is installed.
When normal household power is inter-
rupted, or AC line cord is unplugged, the
batteries will power the clock radio to
keep track of time and alarm settings pro-
grammed into memory. When the battery
backup functions, the digital display will
not light, however, the function of alarm
still occurs during the power interruption
if remaining battery power is adequate.
Normal operation will resume after AC
power is restored so you will not have to
reset the time or the alarm.
Install battery as follows:
1. Remove battery compart-
ment door (located at the
bottom of the radio) by
applying thumb pressure
to area indicated on bat-
tery door and then lift the
door out and off the cabi-
net.
2. Connect 2 AA battery to
the connector plug.
3. Insert battery in the com-
partment and replace the
compartment door.
