battery may be used but memory
holding time will be substantially
reduced. Memory holding time
for a fresh alkaline battery is
approximately 8 hours (if radio
or alarm are not operated) which
should take care of short, nuisance-
type AC power failures. To preserve
battery life, the unit should remain
plugged into an AC outlet. As the
battery gets older, its voltage drops
and memory may be lost. Be sure
to replace the battery periodically.
Battery should be removed if the
unit will be stored for more than
one month. Leaky battery can badly
damage the clock radio.
