About the backup
battery
To keep accurate time, this unit contains a
CR2032 battery inside of the unit as a backup

The clock is preset at the factory, and its memory
is powered by the preinstalled Sony CR2032
battery. If the "AM 12:00" appears in the display
when the unit is connected to AC outlet for the
first time, the battery may be weak. In this case,
consult a Sony dealer. The preinstalled CR2032
battery is considered part of the product, and is
covered by the warranty.
You are required to show "Note for customers in
the UK" (in this instruction) to a Sony dealer in
order to validate the warranty for this product.
Knowing when to replace the
battery
When the battery becomes weak, "" appears in
the display.
If a power interruption occurs while the battery is
weak, the current time and alarm will be erased.
Replace the battery with a Sony CR2032 lithium
battery. Use of another battery may cause a fire or
