Replacing/Installing Backup Batteries - iHome iBT31 Instruction Manual

Replacing and Installing Clock Backup Battery
Note: 2 AA batteries are included with the unit. Install them before using the unit.
This model is equipped with a battery backup circuit that will maintain the time and alarm time settings in the event of
a temporary power interruption (the display is NOT maintained). The battery backup circuit will also operate the
buzzer alarm to wake you up at the selected wake up time even if the power is out. When the backup batteries are
getting weak the Low Backup Battery Indicator will begin flashing in the display. When you see this flashing indicator
you should replace the backup batteries as soon as possible. Note: We recommend alkaline batteries for best
performance.
To install/replace the backup batteries:
IMPORTANT: When replacing the backup batteries be sure to have the unit
connected to the AC outlet to maintain all of your settings, otherwise it will be
necessary to reset the time and alarm time after the batteries are replaced.
1. Slide and remove the battery door located on the bottom of the unit. If
replacing batteries, remove the exhausted batteries.
2. Insert 2 fresh AA batteries in the backup battery compartment. Make sure the
polarity of the batteries ("+" or "-" nodes) matches the illustration.
3. Slide and close the battery compartment door. Confirm that the backup battery
indicator is not flashing in the display.
