Power supply
Battery operation
• Insert 2 АAA (UM-4) batteries (not included)
to the terminals inside the battery
compartment according to the polarity marks
(+ and -). Your set will not work normally from
the battery supply, but there is now the
advantage that, in case of a mains current
failure or power outage, your clock will
continue to work. The clock display will not
light up, the clock time and alarm setting will
be held in the clock memory by the battery
back-up system.
This enables you to move the set from place
to place without re-setting the clock every time.
The battery back-up system is only meant to
be used for short-term power failures. For
longer durations the batteries may become
exhausted or there may be some deviation in
accuracy.
• When the batteries are exhausted, they
should be removed from the set to prevent
leakage. If you do not wish to take advantage
of the battery back-up system, your set will
work normally without batteries. However, if
disconnected from the mains, the clock
figures will flash when the mains are
reconnected and you must re-set the clock.
AС operation
