Controls and Indicators

Preparation For Use

Battery Back-up System

Your new Timex Alarm Clock includes a battery back up system that will maintain the time and alarm settings and even turn on the alarm during a temporary power interruption. The battery back up system requires two “AAA” batteries, not included. We recommend you use a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.

Installing The Batteries

Press on the battery door locking tab to open and remove the battery door.
Install two “AAA” batteries in the battery compartment. Observe the polarity (+/ – ) markings in the battery compartment to make sure the batteries are inserted correctly.
Replace the battery door.

AC Power Plug

This model is equipped with a polarized AC power plug that has one wide blade and one narrow blade.
This plug will only fit in a polarized AC outlet.
This is a safety feature designed to prevent electric shock.
Do not try to defeat this safety feature by filing the wider blade or using an adapter to make this plug fit in a non-polarized outlet.
If this plug will not fit in your outlet you should have your outlet changed by a qualified electrician.

Operating Instructions

Unwind the AC power cord completely and insert the plug into a 120V/60Hz AC outlet. Use an outlet that is always ‘live’. Do not use an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. When the clock is connected to the AC outlet for the first time the display will turn on and begin flashing “12:00 (PM)”. If the back-up batteries were not installed, the Low Battery indicator will also be flashing.

Setting The Time

Depress the Time button and the Hour button together to advance the display to the correct hour, and then release both buttons. Observe the PM indicator to confirm that you have set the hour correctly. If the PM indicator is ‘On’ the hour on the display is PM. If the PM indicator does not appear the hour on the display is AM.
Depress the Time button and the Minute button together to advance the display to the correct minute, and then release both buttons. The time is now set and the clock is running.

Setting The Alarm Time

Depress the ALM Set/Reset button and the Hour button together to advance the display to the desired wake up hour, and then release both buttons. Observe the PM indicator to confirm that you have set the wake-up hour correctly. If the PM indicator is ‘On’ the wake-up hour on the display is PM. If the PM indicator does not appear the wake-up hour on the display is AM.
Depress the ALM Set/Reset button and the Minute button together to advance the display to the correct wake-up minute, and then release both buttons. The wake-up time is now set.
To activate the alarm press the ALM On/Off button. The ALM indicator appears in the lower left corner of the display to confirm that the alarm is ‘On’.

At the selected wake-up time the buzzer alarm will turn on. It begins softly and gradually increases in volume to wake you gently. The alarm sound will continue for one hour and then shut off and reset itself for the following day.
To stop the alarm sooner, press the ALM Set/Reset button again. The alarm will shut off immediately and reset itself for the following day.
To cancel the alarm so that it does not turn on again on the following day, press the ALM On/Off button until the ALM indicator no longer appears in the display.

NOTE: You may also adjust the loudness of the alarm with the Alarm Loud/Soft switch on the back panel.

Snooze Alarm

For a few minutes extra sleep after the alarm turns on, press the Snooze Bar on the top panel. The alarm will stop for 9 minutes and then turn on again. The Snooze operation may be repeated several times within the first hour but after one hour the alarm will not turn on again. It will reset itself for the following day.

Care and Maintenance

Replacing the Back-Up Batteries
Fresh back-up batteries can last for up to one year, depending on the frequency and length of the power interruptions that you experience in your home. When the batteries are getting weak the Low Battery indicator begins flashing in the display. Replace the batteries as soon as you see this indicator.
NOTE: To avoid having to reset the time and alarm settings, leave the clock connected to the AC outlet when changing the batteries.
Cleaning the Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dusty wipe it with a soft dusting cloth. Do not use dusting sprays. If the cabinet becomes smudged or dirty, wipe it with soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild soap and water solution. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners and never allow water or any other liquid to enter the cabinet.
