Assembly and Instructions for Use

Unpack the product and check to make sure everything is included. (Fig. 1)
This unit is powered by a DC adaptor, which is included.
The battery power is designed only to provide MEMORY BACK-UP for the clock and alarm settings. One 9 Volt battery (not included) should be inserted into the battery compartment if memory back-up is desired (in the event of power outages or if the unit is unplugged). The time will be illuminated on the clock display, however, the backlight will not be illuminated. As soon as the power supply returns, the display will indicate the correct time.
Note: Battery must be installed in order for clock memory back-up to operate. In the event of a power failure or disconnection, if the battery is not installed, the clock and alarm will need to be re-set when power is restored.
To install battery, remove compartment cover. Insert one 9 Volt battery into the compartment on the bottom of the unit. Replace cover and snap into place.
