“Sure Alarm” Battery Backup Installation
It is strongly recommended that a 9-Volt battery be installed into the unit, as directed below, in order to activate
this product’s “Sure Alarm” Battery Backup feature. In the event that the AC power cord is disconnected or a
power failure or other interruption occurs, the “Sure Alarm” Battery Backup will maintain clock and alarm settings
for the life of the battery, ensuring that the alarm (buzzer only) will sound at the set time. During any interruptions
the clock display will be blank, but time and alarm settings will be saved and automatically restored when AC
power is again active.
Note: The Snooze button will not operate if the alarm goes off during a power failure.
To install the battery:
1. Open the battery compartment cover.
2. Install one 9-Volt battery (alkaline is recommended for longer life), making sure
that the large terminal matches to the large outlet.
After installing the battery and reading the Maintenance notes, plug the AC power
cord into an outlet, being sure to match the wide blade of the plug to the wide
slot of the outlet. Never force the plug into an outlet. When the unit is connected
