NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. 3 INSTALLATION Unravel the AC cord and connect it to a conveniently located AC outlet having 120V and 60Hz only. The Clock Display will illuminate and "12:00" will appear in the window. AC Outlet NOTE: If the AC plug does not fit into a nonpolarized outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade. it is the user's responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete AC Plug outlet. If the AC cord is disconnected or if there is a power failure, this electronic clock is designed to continue operating internally (without showing the time on the Clock Display) with a 9 volt battery (not included). To install the battery, press and lift open the compartment cover. Connect the battery to the terminals of the battery snap inside the compartment (use of an alkaline battery is recommended) and snap the battery comaprtment cover back into place. Be sure to check the condition of the battery periodically by disconnecting the AC cord and connecting it again two or three minutes later. The preset times should continue operating. If the present time does not appear, it indicates the battery is dead or not connected properly. The 9 volt battery will keep the internal times accurately for approximately 30 minutes. If the power is restored after 30 minutes, the times may need to be reset. BATTERY PRECAUTIONS Follow these precautions when using a battery in this device: 1. Use only the size and type of battery specified. 2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the battery as indicated in the battery compartment. A reversed battery may cause damage to the device. 3. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the battery to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage. 4. Do not try to recharge a battery not intended to be recharged; it can overheat and rupture.
