The power failure protection circuit will not operate unless battery is installed. When normal household power is interrupted, or AC cord is unplugged, the battery will power the clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into the memory. When the battery backup functions, the digital display will not light, however, the function of alarm still occurs during the power interruption if remaining battery power is adequate. Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset the time or the alarm. Install battery as below: 1. Remove battery compartment door (located at the bottom of the radio) by applying thumb pressure to area indicated on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet. 2. Connect a 9V battery to the connector plug. 3. Insert battery in the compartment and replace the compartment door. Power Failure Indicator When the AC power is interrupted (disconnected) for a short period of time, both time and alarm settings will change (unless optional battery is installed). After AC power is restored (reconnected), the Digital Display will blink to indicate that power was interrupted and you should re-adjust the time and alarm settings.
