PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE!!  
This system is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving  
when you operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating rubber  
material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture.  
However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning  
sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on  
the furniture.  
To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase  
small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement  
centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before you  
place the product on fine wooden furniture.  
IMPORTANT NOTES  
Avoid installing the unit in locations described below:  
 Places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heat radiating appliances such as  
electric heaters.  
 Dusty, humid or moist places.  
 Places subject to constant vibration.

POWER SOURCE  
This unit is designed to operate on 120V ~ 60Hz AC house current. Operating this unit  
on any other power source may cause damage to the unit, and such damage is not  
covered by your warranty.  
It is also equipped with a battery back-up system for the clock that is powered by an  
optional 9V 006P battery (type 6F22 or equivalent) – not included.  
BATTERY BACK – UP SYSTEM  
The Battery Back-up System ensures the clock and alarm settings will be retained during a  
power interruption or power outage (in order to preserve the battery life the Display will not  
light). All clock settings will be kept in memory, however, the clock time may require  
adjustment for exact accuracy once the power returns. If a battery is not installed, the  
Display will blink “12:00” when the power is restored. This will indicate that you have to  
reset the time and alarm settings.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION  
Note: For optimum performance an alkaline-type battery is recommended.  
1. Open the battery compartment door on the bottom of the cabinet then connect one  
DC 9V battery to the Battery Clip located inside.  
Note: The battery clip only fits one way to ensure the correct polarity.  
2. Replace the Battery Compartment Door.  
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the battery is installed correctly. Wrong polarity may  
damage the unit.  
BATTERY CARE  
i. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the battery. Old  
or leaking battery can cause damage to the unit and will void the warranty.  
ii. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat,  
rupture and leak. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.  
iii. Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may leak or explode.  
POWER FAILURE INDICATOR  
If there is no battery installed in the unit or the battery installed is weak or dead, the time  
and alarm settings will be lost if the power is interrupted. When the AC power is restored  
the display will flash “12:00”. This indicates that the time displayed is incorrect and  
needs to be reset.  
IMPORTANT:  
After you reset the time, be sure to reset your alarm settings as well.
