CARE AND MAINTENANCE
su ppl ying pow er to th e Sma rtS et com puter me mory. Onc e you pl ug th e r adio in,
your household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is not being used. A fresh
lithium battery can supply power to the SmartSet computer for at least 3 years even
if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your clock radio was connected to
your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and you experience
only the normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions, your battery may
last for up to 5 years or even longer.
When the battery power drops below a certain level,the LOW BATT.indicator
will 'Flash'. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as
it is convenient for you to do so. To change the battery proceed as follows:
1.) Pu rch ase a re place men t 3V lit hium bat tery whe rever ba tteri es are s old . Th e
battery type is CR2032 or equivalent.
2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.
