1. Remove the unit and all packing materials from the carton. You should save packing
materials in case unit needs to be returned for service. If you do not wish to save the
materials, please dispose of them properly.
2. Place the unit on a stable, level surface, close to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and
away from sources of dust, dirt, heat, water, moisture, vibration, and strong magnetic
fields.
3. After installing the batteries (see below) and reading the Maintenance notes, plug the AC
cord into an outlet.
“Sure Alarm” Battery Backup Installation
It is recommended that a CR-2032 battery be installed into the unit, as directed below, to
activate the “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” system will
maintain clock and alarm settings for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarm will sound
at the set time (note: while operating on battery power, all set alarms will sound as a buzzer).
When power is restored, the clock will cease using battery power,
and will again operate on AC power. The Battery Low Indicator
shows if there is not enough battery power to run the backup.
To install backup battery:
1. Using screw driver to open the battery compartment door.
2. Install a CR-2032 battery into the battery compartment.
Please make sure the polarity is correct as shown within
the battery compartment.
3. Put the battery compartment door back.
Maintenance
l Place the unit on a level surface away from sources of direct sunlight or excessive heat.
l Protect your furniture when placing your unit on a natural wood and lacquered finish. A
cloth or other protective material should be placed between it and the furniture.
l Clean your unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Stronger cleaning
agents, such as Benzine, thinner or similar materials can mar the surface of the case.
l If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period, such as a month or longer, remove
the batteries to prevent possible corrosion. Should the battery compartment become
corroded or dirty, clean the compartment thoroughly and replace the batteries.
