Your new Timex Clock Radio includes a battery back up system that will maintain the time and alarm settings during a temporary power interruption. The battery back up system requires two "AAA" batteries, not included. We recommend you use a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance. If you experience a power failure while batteries are installed, the display will turn 'off' but the clock will continue to run and maintain your alarm settings. When power is restored the display will turn 'on' again and the time and alarm settings will be correct.
This clock radio has four silicon rubber feet on the bottom cabinet to prevent the radio from sliding and to avoid scratching your furniture. These rubber feet are designed not to leave marks on furniture. However the use of certain furniture polishes could cause the rubber feet to soften and stick to your furniture. If this radio is going to be placed on fine, highly polished wooden furniture, you should place small self-adhesive felt pads on the rubber feet, or place a cloth between the radio and the surface of the furniture.
This model is equipped with a polarized AC power plug that has one wide blade and one narrow blade. This plug will only fit in a polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature designed to prevent electric shock. Do not try to defeat this safety feature by filing the wider blade or using an adapter to make this plug fit in a non-polarized outlet. If this plug will not fit in your outlet you should have your outlet changed by a qualified electrician.

Good quality alkaline batteries should last for at least one year under normal conditions. When you decide to change the batteries, leave the clock radio connected to the AC outlet to avoid having to reset the time, alarm times, and radio preset station memories.
If you experience a power failure and the back up batteries are exhausted, the display will begin flashing when the power is restored. If you notice the flashing display you should first remove the exhausted batteries, install fresh batteries, and then reset the time, alarm times, and preset station memories as described in this manual.
