Dimmer Switch  
The Dimmer switch located on the left side of your clock radio will allow you  
to adjust the intensity of the clock display to suit room brightness.  
Backup battery  
As with all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be  
replaced. A number of factors, such as the length of time between the date your  
clock radio was manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first time,  
determine the amount of time before replacement. During this initial storage  
period the lithium backup battery is supplying power to your clock radios  
computer memory. Once you connect your clock radio to the household AC  
mains supply the battery no longer supplies power to your clock radio. A fresh  
backup battery can supply power to your clock radio’s computer memory for 2  
years even if it is never connected to a mains supply. If your clock radio was  
connectedtotheACmainssupplywithinafewmonthsafteritwasmanufactured  
and you experience only short interruptions to the mains supply, your battery  
may last for up to 2-3 years or even longer.

Changing the backup battery  
1. Purchase a replacement lithium backup battery type CR2032 or  
equivalent.  
8. Refit two small screws to secure holder and confirm that the “Low Batt”  
indicator is not lit.  
2. Remove the fresh battery from its packaging so that it is ready to install.  
3. Important. Maintain connection to AC mains supply during battery  
replacement. This will provide power whilst the original battery is  
removed.  
4. Use a small screwdriver to remove the two small screws securing the  
battery holder on cabinet back.  
5. Remove the battery holder from cabinet.  
6. Remove old battery from holder noting polarity. Replace new battery  
with same polarity.  
7. Replace the holder into cabinet back.
