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.
Unwind the AC power cord completely and insert the plug into a 120V/60Hz AC outlet. Use an
outlet that is always ‘live’. Do not use an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.

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 Timex clock radio has dual alarms that can be set and used independently. The initial
default alarm settings are 6:00 AM for Alarm 1 and 7:00 AM for Alarm 2. The procedure for
setting both alarms is the same.
