OPERATION
Storage battery
The storage battery is designed to keep the present time and the alarm time in the memory in case of a power failure. Thus
after a power failure you will not have to reset the time and you can rely on being awakened if the power is resumed before
the set alarm time.
It is advisable to replace the storage battery once per year to safeguard operation without problems.
For this you will need a 9v block battery (type 6LR61).This battery is not included in the standard delivery.
Mains connection
