POWER SOURCE This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage to the radio that is not covered by your warranty. This radio should be connected to an AC outlet that is always ‘live’. Do not connect it to an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. When the power to the radio is interrupted, the Sure Alarm battery back up system takes over to maintain the time and alarm settings. To maximize the life of the back up battery, keep the radio connected to a ‘live’AC outlet at all times. This radio uses a polarized AC plug which has one blade wider than the other. This plug will only fit into a polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If the plug will not fit, you may have an older non-polarized AC outlet. Do not defeat the safety feature by trying to file the wider blade, or replacing the plug. Contact an electrician to replace your outdated outlet. 5 AC Plug AC Outlet CK5052_ib041503.p65 5 15/4/2003, 10:30 6 LOCATION OF CONTROLS AND INDICATORS 1.) Lighted Dial Pointer. 2.)
