DC Operation • This unit can operate on both AC and DC power. An AC adapter was included with this unit. For further instructions on operating this unit using AC power, see AC Operation. •3 “AA” alkaline batteries can operate the unit without AC power. They will also continue running the unit if it is operating on AC power and there is a power failure. For best results, you should always have fresh “AA” alkaline batteries installed in this unit. • This unit comes with a CR-2032 lithium battery already installed. The CR-2032 is to maintain the time and alarm settings. 3 “AA” Main Battery Installation 1. Gently turn the unit over and remove the battery compartment door. 2. Install 3 “AA” alkaline batteries, while making sure that the + and – ends match up with those inside the battery compartment. 3. Close the battery compartment door and turn the unit right side up.
