A fresh lithium battery can supply power to the SmartSet® computer for at least 3 years even if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your radio was connected to your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and you experience only the normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions, your battery may last for up to 5 years or even longer. When the battery power drops below a certain level, the BATT LOW indicator will come on. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as it is convenient for you to do so. To change the battery proceed as follows: 1.) Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold. The battery type is CR2430 or equivalent. 2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install. IMPORTANT: Leave the radio power cord connected to your AC outlet. This will provide power to the SmartSet® computer memory while the original lithium battery is removed. 3.) Turn the radio upside down and use a small screwdriver to remove the screw securing the battery holder to the cabinet. BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THIS SMALL SCREW! 4.) Remove the original battery from the holder and insert the new battery into the holder the same way, observing the positive (+) direction. Slide the holder with the new battery back into the slot in the cabinet. 5.) Replace the screw that secures the battery holder in the cabinet. 6.) Turn the radio right side up and confirm that the BATT LOW indicator is ‘Off’. 7.) Save these instructions. You’ll have to do this again five to eight years from now! 16 1 2 3 4 CR2430 PAPER COVER TURN HOLDER UP-SIDE-DOWN BOTTOM CABINET CKS2023_020504.p65 16 5/2/2004, 10:52 RESETTING THE CLOCK AFTER A TOTAL MEMORY LOSS If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time after you see the BATT LOW warning indicator, the lithium battery may become exhausted and will no longer be able to supply back up power to the SmartSet® internal computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after the battery is exhausted, or if a power interruption occurs, the SmartSet® memory will be lost and the clock will need to be reset when the power is restored. Be sure to install a fresh lithium battery before you reset the clock, otherwise the clock will need to be reset each time the power is interrupted. If the lithium battery is exhausted and you experience an interruption in the AC power supply, the clock will reset itself to its initial default setting when the power is restored. The initial default setting is 6:00 AM, Thursday, January 1st (1 1), 1998. If you notice that the time on your SmartSet® clock radio is completely incorrect, and the day indicator is also wrong, press the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons together to see the year. If the year display is showing “1998” you probably experienced a total memory loss. To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows: 1.) Follow the instructions on page 16 and install a new CR2430 lithium battery in the battery compartment. 2.) Connect the radio to your AC outlet and let the clock set itself. 3.) Depress the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons together. The display will change from ‘time’to ‘year’. 4.) While holding the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons, press the UP button to set the display to the correct year, then release the buttons. 5.) Depress the MONTH/DATE button. The display will change from ‘time’to ‘month/date’(mm/dd). 6.) While holding the MONTH/DATE button, press the UP button to set the display to the correct month and date. The Day indicator will change automatically as you adjust the month/date settings. When the correct month and date appear on the display, release the buttons. 7.) Depress the TIME button and the UP button to set the display to the correct time. Be sure to confirm that you have set the time correctly to ‘AM’or ‘PM’by observing the AM indicator. 8.) After you set the time, reconfirm that the Day, and Month/Date displays are still correct. Make final adjustments if necessary. 17 CKS2023_020504.p65 17 5/2/2004, 10:52 The SmartSet® clock memory is now reset and the new lithium battery will maintain it for the next 5 to 8 years, depending on the number and duration of the power outages you experience. IMPORTANT NOTE: After resetting the clock, don’t forget to reset your wake up times, and alarm mode settings, and sleep timer settings as well.
