PREPARATION
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your clock requires two AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we rec- ommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
???Use only fresh batteries of the required size and rec- ommended type.
???Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1.Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.
2.Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and
4
When you install batteries, all display segments briefly appear. Then AM 12:00 appears, followed by the seconds display. 1 appears below MONTH and 1 appears below DATE, indicating January 1. P (the default time zone) appears above the zone indicator.
Note: The clock is preset to display the day of the week in English. To set the clock to display in another language, see ???Setting the Clock??? on Page 7.
3. Replace the cover.
When BATT appears or the clock stops operating proper- ly, replace the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the clock for a month or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemi- cals that can destroy electronic parts.
CONNECTING TO AC POWER
Your clock comes with an AC adapter so you can operate the clock???s projector light continuously from AC power.
5
Caution: You must use a Class 2 power source
!that supplies 3 volts DC and delivers at least 200 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive
and its plug must fit the clock's DC 3V jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the clock or the adapter.
Follow these steps to connect the AC adapter to the clock.
1.Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.
2.Plug the AC adapter???s tip into the jack inside the bat- tery compartment.
3.Route the adapter???s cord through the slot marked DC 3V on the back of the clock.
4.Replace the cover.
5.Plug the AC adapter???s other end into a standard AC outlet.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Projection Clock is an example of su- perior design and craftsmanship. The following sugges- tions will help you care for your clock so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the clock dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry im- mediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the clock only in normal temper- ature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam- age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the clock away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the clock gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the clock to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your clock???s electronic parts.
13
Wipe the clock with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chem- icals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the clock.
Modifying or tampering with the clock???s internal compo- nents can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your clock is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
RESETTING THE CLOCK
If the clock does not work properly or locks up, you can reset it. Open the battery compartment and use a pointed object such as a straightened paper clip to press RESET. All display segments briefly appear. Follow the steps list- ed in ???Setting the Clock??? on Page 7 to set the clock again.
