Soundmax SM-2501 [3/7] Radio operations

Battery backup

• Insert 1x9 V battery (not included) to the terminal inside the battery compartment. Your set will not work normally from the battery

supply, but there is now the advantage that, in case there is a mains current failure, your clock will continue to work. The clock

display will not light up, the clock time will be held in the clock memory by the battery back-up system.

This enables you to move the set from place to place without re-setting the clock every time. The battery back-up system is only

meant to be used from short temporary power failures. For longer durations the battery may become exhausted or there may be

some deviation in accuracy.

• When the battery is exhausted, it should be removed from the set to prevent leakage. If you do not wish to take advantage of the

battery back-up system, your set will work normally without a battery. However, if disconnected from the mains, the clock figures

will flash when the mains are re-connected and you must re-set the clock as described in the AC Operation paragraph.
