PREPARATION  
REMOVING THE BATTERY  
INSULATION STRIP  
Your alarm clock comes with an insulation  
strip that helps preserve battery power during  
shipping. Before using the alarm clock, re-  
move the insulation strip from the button-cell  
battery compartment (located inside the AA  
battery compartment) by grasping and pulling  
it out.

INSTALLING BATTERIES  
Your clock comes with two 357A button-cell  
batteries to power the LCD clock, and requires  
four AA batteries (not supplied) to power its  
other functions. For the best performance and  
longest life, we recommend RadioShack alka-  
line batteries.  
Cautions:  
• Use only fresh batteries of the required  
size and recommended type.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries, differ-  
ent types of batteries (alkaline, or

Notes:  
• For maximum battery life, we recommend  
using the countdown timer for sleep  
sounds (see “Using the Countdown

become distorted, or the display dims,  
use a sharp object (such as a straight-  
ened paper clip) to press RESET on the  
back of the clock.

cally shut off the sleep sounds after 30, 60, or  
90 minutes.

down to the desired amount of time (30,

CARE  
To enjoy your Sleep Machine for a long time:  
• Keep the Sleep Machine dry. If it gets wet,  
wipe it dry immediately.
