Features

• Power back-up function to keep the clock during a
power interruption, using a 6F22 battery (not supplied)
Installing the
battery
To keep good time, your Dream Machine needs one
6F22 battery (not supplied), in addition to house
current. The battery keeps the clock operating in the
event of a power interruption.
Before setting the time on your Dream Machine,
install the battery with correct polarity.
Installing the battery
(see Fig. A-1)
Clip the battery in place observing correct polarity,
and insert it in the battery compartment until it clicks
into position.
Removing the battery
(see Fig. A-2)
Turn the unit upside down and push the battery
forward from the battery compartment.
• After a power interruption, the displayed time may
not always be correct (it may gain or lose about 10
minutes per hour).
Knowing when to replace the
battery
To check battery power, unplug the AC power cord
from the wall outlet and plug it in again after a few
minutes. If the displayed time is incorrect, replace the
battery with a new one.
Battery warning
