TCX-85 Power Modes
Power On Mode
During this mode where the clock has power from the AC power adapter, the
clock will have all functionality and the display will show the current time,
date, weekday, ink level, atomic clock signal level, etc.
Power Off Mode
During this mode where the clock has NO power from the AC power adapter,
the clock will have NO functionality and the display will be off. The clock will
continue to run on the internal coin battery to retain the correct time and
user settings. Upon restoring the AC power, the clock will return to normal
operation.
Note – If the clock does not have AC power and the coin battery is
removed or dead, the clock will lose all user settings and the time and
date will revert to displaying the factory default setting of
Jan 1, 2011, 12:00 AM when the AC power is restored. The
maximum amount of time the clock can preserve the user settings
with the coin battery is 2 years (see Specifications on page 51).

is connected to AC power.
