POWER CONNECTION

1. Plug the cord of the power adaptor into the DC IN JACK (#15) located on the back

of the JCR-298.

2. Plug the power adaptor into a household wall socket. The unit is powered up and in

standby mode when you see the display turn on and begin flashing.

Battery Back-up system

• The radio is equipped with a battery back-up system. It requires 2 x AAA batteries

(Not included).

• Open the BATTERY DOOR (#12) on the back of the unit. Insert the batteries into

the battery compartment and make sure the positive and negative (+ or -) sides of

the batteries are in contact with the corresponding terminals in the battery

compartment. Replace the BATTERY DOOR (#12).

• If a power outage occurs, the unit automatically switches to the battery power

supply and keeps the clock settings.

• When replacing the battery, do not disconnect the power adaptor. Otherwise, all

clock and alarm settings will be lost.

Note:

The unit will still operate without the batteries installed, but the time and alarm settings

will be lost and have to be reset in the event of a power interruption or failure.

CAUTIONS:

1. Do not mix old and new batteries.

2. Only use good quality/name brand batteries.

3. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)
