 The backlight will turn off or operate at high or low intensity at your discretion.
Backup Batteries
Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate
voltage. Many items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries.
Batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in
the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage
longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years
can deplete the power.
 We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for your clock.
 A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper
performance.
 Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries
dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in
performance.
 Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF
(radio frequency) interference from the battery compartment.
