POWER

This unit can be operated by batteries orAC power alone as well as

both together.

Battery Installation:

start to blink. Replace the batteries or connect it with AC power

adapter and press RESET.

This unit is also equipped with a short-term power back-up feature

--- it can remain to operate for a short period of time after it has

been disconnected with power supply so that all previous settings

can be saved during battery replacement. During that period, the

analog clock display will also blink. In this case, replace the

batteries or connect it with AC power adapter accordingly .

Note: Under normal circumstances, the batteries are good for 1

year. However, the battery life can be reduced vastly by frequent

use of the projector or snooze function.

If not disposed of properly batteries can be harmful.

Protect the environment by taking exhausted batteries to

authorized disposal stations.
