Battery Backup  
CONGRATULATIONS!  
INSTALLATION  
Your telephone clock radio has a backup power system  
to guard against an AC power failure.While operating  
under battery power, your unit will maintain the time  
and alarm settings.However, the display will shut down  
to conserve battery power. Normal operation will  
resume after AC power is restored so you will not have  
to reset time or alarm. A standard 9 volt battery (not  
included ) can be used. It is recommended that an  
alkaline 9 volt battery be used to ensure continuous  
operation of the clock for up to eight hours during AC  
power failure.  
You have purchased a TCR500, a Telephone Clock  
Radio manufactured to the highest standards of  
ConairphoneTM. Before installing and operating, be  
sure to read this manual.  
Your ConairphoneTM is FCC approved for connection  
to your telephone line.
