system for approximately 48 hours during a power loss, or while the radio is temporarily 
unplugged. 
Note:  
The battery does not provide power for Wave/PC unit operation or for its display. 
Operating without this battery results in the loss of clock and alarm settings, and preset but-
ton settings in the event of a power loss, but does not harm the radio.
Use a standard 9V battery (IEC 6F22 in Europe), available at most retail stores.
1. Carefully turn the Wave/PC unit upside down.
2. Locate the battery compartment on the bottom (Figure 5).
3. Press the arrow on the cover to slide the compartment open.
4. Lift the battery clip out of the compartment and align it with the battery as shown. Make 
sure you match the polarity of the battery with that of the battery clip.
5. Snap the battery clip firmly onto the battery.
6. Place the battery in the compartment and slide the cover closed. Then turn the Wave/PC 
unit right side up.
