Setup

1. Power Connection: Connect the alarm clock to a 100V-240V universal AC adapter. The RediSet feature will automatically display the correct time.
2. Time Zone Selection: If you are not in the Eastern Time Zone, use the "Time Zone" button (located on the back or top of the unit) to cycle through the available time zones until the correct time is displayed.
3. Daylight Saving Time (DST): Locate the "DST" switch (usually on the back). Slide it to "+1" to add one hour for Daylight Saving Time, and to "-1" when DST ends.
4. Battery Backup Installation: For battery backup, open the battery compartment (typically on the bottom or back) and insert 3 AAA batteries (not included). Ensure correct polarity. This will preserve time and alarm settings during power outages.
