MAINTENANCE
There are three ways of switching off the alarm. Unless you cancel the alarm
completely, the 24 hour alarm reset option will be automatically selected after

from the wall outlet. In addition to this, it is advisable to remove the battery
from the clock radio. This will prevent any danger of leakage and the clock
radio will not be damaged.
