This model is equipped with a battery backup circuit that will maintain the
time and alarm time settings in the event of a temporary power
interruption. The battery backup circuit will also operate the buzzer alarm
to wake you up at the selected wake up time even if the power is out. The
battery backup circuit requires one CR2450 lithium battery, included.

indicator you should replace the backup battery as soon as possible.

sold, and follow steps 1 through 4 below to install the replacement battery.
