Replacing the Night Light
Bulb
MAINTENANCE
Your Radio Shack Chronomatic-308
AM/FM LED Clock Radio with Auto-
matic Timer and Night Light is an ex-
ample of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following sugges-
tions will help you care for it so you can
enjoy it for years.
If the night light bulb burns out, replace
it with a 6.3-Volt, Type-44 bulb. We
recommend Radio Shack Cat. No.
272-1108.
Caution: If the night light has been on
several minutes, let the bulb and bulb
socket cool before you touch them.
• Keep the clock radio dry. If it gets
wet, wipe it dry.
• Use and store the clock radio only
in normal temperature environ-
ments.
Follow these steps to replace the light
bulb.
1. Gently pull up the night light lens
cover to remove it.
• Handle the clock radio gently and
carefully.
• Keep the clock radio away from
dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.
• Wipe the clock radio with a damp
cloth occasionally to keep it look-
ing new.
2. Unscrew the bulb.
• Use only a fresh battery of the rec-
ommended size and type. Always
remove an old or weak battery.
Modifying or tampering with the clock
radio’s internal components can cause
a malfunction and might invalidate its
warranty and void your FCC authoriza-
tion to operate it. If your clock radio is
not performing as it should, take it to
your local Radio Shack store for assis-
tance.
3. Insert a new bulb into the bulb
socket and screw it into place.
4. Replace the lens cover.
