Follow these steps to set up your Sangean RCR-10 clock radio.

Connect the provided AC power adapter to the DC IN jack on the back of the unit and then plug it into a standard wall outlet. The unit will power on automatically.

Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit, insert the required batteries (e.g., 2 x AA batteries) according to the polarity indicators, and close the compartment. Note that battery backup only saves settings; the alarm will not sound during a power outage without AC power.

After atomic synchronization, you may need to set your local time zone. Refer to the on-screen menu or dedicated buttons (if available) to select the correct time zone for your region. This ensures the displayed time is accurate.
