step 2–I can’t get the battery out of the compartment. Am I not pushing hard enough? Should I take a screw driver to pry it out? I’m afraid of breaking the compartment since it’s only plastic.

The battery does not prevent the display/clock from switching off when I unplug the cord. Is the purpose of the battery not supposed to be to retain power even when unplugged? I have already put in a replacement one, presuming the one that came with it to be faulty. How do I get this to work?

Is the original Sony one meant to charge up or something? Please help as it doesn’t seem right if back up battery function does not do it’s job.

The back up battery doesn’t seem to do it’s job. Unit switches off when unplugged. Is it the case that the original Sony battery charges? I assumed ut to be flat, replaced the battery but this doesn’t retain the power either

Is my clock faulty? How to engage the back-up battery?

@kirstyonline Kirsty, as the battery description says, it is only backup. So not for full device powering, but only to back-up time status while mains power is down. Unfortunately, this device is only capable of running from mains.
