    • Prepare the Clock for Teardown:

    • Unplug the clock.

    • Remove the battery: On the back of the clock, press down on the top tab of the clear plastic battery compartment door and pull out. Disconnect the battery by pulling it off the leads. Set the battery aside.

    • Note: As in our case, there may not be a battery. A battery is only needed if the clock is used without being plugged in.

    • Lay the clock on its face.

    • There are six screws total. Each is marked with a small arrow on the grey back panel:

    • Release the Top Panel and Control Buttons:

    • Still on the underside of the clock, press the two plastic release tabs at the seam between the front and back panels.

    • Note: You may need the help of a flathead screwdriver if you can’t release the tabs with your fingers.

    • If you feel a snag, check the following seven internal release tabs. Generally, these are not an issue and the clock will easily pop apart releasing the top panel. If this is not the case, you can use a flathead screwdriver to release any stubborn tabs. The seven internal tabs are located:

    • Two are directly above and below the CANCEL button on the top panel.

    • Two are directly above and below the FWD button on the top panel.

    • Two are directly above and below the AM/FM switch on the side of the clock.

    • One is between the TUNING and VOLUME dial on the other side of the clock.

Thanks so much for posting this tear down. I love this clock, but one of the alarm buttons went out and I wasn't sure how to fix it. This showed me all the information I needed even though it wasn't specifically about that issue. Now I can use both alarms again!
