RCA alarm clock - RP3721 - crystal or AC for time? What does this alarm clock use to keep time?

Question

What does this alarm clock use to keep time? Is it primarily a waveshaping circuit off of the 60hz AC that clocks digital circuit - or - does it run always off of a crystal time keeping circuit?I assume for battery backup, it has a crystal time keeping circuit. If it does use 60hz AC, how does it switch when power may be detected as low?The problem is that every once and a while the clock gains time, but no AC has been lost (as far as observed).Thanks.Larry Park
