Introduction

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THE HD PULSE™ TABLETOP CLOCK RADIO

We have designed this product to provide you with access to the full spectrum of features
that the new HD Radio™ technology offers. Across the country, AM and FM radio
broadcasters are upgrading to digital HD Radio transmissions, which the HD Pulse receiver
is specially designed to receive. Plug-in your HD Pulse radio and you are ready to
experience the improved clarity and content of HD Radio broadcasts!

iBiquity Digital’s HD Radio technology enhances the audio quality of AM and FM
broadcasts. The digital signals allow FM stations to be enjoyed with CD-quality sound and
boosts AM quality up to the level of FM sound. The static, hiss, pops and fades heard on
today’s analog radios are virtually eliminated with HD Radio technology. Program
associated data, such as real-time song titles, artist and album information is also provided.
HD Radio technology also provides multiple programming options over a single FM channel,
known as multicasting (where available). To learn more about HD Radio technology and to
