Thank you for purchasing this Emerson Compact AM/FM Clock Radio with
Dual Alarms and NAP Timer.

The large LED display is designed to be highly visible and easily readable from
anywhere in your room. The dual alarms can be set and used independently. And
since there are two separate Radio/Buzzer selector switches , you can set one
alarm to wake you to buzzer and the other to wake you to radio if you wish. All of
the controls are easy to see and easy to use. The radio has a slide rule dial for easy
tuning. The clock has forward and reverse setting controls for quick and easy
adjustments.

The Sure-Alarm battery back up system will remember the time and alarm settings
of cours e, but it can do more than that. As long as there is a fresh 9-volt battery
installed, the Sure-Alarm system will operate the radio or buzzer alarm to wake
you up even if the power is off at your normal wake up time.

We have taken great care to make sure that your radio was in perfect work ing
order when it left our factory. It has been designed to give you many years of
enjoyment and trouble free operation. Should you experience any problems with
the operation or performance of this product please refer to the service and warranty
information at the end of this instruction manual.

Once again, from all of us at Emerson Radio Corp., thanks for your purchase.

For future reference, record the serial number in the space provided.

PREPARATION FOR USE

UNPACKING AND SET UP

•Remove the radio from the carton and remove all packing material from the

radio. We suggest that you save the packing material, if possible, in the unlikely
event that your radio ever needs to be returned for service. The original carton
and packing material is the only safe way to pack your radio to protect it from
damage in transit.

•Remove any descriptive labels or stickers on the front or top of the cabinet. Do

not remove any labels or stickers from the back or bottom of the cabinet.

•Note the serial number on the bottom of your radio and write this number in the

space provided on Page 2 of this manual.

•Place your radio on a level surface such as a table, desk or shelf, convenient to

an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dirt,
dust, moisture, humidity, or vibration.

•Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. The FM antenna is

built in to this cord. It must be fully extended to provide the best FM reception.

SURE-ALARM BATTERY BACK UP SYSTEM

The Sure-Alarm battery back up system in this radio will maintain the time and
alarm settings in the event of a temporary power interruption. When the power is
restored the time and alarm settings will be correct. If the power is off at your wake
up time, the Sure-Alarm system will use the battery power to turn on the radio or
buzzer alarm as usual, as long as the back up battery is installed and has sufficient
power remaining.

The Sure-Alarm battery back up system requires one 9-volt battery, not included.
We recommend that you install an alkaline battery for longest life and best
performance.
