Thank you for purchasing this SmartSet® CD clock radio. It’s world’s first
and only LED CD clock radio that will automatically set itself to the correct
‘Year’, ‘Month’, ‘Date’, ‘Day’, and ‘Time’ as soon as you plug it in. The only
thing you have to do is tell the CD clock radio what time zone you are in,
and the built in computer does everything else for you immediately. And
not only the first time, but every time the power is interrupted as well.
We all know how annoying it is to wake up in the morning and see the
dreaded flashing “12:00” display on our clocks or clock radios. This means
that your power was interrupted some time during the night while you were
sleeping and your clock doesn’t know what time it is anymore. Unfortunately
it probably also means that you are late for work, or for school, again. But
with SmartSet® the dreaded flashing “12:00” display is a thing of the past.
SmartSet® resets itself as soon as the power is restored and gets you up
on time, every time.
The SmartSet® CD Clock Radio has dual alarms with 5 different
programming options:
• Monday through Friday only;
• Monday through Saturday only;
• All Seven Days;
• Saturday and Sunday only, or
• Sunday only.
With these options you almost never have to worry about the alarm waking
you up on days that you want to sleep in.
For future reference, record the serial number in the space provided.

PREPARATION FOR USE
AC Outlet
UNPACKING AND SET UP
• Remove the radio from the c arton 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 the CD protective card on the CD mechanism and 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. Unwind the FM lead
wire antenna and extend it to its full length.
POWER SOURCE
This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not
attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage
to the radio that is not covered by your warranty.
This radio should be connected to an AC outlet that is always ‘live’. Do not connect
it to an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. When the power to the radio is
interrupted, the built in lithium battery takes over to maintain the time and alarm
settings. To maximize the life of the lithium battery keep the radio connected to a
‘live’ AC outlet at all times.
You will note that this system is equipped with a polarized AC power plug having
one blade wider than the other. This is a safety feature. If this plug does not fit into
your existing AC outlet, do not try to
defeat this safety feature by filing the
wide blade to make it fit into your
outlet. If this plug will not fit into your
outlet, you probably hav e an outdated non-polarized AC outlet. You
should have your outlet changed by
a qualified licensed electrician.

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product
from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from
non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any
marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based
furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the
rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture.
To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you
purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and
home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom
of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING THE TIME, THE FIRST TIME
The first time you connect your new SmartSet® CD Clock Radio to the AC outlet
the clock will immediately begin to scroll. After a few seconds it will set itself
automatically to the correct year, month, date, day, and time in the Eastern Time
Zone, which is Zone 02. If you live in the Eastern Time Zone there is nothing else
to do. Your clock is now set and running. If you live in a different time zone you
must set the clock to your own time zone. You only make this adjustment one time.
The SmartSet clock will remember the time zone that you set and automatically
return to that time zone after every power interruption.
There are 7 time zones programmed into your SmartSet® CD Clock Radio as
follows:
ZONE 01 — ATLANTIC TIME
ZONE 02 — EASTERN TIME (The default setting)
ZONE 03 — CENTRAL TIME
ZONE 04 — MOUNTAIN TIME
ZONE 05 — PACIFIC TIME
ZONE 06 — YUKON TIME
ZONE 07 — HAWAIIAN TIME
To change the time zone from the ZONE 02 default setting:
• Press and hold the PROGRAM/TIME ZONE button. The display will show
“02” which is the Eastern Time Zone.
• While holding the PROGRAM/TIME ZONE button press either the SKIP FWD/
UP or the SKIP REV/DOWN button to adjust the zone display to your own
time zone as indicated above.
• When your zone appears in the display release the buttons. The display will
now show the correct time in your time zone.

example, at midnight on February 28th (2 28), the display will automatically change
to March 1st (3 1), unless it is a Leap Year, in which case the display will change
to February 29th (2 29).
DAY DISPLAY
To see the correct day of the week depress the REPEAT/DAY button. The day is
expressed numerically as follows:
1 – Monday,

As soon as you release the REPEAT/DAY button the display returns to the correct
