Congratulations!
And thank you for purchasing the SmartSet® Clock Radio from Emerson Research.
SmartSet® is the world’s first and only LED 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 SmartSet® 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 your SmartSet® Clock Radio the
dreaded flashing “12:00” display is a thing of the past. The SmartSet® resets itself
as soon as the power is restored and gets you up on time, every time.
And if that isn’t enough, the SmartSet® computer also knows when Daylight Saving
Time begins and ends and it will adjust itself for those changes automatically through
2099! Leap Years too! And best of all, the long life lithium battery backup battery is
already ins talled in your radio. You don’t have to remember to put a new 9-volt
battery in your radio every 6 months. Under normal circumstances the lithium battery
can last for up to 5 years, and when it does need to be changed, a low battery
indicator will come on to let you know. The CR2430 lithium battery is available
almost anywhere that batteries are sold.
The SmartSet® also gives you dual alarms that can be set to go off on weekdays
only, weekends only, or all 7 days. You can set one alarm to wake you up to buzzer
Monday through Friday when you have to get up early, and use the second alarm
to wake you up to soft music on Saturday and Sunday when you can sleep in.
Someday all clocks and clock radios may be this smart. But today the technology
is only available from Emerson Research.
We’re sure you’ll be happy and amazed by your SmartSet® Clock Radio, and that it
will give you many years of enjoyment and dependable service.
Once again, all of us at Emerson Research thank you for your purchase.

exposed to direct sunlight or close to
heat radiating appliances such as
electric heaters, on top of other stereo
equipment that radiates too much
heat, places lacking ventilation or dusty
areas, places subject to constant
vibration and/or humid or moist areas.
• Operate controls and switches as
described in the manual.
• Before turning on the power, make
certain that the power cord is properly
installed.
• When moving the set, be sure to first
disconnect the AC power cord.

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 the Warranty page 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.
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.

Power Source
AC Outlet
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 have an out-dated non-polarized AC outlet. You should have your outlet
changed by a qualified licensed electrician.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting The Time, The First Time
IMPORTANT: The first time y ou connect your new SmartSet® c lock radio to
the AC outlet the internal c omputer will automatically set the time correctly for
the Eastern Time Zone, which is the initial default setting.
The display will scan for a few seconds and
then show the correct Time and Day in the
Eastern zone.
If you live in the Eastern Time zone, there’s nothing else to do. Your clock is
set correctly and running.
If you do not live in the Eastern Time zone you must change the default zone
display to your own zone. You only do this one time and the SmartSet® will remember
the new default zone setting and will always return to that setting after a power
interruption
There are 7 time zones programmed into your SmartSet® clock radio as follows:
ZONE 1 — Atlantic Time
ZONE 2 — Eastern Time (Default Setting)
ZONE 3 — Central Time
ZONE 4 — Mountain Time
ZONE 5 — Pacific Time
ZONE 6 — Yuk on Time
ZONE 7 — Hawaiian Time
To change the default time zone display, depress the TIME ZONE button.
The number “2” will appear on the display
indicating that the default zone is ZONE 2,
Eastern Time.
