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 sour ces 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 equipment 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 store 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

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.

NOTE: 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.

SureAlarm™ Battery Back-Up System

This SmartSet

Clock Radio includes SureAlarm™ battery back-up circuit that can wake you up even if the power is ‘off’ at the selected wake up time. If your power is ‘of f’ at t he selected wake up time the clock display will be of f and the radio wil l not op erate, but a separate mini-buzzer

will turn ‘on’ automatically to wake you up, even if the “Wake to Radio” option was selected. The Sure Alarm will sound for 30 seconds

and then shut off automatically. To stop the Sure Alarm buzzer immediately, press the RADIO ON/OFF button. Pressing the SNOOZE button has no effect during SureAlarm™ operation.

NOTE: In order to maximize the life of the built in lithium b attery, please be sure to set the ALARM 1 and ALARM 2 switches to the ‘OFF’ position if the radio will be disconnected from the AC outlet for more than a few hours. This will prevent the Sure Alarm from turning ‘On’ unnecessarily.
