… … … .For Your iPod®

Thank you for purchasing this Digital Tuning Stereo Clock Radio with iPod® Docking Station and SmartSet® Auto Time Setting System from Emerson Research. This compact system has been designed with a powerful amplifier and matching high fidelity speakers to produce the kind of sound that you would only expect from a much larger, more expensive audio system. There is a built-in iPod® docking station that allows you to play any dockable iPod® model* through the speakers of this system. In addition while your iPod® is installed in the docking station the internal iPod® battery will be recharged automatically. You can even choose to wake up to your iPod® in the morning.

The digital tuner automatically scans the AM and FM bands and locks in stations perfectly with no repetitive fine tuning required. And you can save 20 of your favorite stations (10 AM and 10 FM) in the preset tuner memory for immediate recall at the touch of a button.

Emerson’s patented SmartSet® Automatic Time Setting System automatically sets the clock to the correct Year, Month, Date, Day, and Time the first time you connect the system to your AC outlet, and after every power interruption. It even adjusts for Daylight Saving Time changes and Leap Years automatically. The unique dual alarm system allows you program one or both of the alarms for weekdays only, weekends only, or everyday operation. And you can wake to your iPod® , to the radio, or an electronic buzzer that starts softly and gradually increases in volume to wake you gently.

The clock also includes a programmable 99-minute sleep to music timer with auto shutoff and a 99-minute Nap timer that will wake you up after a nap without having to change your regular alarm settings. Of course we also included a Snooze alarm so you can catch a few extra winks after the alarm turns on in the morning, but this is not your normal Snooze control. You can activate the Snooze by pressing the Snooze button on the top cabinet or the remote control, or you can just wave your hand in front of the “TOUCHLESSSNOOZE SENSOR on the front panel.

The compact 13-key remote control lets you operate all the major functions of your system from across the room. And we have even included a stereo headphone jack and an Auxiliary Input Jack on the back panel so that you can also connect older, non-docking iPods® , MP3 players, and personal CD players.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Unpacking and Set Up

This carton contains the main unit, the remote control hand set, iPod® Support Bracket and 5 different iPod® adapters so that you can securely connect any dockable iPod® to the top mounted docking station. Remove all of the components from the carton and remove all packing materials from the components. We recommend that you save the carton and packing materials if possible in the event that your system ever needs to be retuned for service. Using the original carton and packing materials is the only way to protect you unit from damage in transit.

Remove any descriptive labels from the top or front panels of the main unit. Do not remove any labels from the back or bottom panels.

Place the main unit on a stable, level surface such as a table, desk, or shelf, convenient to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of water, moisture, heat, dust, dirt, vibration, or strong magnetic fields.

NOTE: The speakers in this system are not video shielded therefore it is not recommended to place this unit on top of your TV set. The magnets in the speakers could cause some color distortion in your TV picture.

Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. This is important. The FM antenna is built into the AC power cord and must be fully extended for 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.

Battery Back-up System

This unit includes a battery back up system powered by a built-in, long life CR2430 lithium battery. The battery maintains the time and alarm settings, the Sleep and Nap timer settings, and the preset station tuner memories as well, whenever the power is interrupted. If the power is lost the display will go off and the system will not operate. However once the power is restored the clock will again reset itself and all of your other settings will be correct.

The lithium battery that was installed in your system can supply back up memory power for up to 5 years or even longer. The actual effective life of the lithium battery will be affected by the length of time between the date the battery was installed at our factory and the date that you connected your unit to your AC outlet, and by the number and duration of the power outages that you experience in your home. To maximize the life of the back up battery this system should be connected to an AC outlet that is always ‘live’. Do not connect this system to an AC outlet controlled by a wall switch.

When the lithium battery begins to weaken, the Low Battery indicator “” will begin to flash in the display. When you see this flashing indicator you should replace the lithium battery as soon as possible. Instructions for replacing the lithium battery will be found at the end of this Owner’s Manual.

Power Source

This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only. Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system and such damage is not covered by your warranty.

NOTE: The system has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.

This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you probably have an outdated nonpolarized outlet. You should have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.

Installing The Remote Control Batteries

The remote control requires two “AAA” batteries, not included. We recommend that you use a well known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best performance.

Open the remote control battery compartment by sliding the battery compartment cover in the direction of the ‘arrow’.

Install two “AAA” batteries in the compartment according to the polarity markings inside the compartment as shown in the illustration. If the batteries are installed incorrectly the remote control will not work. After installing the batteries replace the battery compartment cover.

NOTE: When the operation of the remote control becomes intermittent or stops working completely replace the batteries as soon as possible. Never leave weak or exhausted batteries in the remote for an extended period of time. They may eventually leak and cause permanent damage to the remote control.

Battery Precautions

Replacement of batteries must be done by an adult.

Do not mix old and new batteries.

Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.

Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.

Exhausted batteries are to be removed.

Only batteries of the equivalent type are to be used.

Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.

Dispose of batteries properly. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries may explode or leak.

OPE RATIN G INST RUCTI ONS

Make sure that you have extended the AC power cord to its full length. The FM antenna is built into the power cord.

Make sure that you have installed two fresh “AAA” alkaline batteries in the remote control handset.

Setting The Time, The First Time

IMPORTANT: The first time you connect your new SmartSet® clock radio to the AC outlet the internal computer 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 Day and Time 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 — Yukon Time

ZONE 7 — Hawaiian Time

To change the default time zone display, depress the Time Zone button.

The number “02” will appear on the display indicating that the default zone is ZONE 2, Eastern Time.

Hold the Time Zone button and then press either the Tuning/Skip (Clock/Time) or buttons until your own time zone appears on the display, then release the

buttons.

The clock display will change to the correct time in the time zone you selected. The clock will always return to the correct time in the zone you selected after every power interruption. If you move to a different time zone, simply change the default zone display to the new zone and the SmartSet® will remember that setting for you.

Date Display

To see the correct date at any time, depress the Month/date button. The display changes from time to month and date (mm/dd).

For example, May 21st will appear as “5. 21”.

When you release the Month/date button the display returns to the correct time.

Year Display

To see the correct year, depress the Month/date and Time buttons together.

The display changes from time to year.

When you release the Month/date and Time buttons the display returns to the correct time.
