PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking and Set-Up
• The display carton contains the main unit, the AC power cord, and 5 separate
dock adapters for use with older iPod® models. Make sure that all the
components are removed from the carton and that nothing is accidentally
discarded. We recommend that you save the carton and packing materials in
the event that your unit even needs to be returned for service. Using the original
carton and packing materials is the only way to protect your unit from damage
during shipment. If you do dispose of the carton of the carton and packing
materials please do so properly and recycle. Emerson cares about our
environment.
• Open the clear protective cover and remove the ‘dummy iPod’ from the iPod
compartment.
Power Source
This system is designed to operate on 6 “C” batteries or 120V 60Hz AC house
current.
In addition, 2 “AAA” back-up batteries are required to maintain the clock, alarm
and tuner preset station memories in the event that the primary power supply is
interrupted.

Installing The Batteries
There are two battery compartments on the back cabinet. Remove the battery
compartment covers by pressing down on the ‘arrow’ marks and sliding the covers
downward in the direction of the arrows as shown.
Install 6 “C” batteries in the main compartment as shown. Place the battery ribbon
into the compartment before inserting the batteries to make removing the batteries
easier.
(2 “AAA” Batteries)
(6 “C” Batteries)
Install 2 “AAA” batteries in the back up battery compartment as shown in the above
illustration.
NOTE: If the back-up batteries are not installed, the clock, alarm, and tuner
memories will have to be reset after every power interruption.
We recommend that you always use a well-known brand of alkaline batteries for
longest life and best performance. Be sure to install the batteries correctly, according
to the polarity markings engraved on the cabinet. If the batteries are inserted
incorrectly the unit will not work.

Replacing The Batteries
When the sound of the system becomes weak or distorted during battery operation
it is probably time to replace the 6 “C” batteries. The life expectancy of the batteries
depends on a number of factors including the temperature and the volume level at
which the system is operated. If the system is always played at or near the maximum
level, the batteries will become exhausted faster than if the system is played at low
to medium volume levels. Be sure to replace all 6 batteries at the same time and
do not mix different types of batteries, such as carbon-zinc, alkaline, and lithium
together.
If the system will not be used for periods of a few weeks or longer, it is a good idea
to remove the 6 “C” batteries. If exhausted batteries are left in the battery
compartment they may eventually leak, and the corrosion from leaking battery
fluid may cause damage to your unit. Corrosion damage from leaking batteries is
not covered by your warranty.
The 2 “AAA” back up batteries are only supplying power to the clock and tuner
memories so they will last longer than the 6 “C” batteries. We recommend replacing
the 2 “AAA” batteries every 12 months.
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 rec hargeable (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.

Power Source
AC Outlet
AC Plug
AC Outlet
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 matc hing 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.
AC Plug
Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prev ent 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 s often, 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.
