PREPARATION FOR USE
UNPACKING AND SET UP
• Carefully remove the main unit and the accessories from the display carton
and remove all the packing material from the unit.
• Carefully remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to
prevent the CD door from opening in transit.
• Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. The FM antenna
is built into the AC power cord.

This dummy CD prevents the laser pick up from moving during shipment.
This card must be removed before you can insert your own CDs. Press
on the CD door in the area marked ‘OPEN’. Remove the transit card from
the CD player and discard it.
• Place the unit on a flat, level surface such as a table, desk, counter, shelf,
etc, convenient to a 120V 60Hz AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away
from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or strong magnet fields.

BATTERY BACK UP SYSTEM
This model includes a battery back up circuit that will maintain the clock and alarm
settings in the event of a temporary power interruption. The battery back up system
requires one 9-Volt battery, not included. The battery compartment is located on
the back of the cabinet.
1.)Press downward on the battery door locking tab and remove the door.
2.)Attach a fresh 9-Volt alkaline battery to the battery contacts as shown, and
push the battery back into the battery compartment.
3.)Replace the battery door.
If the power is interrupted the display will go off and the radio will not work. However
the battery will maintain the clock and alarm settings in memory. When the power
is restored the display will come on again and the clock and alarm settings will be
correct.
The life of the battery will depend on the frequency and length of the power
interruptions that you experience. For best results we suggest you install a fresh
battery every 9 to 12 months. Always use a well-known brand of alkaline battery.

POWER SOURCE
AC Outlet
This radio is designed to operate on 120V 60Hz AC only. Attempting to operate
this radio on any other power source could cause damage to the unit and such
damage is not covered by your warranty.
Make sure the radio is connected to an AC outlet that is always “live”. Do not
connect the radio to an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
NOTE: This unit has a polarized AC plug
with one wide blade and one narrow blade.
This plug will only fit into a matching
polarized AC outlet. This is a safety feature
to reduce the possibility of electric shock.
If this plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you
probably have an outdated non-polarized
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.

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 c leaning 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.
