Thank You… … … …
For purchasing this Emerson Research Stereo CD Clock Radio with the patented SmartSet® automatic time setting system. As soon as you plug-in your radio for the first time, and after every power interruption, the clock will automatically set itself to the correct, year, month, date, day, and time. It will also automatically adjust itself for all Daylight Saving Time changes, through the year 2099.
There are dual alarms that can be set and used independently. The alarms can be set for weekdays only, weekends only or everyday operation. You can wake to an electronic buzzer tone, your favorite AM or FM station or a specific track on your favorite CD. There’s a programmable 99-minute sleep timer that allows you to fall asleep to up to 99 minutes of music and then shuts the power off automatically.
A programmable 99-minute nap timer lets you wake up after a nap without disturbing your normal alarm settings.
The CD player has a 20-track programmable memory and repeat playback. It will also play CD-R and CD-RW discs in addition to normal CDs. The digital tuning stereo receiver locks in your favorite stations perfectly and stores up to 20 stations (10 AM and 10 FM) in memory for immediate recall.
This model also includes a dual battery back up system. There’s a built in CR2430 lithium battery that will maintain the time and alarm settings for up to 5 years or longer, depending on the frequency and length of the power interruptions you experience in your home. We’ve also provided a Sure Alarm battery back up system that will activate the alarm even if the power of off at your wake up time. The Sure Alarm circuit requires a 9-Volt battery, not included.
The time, radio frequency, and CD track number all appear on a large super bright LED display that is easily readable from anywhere in your room. And of course we’ve included a dimmer switch in case you want to reduce the display brightness for sleeping.
With so many useful features packed into such a compact unit it’s imperative that you read this Owner’s Manual carefully and completely.

PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking and Set-up
•Remove the unit from the shipping carton and remove all packing material from the unit. Please save the carton and packing material if possible in the event that your unit ever needs to be returned for service. Using the original carton and packing materials is the only way to protect your unit from damage in transit.
•Carefully remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to keep the CD door closed during shipment.
•Press on the CD door in the area marked OPEN/CLOSE to open the door. Inside the CD compartment you will see a white “dummy CD” transit protection card. This card prevents the laser pick-up from moving during shipment and it must be removed before you can load your own CDs. Carefully remove this transit protection card and discard it.
•Note the serial number on the bottom of your CD clock radio and write this number in the space provided on Warranty page of this manual.
•Place the unit on a stable, level surface such as a table, desk, shelf, stand, etc, out of direct sunlight and away from sources of excess heat, dust, vibration, moisture, or humidity, and convenient to a 120V 60Hz AC outlet.
•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.
Battery Back-up Systems
This model has two separate battery back up systems. There is a built in 3-Volt CR2430 long life lithium battery that will maintain the clock settings, the alarm settings and the tuner preset memory settings. The lithium battery may last for up to five years or even longer, depending on the frequency and length of the power interruptions that you experience in your home. If AC power is interrupted the display will go off but the lithium battery will continue to power the clock. When AC power is restored the display comes on again and all your settings are correct.
We have also provided a separate Sure-Alarm battery back up circuit that requires a 9-Volt battery, not included.
If you install a 9-Volt battery, the buzzer alarm will operate in BUZZER or RADIO mode, even if the power is off at the selected wake-up time.

Low Battery Indicator
The Low Battery indicator “
” only appears in the main display when the unit is in the power ‘Off’mode.
• If you install a 9-Volt battery in the Sure Alarm circuit as described above, the Low Battery indicator disappears.
• If the Low Battery indicator remains ‘On’, this indicates that either you have not installed the 9-Volt battery, or that the 9-Volt battery is exhausted and needs to be replaced.
• If the Low Battery indicator flashes, this indicates that the 3-Volt lithium battery is getting weak and should be replaced as soon as possible.
Instructions for changing the lithium battery will be found on page 32 of this 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 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 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•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 a fresh 9-Volt battery in the Sure Alarm circuit if you want the Sure Alarm battery back up circuit to operate. If you do not install a 9-Volt battery the Low Battery indicator will remain ‘on’, but this will not affect any other functions or operation of this product.
•Make sure that you have removed the “dummy CD” transit protection card from the CD compartment.
A Word About The 
And 
Controls
In order to minimize the number of controls on this model a few of the controls perform more than one function.
For example, the 
and 
buttons on the top panel perform the following functions:
•When pressed together with the TIME ZONE button, the 
and 
buttons allow you to select a lower or higher numbered time zone.
•When pressed together with the TIME button, the 
and 
buttons adjust the time display backward or forward.
•When pressed together with the ALM 1 or ALM 2 buttons, the 
and 
buttons adjust the wake up time display backward or forward.
•When pressed together with the MONTH/DATE button, the 
and 
buttons adjust the Month and Date display backward or forward.
•When pressed together with the TIME and MONTH/DATE buttons, the 
and 
buttons adjust the year display backward or forward.
•When pressed together with the SLEEP or NAP buttons, the 
and 
buttons adjust the amount of Sleep Time or Nap Time display down or up.
•In Tuner mode (AM/FM) pressing the 
and 
buttons moves the tuner display down or up to lower or higher numbered frequencies.
•In CD mode pressing the 
and 
buttons allows you to skip to lower or higher numbered tracks, or to search backward or forward within a track to locate a specific musical passage.
All of the functions of the 
and 
buttons will be fully explained in the appropriate sections of this manual.
