Thank you…………….. For purchasing this iTone™ 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 “TOUCHLESS” SNOOZE 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.

• 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 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.

Battery Back-up System
AC Outlet
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, licens ed 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.

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, s tandard (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.

Listening To Your “Dockable” iPod® / Charging The Battery
IMPORTANT! To prevent distortion during iPod® playback you should go to the Main Menu of your iPod®, select the Settings Menu page, select the EQ Setting, and make sure that the EQ function is set to “Off”.
(Main Menu > Settings Menu > EQ Setting > Select “Off”)
This system provides an iPod® docking station on the top panel. You can connect any “dockable” iPod®, available as of January 2006, to the docking station and play your iPod® through the speakers of this system. When your “dockable” iPod is in the docking area, the power to your device is being supplied by this system, not by the iPod®’s internal battery. In addition when your iPod® is switched ‘Off’ while resting in the dock the internal iPod® battery is automatically recharged.
NOTE: To prevent any possible interference between the iPod® and the Tuner in this system, the iPod® battery circuit is automatically switched ‘Off’ while you are listening to the radio. When the radio is ‘Off’ the battery charging
circuit switches ‘On’ again automatically, regardless of whether the Power
button of this system is ‘Off’ or ‘On’.
®
Follow these steps to connect and listen to your iPod®. We recommend that you start with the power to this system switched ‘Off’:
1.) Open the docking area cover by gently pressing downward on the cover and
sliding it backward.
25
iC200_052906.p65 29/5/2006, 10:2925
2.) Select the correct adapter for your particular iPod
®
model from among the 5 different adapters included. Each adapter is engraved with the name and/or size of an iPod® model. Place the selected adapter in the docking area so that the iPod® 30-pin connector passes through the opening in the adapter.
Gently press downward on the adapter until it “clicks” and locks in place.
3.) Mount the iPod® Support Bracket on the docking station as shown.
This bracket provides support and prevents your iPod® from moving too far backward when you operate the iPod® controls.
CAUTION: You must use this support bracket with all iPod® models to prevent possible damage to the iPod® connector.
IMPORTANT iPod® nano INSTRUCTIONS!
If you are using this system with an iPod® nano you will notice that the iPod 30-pin connector on this unit is not properly aligned with the opening in the iPod® nano adapter.
Before inserting the iPod® nano adapter into the docking area you must slide the iPod® 30-pin connector to the left position, and then place the nano adapter into the docking area.
NOTE: After removing the nano adapter remember to slide the 30-pin connector back to the right position before attempting to install any other iPod
®
adapter.

4.) After installing the necessary adapter in the docking area and making sure that
it is locked in place, mount the support bracket, and then your iPod® into the adapter so that the 30-pin connector in the docking area is fully inserted into the 30-pin socket on the bottom of your iPod®.
If necessary set the HOLD switch on your iPod® to the “Off” position.
5.) Press the Power button on the top panel or remote control to turn this system
‘On’. Depending on the setting of the Back Light Timer in your iPod® the display backlighting may turn ‘On’ and the “ Charging” or “ Charged” indicator will appear in the display.
6.) Press the Function button on the
top panel or on the remote control to select the iPod function.
Your iPod® will begin to play. It may begin playback with the first song in your library in alphabetical order by song name, or if the iPod® was only shut off for short time it may begin playback of the same song that was playing before it was shut off.
NOTE: If the Power of this system is ‘On’ and the iPod function is already selected then your iPod® will begin to play as soon as it is connected to the dock, as long as the iPod® HOLD switch is ‘Off’. If your iPod® enters the Pause
mode when you connect it to the dock, press the Play/pause button to begin playback.
27
iC200_052906.p65 29/5/2006, 10:2927
7.) Once the iPod® is playing you can use the navigation controls on the iPod® to
select among the menu items as usual. However you can only adjust the volume level by using the Volume +/– controls on the top panel or remote control of this unit. The click wheel volume control on the iPod® cannot be used to control the speaker volume level of this system.
8.) To skip or search forward or back to the next or previous song you can use
the Tuning/Skip or buttons on the top panel or the / buttons on the remote control.
9.) The Play/pause buttons on the top panel of this system and the remote
control have the same function as the Play/Pause button on your iPod®. Press once to begin playback. Press again to pause playback. Press and hold to shut the iPod® ‘Off’.
10.) When you have finished listening to your iPod® you may press the Function
button to switch to the TUNER function. Your iPod® will shut off automatically. You may also press the Power button to shut this system ‘Off’. Your iPod®
will shut off and the recharging circuit turns on automatically. If you remove your iPod® from the docking connector we suggest that you
close the docking compartment cover again to keep dust and other foreign objects out of the docking area.

IMPORTANT: Before connecting your headphones, set the Volume control to a low level. Then connect your headphones, put them on and gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.
Remember that music files can often contain very loud passages as well as softer passages. It is a good idea to adjust the listening level during a louder passage so that you are not surprised by a sudden, uncomfortable increase in the headphone sound.
iC200_052906.p65 29/5/2006, 10:2939

Changing The Lithium Battery
Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A number of factors, such as, the length of time between the date the radio was manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first time determine the amount of time before replacement.
During this initial storage period, the lithium battery is supplying power to the SmartSet® computer memory. Once you plug the radio in, your household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is not being used.
A fresh lithium battery can supply power to the SmartSet® computer for at least 3 years even if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your radio was connected to your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and you experience only the normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions, your battery may last for up to 5 years or even longer.
When the battery power drops below a certain level, the “ ” indicator will ‘flash’. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as it is convenient for you to do so. To change the battery proceed as follows:
1.) Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold. The
battery type is CR2430 or equivalent.
2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.
IMPORTANT: Leave the radio power cord connected to your AC outlet. This will provide power to the SmartSet® computer memory while the original lithium battery is removed.
3.) Turn the radio face up and use a small screwdriver to remove the screw securing
the battery holder to the cabinet.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THIS SMALL SCREW!
40
iC200_052906.p65 29/5/2006, 10:2940
4.) Remove the original battery from the holder and insert the new battery into the
holder the same way, observing the positive (+) direction. Slide the holder with the new battery back into the slot in the cabinet.
5.) Replace the screw that secures the battery holder in the cabinet.
6.) Turn the radio right side up and confirm that the “ ” indicator goes
‘Off’.
7.) Save these instructions. You’ll have to do this again five to eight years from
now!

iC200_052906.p65 29/5/2006, 10:2941
Resetting The Clock After A Total Memory Loss
If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time after you see the flashing “ ” warning indicator, the lithium battery may become ex hausted and will no longer be able to supply back up power to the
SmartSet® internal computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after the battery is exhausted, or if a
power interruption oc curs, the SmartSet® memory will be lost and the clock will need to be reset when the power is restored. Be sure to install a fresh lithium battery before you reset the clock, otherwise the clock will need to be reset each time the power is interrupted.
If the lithium battery is exhausted and you experience an interruption in the AC power supply, the clock will reset itself to its initial default setting when the power is restored.
The initial default setting is “AM 12:00, Saturday, January 1st (1. 01), 2005”. If you notice that the time on your SmartSet® clock radio is completely incorrect,
and the day indicator is also wrong, press the Month/date button to see the date.
If the date display is showing “1. 01” (January 1st), you probably experienced a total memory loss.
To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows:
1.) Follow the instructions on pages 40-41 and install a new CR2430 lithium battery
in the battery compartment.
2.) Connect the radio to your AC outlet and let the clock set itself.
3.) Depress the Month/date and Time buttons together. The display will change
from ‘Time’ to ‘Year’. While holding the Month/date and Time buttons, press the Tuning/Skip
button to set the display to the correct year if neces sary, then release the buttons.
42
iC200_052906.p65 29/5/2006, 10:2942
4.) Depress the Month/date button. The display will change from ‘time’ to ‘month/
date’ (mm/dd). While holding the Month/date button, press the Tuning/Skip button to set
the dis play to the correct Month and Date. The Day indicator will change automatically as you adjust the month/date settings. When the correct Month and Date appear on the display, release the buttons.
5.) Depress the Time button and the Tuning/Skip button to set the display to
the correct Time. Be sure to confirm that you have set the time correctly to ‘AM’ or ‘PM’ by observing the AM indicator.
6.) After you set the time, reconfirm that the Day, and Month/Date displays are still
correct. Make final adjustments if necessary.
The SmartSet® clock memory is now reset and the new lithium battery will maintain it for the next 5 to 8 years, depending on the number and duration of the power outages you experience.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
After resetting the clock, don’t forget to reset your wake up times, and alarm mode settings, and sleep timer s ettings as well.

iC200_052906.p65 29/5/2006, 10:2943
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
If the cabinet becomes dusty, wipe it with a soft cloth. If the cabinet becomes smudged or dirty, clean it with a soft, slightly dampened cloth. Never allow water or any liquid to get inside the cabinet.
Never use any abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads as these will damage the finish of your unit.
Lithium Battery Precautions
• Dispose of the old battery properly. Do not leave it lying around where a young
child or pet could play with, or swallow it. If the battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately.
• Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not attempt to recharge it or disassemble
it. Do not dispose of the old battery in a fire.
