TELEPHONE MEMORY OPERATION
When storing a number, a momentary delay may be needed in
the dialing sequence for a stored telephone number. This is
generally used when a “PAUSE” is needed to wait for a dial tone
(e.g. after dialing a long distance access number). The REDiAL
button should be pressed at the point where a pause is needed
in the dialing sequence. During storage, pushing the REDIAL
button serves to store a pause in the dialing sequence as often
Note: The REDIAL key will place a pause in the dialing sequence
anytime it is pressed sfier disling a number. When storing PAUSE
in MEMORY, each PAUSE counts as one stored digit.
Mem.ory a.nd Redial may require the use of a “PAUSE” when
initially dialing or storing outside numbers. The sequence, then,
for dialing or storing an outside number would be, for example:
9 REDIAL 123-4567
How to Change a Stored Number
Repeat the storage sequence. The new number will replace the old
number at the memory location.
How to Clear a Stored Number
Repeat the storage sequence. Skip step 3 in the sequence (i.e. do
not enter a telephone number). The storage location will be blank
when sequence is completed.

INTERFERENCE INFORMATION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used

POWER CORD acts as your FM antenna. The

eliminates the need for an external antenna in most strong

Install battery as follows:
1. Remove battery compartment door (located on bottom of radio)
by applying thumb pressure to area indicated on battery door
and then sliding door off cabinet.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery connector. The power failure protection
circuit will not operate unless battery is installed.
3. Insert battery in compartment and replace compartment door.
Note: Alkaline battery, NEDA 1604A, is recommended for memory
holding time. Carbon-zinc battery (NEDA 1604) may be used but
memory holding time will be substantially reduced.
Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 6
hours (if radio or alarm are not operated), which should take care of
short, nuisance-type AC power failures. To preserve battery life, the

battery periodically. Battery is not included with this clock radio.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove battery when storing the set. Battery
will be drained if left connected when set is unplugged. A leaky battery
