FCC 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.

In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Thomson Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this product.

This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference to radio and television reception.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by turning the equipment off and on), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is "receiving" the interference).

• Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.

• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, "How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

For Your Safety

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC power outlets one way. If the plug will not go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert it the other way. If it still will not fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one.

Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

3 — 2 3/4" Phillips head screws

3 — 1 5/8" Phillips head screws

USE:

3 — Washers

Before Mounting

Empty contents of the selected cabinet under which the unit will be mounted and thoroughly clean the underside of the cabinet to remove any grease residue which might be present. We recommend the unit be mounted at the front edge of the cabinet.

Important: For secure mounting, the screws must go into the radio to a depth of at least

/8". If the overall length from the bottom of the cabinet shelf to the bottom of the overhang is more than 1 3/4", then a wood shim will be necessary. A shim can be made from a sheet of plywood, using the Template to locate the central lines for drilling the 1/4" mounting holes. The shim can be located between the cabinet shelf bottom and spacers. Make sure the wood is at least as thick as the excess over 1 3/4" If a shim is necessary, longer screws are required. Longer screws (Type #10-32) are available at most local hardware stores. Cut out the Template on the line indicated. The Template size and screw hole positions are identical to the top of the clock radio.

First Things First

Mounting Procedure

1. If your cabinet does not have an overhang:

(a) Position Template in desired location on

underside of cabinet, flush with front edge.

(b) Then tape Template in place, and go to Step 2

(Read “Caution”).

FRONT EDGE

OF CABINET

If your cabinet has an overhang:

(a) Measure the thickness of the overhang. (b) Fold front of Template downward along the

printed guideline that is closest to the thickness of your cabinet.

NOTE: NOTE:

NOTE: If your cabinet has glue blocks or

other obstructions, cut out corresponding areas on the Template to clear them. Do not cut out or cut through the screw holes indicated on the Template.

CAUTION:CAUTION:

CAUTION: It is recommended that

CAUTION:CAUTION:

safety glasses be worn while drilling screw holes to prevent the possibility of eye injury.

2. Drill 1/4 -inch diameter holes through the underside of the cabinet bottom shelf using the three points marked on the Template.

Helpful Hints:

On wooden cabinets you may want to mark

and start the drill holes with a nail or an awl.

Be sure to hold the drill very firmly against the

cabinet to reduce “walking” of the drill bit from the markings. Use masking tape above the hole locations on inside of wooden cabinet shelf to help reduce splintering. If installing the unit under a wood cabinet, you may wish to countersink the drilled hole from the INSIDE of the cabinet if a countersink attachment for your drill is available. This will eliminate the use of washers and allow the screw heads to be flush with the floor of your cabinet. If you cannot countersink the holes, use the supplied washers.

First Things First

3. Remove Template and clean drill shavings from

inside and underside of cabinet.

4. If your cabinet does not have an

overhang, go to Step 5. If your cabinet has an overhang, select the

spacer or combination of spacers that is equal to or longer than the cabinet overhang.

SELECTED SCREWS WHICH MEET MINIMUM,

BUT DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM LENGHT.

5. Insert screws FROM INSIDE THE CABINET. The washers must be used on metal cabinets, and on wood cabinets if you did not countersink the drilled holes. Position washers, flat side down, and place screws into the holes.

If your cabinet does not have an overhang, go to Step 7.

6. Hold screw heads down while you push the selected spacers onto the screws under the cabinet. Be sure to push up spacers until they are firmly against the cabinet bottom and/or fully nested (if more than one is used).

7. Align radio under the screws. Hold the screw holes in the top of the clock radio against the mounting screws and partially tighten the screws. Do not fully tighten until all 3 screws have been started. (The top front edge of the clock radio should clear the overhang.)

8. Extend cord towards electrical outlet and secure by using the Cord Hooks to hold cord out of the way. For most attractive appearance, place Cord Hooks at back edge of cabinet (on or next to wall) directly over outlet to be used. To attach Cord Hooks, peel off adhesive back and attach to a clean, dry surface on underside of cabinet or back wall. Plug Cord into 120-volt AC electrical outlet. We recommend that the line cord be fully extended for best FM reception.
