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
3
/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.
(c) Tape fold-down portion to backside of
overhang, Tape Template to cabinet underside.

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.

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.

Care and Maintenance
Troubleshooting Tips for
EN
the Remote Control
• Is the unit plugged into a working AC outlet?
Try plugging it into one that you know will
work.
• Is the unit on?
Press BAND RADIO ON / PLAY PAUSE
to turn the unit on.
• Have you selected the correct function when
pressing on the buttons?
For example, if the unit is in CD mode and you
try tuning to a particular radio frequency, the
remote control is not going to look like it’s
working. In such cases, press BAND RADIO ON
to select radio or PLAY PAUSE to select
CD function first, then press on the buttons.
• Are the batteries weak?
Try replacing old batteries with some fresh ones.
• Are you pointing the remote control directly at
the unit while pressing the buttons?
You should be, because the remote control
sensor at the unit is right at the center of the
display.
• Are you too far from the unit when using the
remote control?
The remote control sensor can only sense signals
(from the remote control) within a limited
distance. So move closer towards the unit.
• Are there any obstacles between the remote
control and the unit?
If there are, move all objects standing in the
way between the remote control and the unit.
Precautions
• Never open the cabinet under any
circumstances. Any repairs or internal
adjustments should be made only by a trained
technician.
•Warning: Never operate this product with the
cabinet removed.
• The CD player of this unit uses a laser to read
the music on the disc. The laser mechanism
corresponds to the cartridge and stylus of a
record player. Although this product
incorporates a laser pick-up lens, it is completely
safe when operated according to directions.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do
not use damaged, warped or cracked discs.
• Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located
inside the disc compartment. Also, to keep dust
from collecting on the pick-up lens, do not
leave the compartment door open for an
extended period of time.
11
Cleaning the Exterior
Prior to cleaning the exterior, be sure to unplug
the power cord from the AC power outlet. Wipe
the exterior with a soft, clean, and slightly waterdampened cloth.
Handling Compact Discs
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold by the
edges, or by one edge and the hole.
• Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to the label
surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the
label.
• Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do
not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Cleaning Compact Discs
• Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always
keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a
soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer
perimeter.
• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water,
wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and
then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static
agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with
benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents
which may cause damage to the disc surface.
CD Lens Care
When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the
unit to output poor sound quality. To clean the lens
you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner which
can maintain the output sound quality. For
instructions on cleaning the CD lens, refer to the
ones accompanying the lens care.
