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

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.

Note:Note:

Note:

It is recommended that 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 3 points marked on the Template.

Tips:Tips:

Tips:

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.

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.

First Things First

Mounting Procedure

1. If your cabinet does not have an overhang:

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.

Radio

Built-In AFC

The Built-In Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) works only on FM. It helps to reduce drift on FM reception and to keep the radio locked in on the FM station to which it is tuned.

When tuning in FM stations, you may notice that often the station you desire can be heard on two or three nearby points on the dial. Always tune carefully to the loudest and clearest point.

Antennas

AM Antenna - A built-in ferrite rod antenna

eliminates the need for an outside antenna for AM reception.

FM Antenna - The power cord acts as your FM antenna. The power cord picks up moderate to strong stations and eliminates the need for an external antenna in most strong signal areas. Be sure the power cord is stretched out to its full length. Do not coil or bunch the cord together. Changing position of the power cord may improve reception.

Troubleshooting Tips

If the remote control is not functioning properly, try seeing if it is because of any of the below problems:

• 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 or 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 of the remote control 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.0

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.

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.

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.

• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
