GETTING STARTED
• This HD Radio System operates from AC120V/60Hz line power supply.
• The Remote Control operates on 1 Lithium battery, CR2025 (Included).
Insert the AC plug into a standard 120V AC outlet as shown in the diagram
on this page. The Radio will automatically go into standby mode.
Power Source
Note:
The system has an AC plug and will only t into matching AC outlets. This
is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If the plug will
not t in your AC outlets, you should have the outlet changed by a qualied,
licensed electrician. Do not use an adapter to make the plug t into your
outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.
The clock radio uses a backup battery system to provide continuous alarm operation and clock settings
in the event of a power failure. If the Backup Battery has been installed and a power failure occurs or the
DC cord is accidentally disconnected, the display will not remain lit, but the current time and alarm time
settings will be temporarily maintained. Otherwise, you must reset the time and alarm settings.
1. Make sure the AC power is connected. Otherwise all settings may be lost during battery replacement.
2. Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit.
3. Attach a 9V battery to the connector and insert into the battery compartment.
4. Close the compartment cover.

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 cleaning 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 ne
wooden furniture.
Protect your Furniture

2. Point remote control toward the front of the main unit. The eective range of the remote is about
19 ft from the remote sensor and within an angle of about 45° from the front of the unit.
