10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not plug the power cord into an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
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.
Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by Insignia because they may cause hazards.
Water and moisture—Do not use your weatherband clock radio near water. Such as near a bath tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
Power sources—Use only the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult Insignia Technical Support or your local power company. For clock radios intended to operate from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Surge protector—We recommend the use of a surge protector for the AC power connection. Lightning and power surges ARE NOT covered under warranty for this product.
Lightning—For added protection for your weatherband clock radio during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the AC power cord from the power outlet.

Setting up your weatherband clock radio

Supplying power

Your weatherband clock radio can either be powered by plugging the radio into an AC power outlet or by installing four AA batteries (not included).

Plugging in your weatherband clock radio

To plug in your weatherband clock radio: 1 Place your weatherband clock radio in a convenient place and find
an AC power outlet within range of the power cord.
2 Plug the power cord into the AC power outlet.
Caution
To protect your weatherband clock radio during thunderstorms, unplug the AC power cord from the AC power outlet.

Installing batteries

In addition to installing four main power batteries to operate your weatherband clock radio without AC power, you can also install a backup battery (included) to provide temporary power in case the AC power fails or the optional main batteries fail. The outside temperature transmitter also requires two AA batteries (not included) to operate.
To install main power batteries: 1 Turn your weatherband clock radio around to the back, then open
the door to the battery compartment.
2 Insert four (4) AA batteries (not included) into the battery
compartment. Make sure that you match the + and – symbols on the batteries with the + and – symbols in the battery compartment.

Insignia NS-CLW01 Weatherband Clock Radio
3 Reinstall the battery compartment door and turn your
weatherband clock radio around to the normal operating position.
Caution
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:
Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
Make sure that you follow the correct polarity as
indicated in the battery compartment when installing batteries. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the clock radio.
Do not mix different types of batteries together (for
example, alkaline, rechargeable, and carbon zinc), or semi-used batteries with fresh ones.
If your clock radio is not to be used for a long period of
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be
recharged, because they can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.)
Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat, such
as sunshine, fire, or the like. Dispose of used batteries as hazardous waste.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
To install a backup battery: 1 Unplug your weatherband clock radio, then turn it around to the
back and open the door to the battery compartment.
2 Remove the four AA main batteries (if necessary), then remove
the cover of the backup battery slot by unscrewing it and lifting it out of the compartment.
Unscrew backup battery cover

clock radio around to the normal operating position.
6 Plug in your radio.
To install batteries in the outside temperature transmitter: 1 Open the battery compartment of the outside temperature
transmitter.

To mount the outside temperature transmitter: 1 Remove the mounting bracket from the transmitter, if necessary.
www.insigniaproducts.com
11
Insignia NS-CLW01 Weatherband Clock Radio
2 Place the mounting bracket in the desired location and mark the
location for the three mounting screws with a pencil.
Tip
• We recommend that you mount the transmitter on the North side
of your house, away from sources of heat or cold (such as windows or vents) and out of direct sunlight or rain.
• The range of the transmitter is 80 ft. (24.4 m) in open space. The
signal will penetrate walls, but the range will be decreased. Concrete and metal structures will further decrease the range.
• The transmitter should not be mounted on a metal surface or close
to sources of possible interference, such as cordless appliances and microwave ovens.
• The temperature transmitter should be mounted ver tically to
transmit the signal well.
• The FM antenna should be opened and the direction adjusted to
receive the best signal.
3 Start pilot holes for the screws where you marked their location.
4 Screw the mounting bracket onto the mounting location with the
three screws provided. Make sure that the screws are flush with the bracket.
5 Snap the transmitter into the mounting bracket.
