This equipment complies with the limits
for a Class B digital device as specified
in Part 15 of

FCC Rules

provide reasonable protection against
radio and TV interference in a
residential area. However, your
equipment might cause TV or radio
interference even when it is operating
properly. To eliminate interference, you
can try one or more of the following
corrective measures:

• reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna

• increase the distance between the
equipment and the radio or TV

• use outlets on different electrical
circuits for the equipment and the
radio or TV

Consult your local RadioShack store if
the problem still exists.

• To prevent electric
shock, do not use this

• Your clock radio’s
power cord has a
polarized plug that fits
into the outlet only
one way. If the plug
does not fit properly,
turn it over and try
again. Do not force it.

• Use only a fresh
battery of the required
size and
recommended type.

If AC power fails, the clock radio has a
backup power system that continues to
operate the clock for up to 8 hours with
the display turned off to conserve
power. This lets the alarm sound for at
least 10 minutes at the preset time,
even if AC power fails.

Your clock radio requires a 9-volt
battery (not supplied) for its backup
power system. For the best
performance and longest life, we
recommend a RadioShack alkaline
battery.
