Always dispose of old batteries promptly and
properly. Do not bury or burn them.

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

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or
rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of
different capacities.

• If you do not plan to use the clock radio for a
week or more, remove the batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can destroy
electronic parts.

Installing Batteries

To avoid losing memory and alarm settings, turn
off the radio before replacing the batteries and
replace the batteries within 30 seconds.

Listening to Your Radio

The AM antenna is built-in. To improve the AM
reception, rotate the clock radio.

• Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high volume listening
can lead to permanent hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over a period of time, your
ears adapts to the volume level, so a
level that does not cause discomfort
might still damage your hearing.

Do not wear earphones while operating a

create a traffic hazard, and could be illegal in

Even though some earphones let you hear
