such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifi ers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has

two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third
prong is provided for your safety. If

apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories
specifi ed by the manufacturer.

• Use only with
the cart, stand,
tripod, bracket,
or table
specifi ed 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.

• Unplug this apparatus during
lightning storms or when unused
for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualifi ed
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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION

the product for ventilation. Do
not place product in or on a bed,
rug, in a bookcase or cabinet that
may prevent air fl ow through vent
openings.

• Do not place lighted candles,
cigarettes, cigars, etc. on the
product.

• Connect power cord only to AC
power source as marked on the
product.

• Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall into the product.

• Do not attempt to disassemble
the cabinet. This product does
not contain customer serviceable
components.

• The marking information is located
at the bottom of apparatus.

• To be completely disconnect the
power input, the mains plug of
apparatus shall be disconnected
from the mains.

• Mains plug is a disconnect device.
The mains plug should not be
obstructed OR should be easily
accessed during intended use.

• The ventilation should not be

impeded by covering the ventilation
openings with items such as
newspaper, table-cloths, curtains etc.

• No naked fl ame sources, such as
lighted candled, should be placed
on the apparatus.

• Attention should be drawn to the
environmental aspects of battery
disposal.

• The use of apparatus in moderate
climates.

This is class II
equipment designed
with double or
reinforced insulation
so it does not require
a safety connection to
electrical earth (US:
ground).

Plugging in for power

AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY:
120 V ~ 60 Hz

The AC power plug is
polarized (one blade is
wider than the other)
and only fi ts into AC
power outlets one
way. If the plug will

not go into the outlet
completely, turn the plug over and try
to insert it the other way. If it still does
not fi t, contact a qualifi ed electrician
to change the outlet, or use a different
one. Do not attempt to bypass this
safety feature.

Important battery
precautions

• Any battery may present a risk of
fi re, explosion, or chemical burn
if abused. Do not try to charge a
battery that is not intended to be
recharged, do not incinerate, and
do not puncture.

• Non-rechargeable batteries, such as
alkaline batteries, may leak if left in
your product for a long period of
time. Remove the batteries from the
product if you are not going to use
it for a month or more.

• If your product uses more than one
battery, do not mix types and make
sure they are inserted correctly.
Mixing types or inserting incorrectly
may cause them to leak.

• Discard any leaky or deformed
battery immediately. They may
cause skin burns or other personal
injury.

• Please help to protect the
environment by recycling or
disposing of batteries according to
federal, state, and local regulations.

WARNING: The battery (battery or
batteries or battery pack) shall not
be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fi re or the like.

Ecology

Help protect the environment - we
recommend that you dispose of used
batteries by putting them into specially
designed receptacles.

Before you begin

Clock

Refer to the “Clock” section and
follow the instructions to set the
clock.

Battery back-up operation

• This clock radio is equipped with
a memory holding system that can
be powered with a 9-volt alkaline
battery (not included). The power
failure protection circuit will not
operate unless battery is installed.

• When normal household power
is interrupted, or AC line cord
is unplugged, the batteries will
power the clock radio to keep
track of time and alarm settings
programmed into memory.

• When the battery backup functions,
the digital display will not light,
however, the function of alarm
still occurs during the power
interruption if remaining battery
power is adequate.

• Normal operation will resume after
AC power is restored so you will not
have to reset the time or the alarm.

To install the battery:

1. Remove battery compartment door
(located at the bottom of the radio)
by applying thumb pressure to the
tab on battery door and then lift
the door out and off the cabinet.

2. Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery
(not included) to the connector
plug.

3. Replace the compartment door.

Power failure indicator

When AC power is interrupted
(disconnected) for a short period of
time, both time and alarm settings
will change (unless batteries are
installed). After AC power is restored
(reconnected), the Digital Display
will blink to indicate that power was
interrupted and you should re-adjust
the time and alarm settings.

General controls

Setting clock

1. Press and hold TIME.

2. Press HRS or MIN to set the clock
time.

• AM indicator lights when the time is
set to AM.

• PM indicator lights when the time is
set to PM.

3. To save and exit the clock setting,
release TIME.

Radio

Selecting radio mode

Slide ON/OFF/RADIO(WAKE)/
ALARM(WAKE) to ON to switch on
radio. Slide to OFF to switch off radio.

Switching band

Slide the band switch AM/FM to select
FM or AM band.

Tuning the radio

Rotate the TUNING knob on the
right of the unit to adjust the radio
frequency with reference to the tuning
dial scale.

Built-in AFC

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

When tuning in FM stations, you may
notice that the station you are tuning
can be well-tuned on two or three
nearby points on the dial. Always tune
carefully at the loudest and clearest
point.

AM antenna

A built-in ferrite rod antenna eliminates
the need for an outside antenna for
AM reception. Rotating the unit slightly
may improve reception of distant AM
stations.

Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/
IEC 6LR61) battery is
recommended. Carbon-zinc
battery may be used but memory
holding time will be substantially
reduced. Memory holding time
for a fresh alkaline battery is
approximately 8 hours (if radio
or alarm are not operated) which
should take care of short, nuisance­type AC power failures. To preserve
battery life, the unit should remain
plugged into an AC outlet. As the
battery gets older, its voltage drops
and memory may be lost. Be sure
to replace the battery periodically.
Battery should be removed if the
unit will be stored for more than
one month. Leaky battery can
badly damage the clock radio.

Note: This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.

• Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is
connected.

• Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
