It is important to read this user manual prior to using your new product for the fi rst time.

Nous vous recommandons de lire ce manuel d’instructions avant d’utiliser votre
nouveau produit pour la première fois.

Plugging in for power

• Connect the supplied power adapter
to the unit’s AC IN jack at the back,
and connect to a convenient wall
outlet.

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

Battery back-up operation

• This clock radio is equipped with
a timekeeping 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 be lost (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

To set the clock:

1. Slide the / WAKE 1 / WAKE 2
/ switch to to enter the clock

setting mode.

2. Press or to set the time.

• Press and hold to decrease or
increase the time value quickly.

• The “:” fl ashes on the display in
clock setting mode.

3. Slide the / WAKE 1 / WAKE 2 /

switch to .

• The clock is in 12 hour
format. The AM indicator
lights to show AM time.

• The clock time blinks
if it is not set or after power
interruption (without back-up
battery installed).

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 alarm
is not operated) which should
take care of short, nuisance-type
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.
