FCC Information
FCC Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Thomson multimedia Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this product. This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference to radio and television reception. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by unplugging the unit), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is “receiving” the interference).
• Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits. If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
For Your Safety
The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits 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 fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.
For Your Records
In the event that service should be required, you may need both the model number and the serial number. In the space below, record the date and place of purchase:

Battery Back-Up Operation
This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered with a 9-volt 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 battery 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 be backlighted, 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.
Install battery as follows:
1. Remove battery compartment door (lo­cated at the bottom of the radio) by ap­plying thumb pressure to area indicated on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery to the connec­tor plug.
3. Insert battery in the compartment and 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 optional battery is installed). After AC power is restored (reconnected), the Digi­tal Display will blink to indicate that power was interrupted and you should readjust the time and alarm settings.
Note: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A / IEC 6LR61) battery is
recommended. Carbon Zinc (NEDA 1604 / IEC 6F22) bat-
tery may be used but memory holding time will be substan-
tially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 8 hours (if radio or alarm is not operated), which should take care of short, nuisance-type AC power failures. To preserve battery life, the radio should remain plugged into an AC outlet. As batteries get older, their voltage drops and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the battery periodically. Battery should be removed if the radio will be stored for more than one month. Leaky batter­ies may badly damage the clock radio.
