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.

AC Connections

AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY: 120V~60Hz

NoteNote

Note:

Power is fed to the unit even when it is not functioning. To cut the power supply off, the power cable must be unplugged.

Have a Blast- Just Not in Your Eardrums!

Make sure you turn down the volume on the unit before you put on headphones. Increase the volume to the desired level only after headphone is in place.

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

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.

Battery Back-Up

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 back-up battery will power the clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into memory. When the battery backup functions, 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. With battery back-up, if Wake to Radio or Wake to CD is activated during power interruption, Wake to Tone will operate instead. Wake mode will operate normally again once power is resumed.

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.

THE DIGITAL CD CLOCK RADIO

Protection against main power failures:

1. Remove battery compartment door (located on 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 connector plug. (6LR61 or NEDA 1604A)

3. Insert battery in the compartment and replace the compartment door.

NOTE: Alkaline (6LR61/NEDA 1604A) batteries are 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, 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.
