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.

Some of the following information may not apply to your particular product; however, as with any electronic product, precautions should be observed during handling and use.

• Before using the product, please follow and adhere to all warnings, safety and operating instructions located on the product and in the user book. Save all instructions for future reference.

• Do not expose product to rain and do not use near water; such as, sink, wet basement, swimming pools, etc.

• Always leave sufﬁ cient space around the product for ventilation. Do not place product in or on a bed, rug, bookcase or cabinet that may prevent air ﬂ ow through vent openings.

• Do not expose product to extreme temperatures such as found near a hot radiator or stove, or in a car parked in the Summer sun.

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

• Some products employ a polarized AC line plug (one blade is wider). This is a safety feature. The plug will go in the power outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t go into the outlet completely, turn the plug over and put it in the other way. If it still doesn’t ﬁ t, contact a qualiﬁ ed electrician to change the outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• Route power cord to prevent it from being pinched, or walked on, or melted by a hot stove or radiator.

• To clean cabinet, unplug AC power cord, then use a soft cloth dampened only with water.

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

• Unplug AC power cord from outlet during a lightning storm or when product is left unused for a long period of time to prevent damage due to lightning or power line surges.

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

• Never add accessories that the product has not been designed to accommodate.

• Use only the manufacturer’s approved mounting instructions and hardware when installing product.

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

• Do not handle the unit or power cord when your hands are wet or damp

• Carts and Stands — The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

• An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven

surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

• Damage Requiring Service –This product should be serviced by qualiﬁ ed service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the

plug has been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has

been spilled into the product; or

C. The product has been exposed to

rain; or

D. The product does not appear

to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

E. The product has been dropped,

or the cabinet damaged.

• When service or repairs are completed, ask the service technician to perform the safety check described in the service manual and to conﬁ rm that replacement parts have the same safety characteristics as the original parts.

• Overloading - Do not overload the wall outlets, extension cords or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of ﬁ re or electric shock.

• IF YOUR PRODUCT OPERATES ON BATTERIES, adhere to the following precautions:

A. Any battery may leak electrolyte

if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, or if all batteries are not replaced at the same time.

B. Any battery may leak electrolyte

or explode if disposed of in ﬁ re or

an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

C. Discard leaky batteries immedi-

ately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury. When discarding batteries, be sure to dispose of them in the proper manner, according to provincial and local regulations.

Plugging in for power

AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY: 120V~60Hz

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.

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

Battery back-up operation

The power failure protection circuit will not operate unless battery is installed.

When the battery backup functions, the digital display will not light, however, the wake function 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 wake.

Install battery as follow:

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 battery (not supplied) 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 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.

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.

Turning on/off

• Slide the selector to ON on the top of the unit to turn on the radio.

• To turn off, slide the selector to OFF.

Selecting bands

Slide the BAND switch on the side of the unit to select between AM and FM bands.

Tuning to stations

Rotate the tuning knob on the side of the unit to tune up and down radio frequency.

Antennas

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.

FM Antenna – The power cord acts as your FM antenna. The power cord picks up moderate to strong stations and eliminates the need for an external antenna in most strong signal areas. Be sure the power cord is stretched out to its full length. Do not coil or bunch the cord together. Changing position of the power cord may improve reception.

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