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:

Before you begin

Refer to the “Clock” section and follow the instructions to get the clock time shown correctly with the Auto Clock set feature.

Battery back-up operation

This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered with 2 “AA” batteries (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.

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. Insert 2 AA batteries (included).

3. Replace the compartment door.

Note: we recommend that you replace the batteries every year.

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 readjust the time and alarm settings.

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