Battery back-up operation

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

No worry battery backup

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.

(disconnected) for a short period
of time, both time and alarm
settings will change (unless

WARRANTY ARE GOVERNED
BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF INDIANA. EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT PROHIBITED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE ON THIS PRODUCT IS
LIMITED TO THE APPLICABLE
WARRANTY PERIOD SET FORTH
ABOVE.

How state law relates to this
warranty:

• Some states do not allow the
exclusion nor limitation of
incidental or consequential
damages, or limitations on
how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitations
or exclusions may not apply to
you.

• This warranty gives you specifi c
legal rights, and you also may
have other rights that vary
from state to state.

If you purchased your product
outside the USA:

• This warranty does not apply.
Contact your dealer for
warranty information.

Switching on

Press RADIO ON to turn on the
radio.

Switching band

Slide the BAND/AM•FM switch on
the right of the unit to select AM
or FM band.

Tuning radio

Rotate the TUNING dial on the
right of the unit to select 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
reducing drift on FM reception
and keeping the radio locked in
on the FM station to which it is
tuned.

When tuning in FM stations, you
may notice that the station you
are tuning can be well-tuned on
two or three nearby points on the
dial. Always tune carefully at the
loudest and clearest point.

Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/
IEC 6LR61) battery is
recommended. Carbon­zinc 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.
