• Do not use your set immediately after transport from a cold place to
a warm place: there may be condensation problems.
• This set uses a laser beam. To prevent any accident due to this type
of beam, the set should only be opened by properly-trained
personnel.
• Make sure that you keep your set away from water and high temperatures.
• If you do not use your set on battery power for more than one month, we advise
you to take out all the batteries.
• To prevent personal injury, do not reverse any battery and do not mix battery
types.

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 Alarm to Radio or
Alarm to CD is activated during power interruption, Alarm 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.
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: NOTE:
NOTE: Alkaline (6LR61/NEDA 1604A) batteries are recommended. Carbon-zinc
NOTE: NOTE:
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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Handling Compact Discs
• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the hole.
• Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to the label surfaces. Also, do not scratch or damage the
label.
• Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Cleaning Compact Discs
• Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a
soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.
• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently,
and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with
benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.
CD Lens Care
When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the unit to output poor sound quality. To clean the
lens you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner which can maintain the output sound quality. For
instructions on cleaning the CD lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens care.
Cleaning the Exterior
Prior to cleaning the exterior, be sure to unplug the power cord from the AC power outlet. Wipe
the exterior with a soft, clean, and slightly water-dampened cloth.
Precautions
• Never open the cabinet under any circumstances. Any repairs or internal adjustments should be
made only by a trained technician.
• Warning: Never operate this product with the cabinet removed.
• The CD player of this unit uses a laser to read the music on the disc. The laser mechanism
corresponds to the cartridge and stylus of a record player. Although this product incorporates a
laser pick-up lens, it is completely safe when operated according to directions.
• Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use damaged, warped or cracked discs.
• Do not touch the pick-up lens which is located inside the disc compartment. Also, to keep dust
from collecting on the pick-up lens, do not leave the compartment door open for an extended
period of time.
