Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Timex Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Redi-Set Automatic Time Setting System. The clock in this
model will set itself to the correct year, month, date, day, and time, the first time you plug it in, and after every power
interruption. The default setting is the Eastern Time zone. All you need do is set it to your own time zone once, and you may
never have to adjust it again. Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time adjustments are made automatically, through the year
2099. This model is truly the cure for the annoying “flashing 12:00” display.
This model includes a programmable dual alarm system that allows you to set one or both alarms for weekdays only,
weekends only, or everyday operation. And you can have one alarm wake you to the buzzer while the second alarm wakes
you to your favorite radio station. There is also a removable, rechargeable flashlight, a time projector, and soothing nature
sounds.
And the Sure-Alarm battery back up system will operate the buzzer alarm to wake you up even if the power is off at the
wake-up time. Best of all, with Xtreme Battery Back Up (XBBU) system the long life 3-volt lithium battery that is pre-installed
in your unit will last for 5 to 8 years before it needs to be replaced………a major money-saver compared to buying new 9-volt
batteries every 6 months. And when the 3-volt lithium battery finally does need to be replaced, a low battery indicator begins
flashing in the display.
Please read this manual completely to understand all of the great features included in your model. Please retain this manual
for future reference, and because the warranty and product service info are printed at the end of this manual.
Preparation For Use
Unpacking And Set Up
• Remove the radio and rechargeable flashlight from the carton and remove all packing materials from the radio. We
recommend that, if possible, you save the carton and packing materials in case your radio ever needs to be returned for
service. Using the original carton and packing material is the best way to protect your radio from damage in transit. If you
do dispose of the carton and packing material, please do so properly. Timex cares about our environment.
• Place the radio on a stable, level surface convenient to an AC outlet, and away from direct sunlight or sources of excess
heat, dust, moisture, or humidity.
• Place the flashlight in the charging cradle on the top cabinet. Push the back end of the flashlight against the charging
contacts until the front of the flashlight is resting against the flashlight retaining tab.
(Flashlight Retaining Tab)
• Unwind the external FM antenna on the back cabinet and extend it to its full length for best FM reception.

A
Preparation For Use
IMPORTANT! Protect Your Furniture
This radio is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the radio from moving when you operate the controls. These
‘feet’ are made from special non-migrating rubber material formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture.
However certain types of oil-based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may react with the rubber ‘feet’,
causing the rubber material to soften and leave marks or a rubber residue on wooden furniture. If you will be placing this radio
on fine wooden furniture we strongly recommend that you place a small cloth between the radio and your furniture, or that
you apply small felt pads on the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’.
Power Source
This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not attempt to
operate this radio on any other power source. You could cause damage to the radio and such
damage is not covered by your warranty.
This radio should be connected to an AC outlet that is always ‘live’. Do not connect it to an
outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. When the power to the radio is interrupted the
installed lithium battery takes over to maintain the time and alarm settings, and to operate the
buzzer alarm if the power is ‘Off’ at the wake up time. To maximize the life of the lithium
battery keep the radio connected to a ‘live’ AC outlet at all times.
This radio is equipped with a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade.
This is a safety feature designed to minimize the chance of electric shock. If this plug will not
AC Plug
fit into your existing AC outlet do not try to force it and do not try to file the wider blade to
make it fit. Contact a qualified, licensed electrician to replace your outdated outlet.
Sure Alarm Battery Back-Up System
This Timex Redi-Set Clock Radio includes a Sure-Alarm battery back-up circuit that will wake-you up even if the power is ‘off’
at the selected wake-up time. If your power is ‘off’ at the wake up time the clock display will be off and the radio will not
operate, but a separate ‘mini-buzzer’ will turn on automatically to wake you up, even if you selected the Wake To Radio
option.
The Sure-Alarm buzzer will sound for 3 minutes and then shut off automatically.
To stop the Sure-Alarm buzzer immediately, press the RADIO ON/OFF button. The SNOOZE button has no effect during
Sure-Alarm operation.
Note: In order to maximize the life of the built-in lithium battery please be sure to set the Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 switches to
the ‘OFF’ position if the radio will be disconnected from the AC outlet for more than a few hours. This will prevent the
Sure-Alarm buzzer from turning ‘On’ unnecessarily.
