POWER SOURCE

This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not

attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage

to the radio that 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 built in lithium battery takes over to maintain the time and alarm

settings. To maximize the life of the lithium battery keep the radio connected to a

‘live’ AC outlet at all times.

You will note that this system is equipped with

a polarized AC power plug having one blade

wider than the other. This is a safety feature. If

this plug does not fit into your existing AC outlet,

do not try to defeat this safety feature by filing

the wide blade to make it fit into your outlet. If

this plug will not fit into your outlet, you probably

have an out-dated non-polarized AC outlet. You

should have your outlet changed by a qualified

licensed electrician.

SURE ALARM BATTERY BACK-UP SYSTEM

This SmartSet

Clock Radio includes a Sure Alarm battery back-up circuit that can

wake you up even if the power is ‘Off’ at the selected wake up time. If your power

is ‘Off’ at the selected 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 had selected the “Wake to Radio” option. The Sure Alarm will sound for

30 seconds and then shut off automatically.

To stop the Sure Alarm buzzer immediately, press the

RADIO ON/OFF

button.

Pressing 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 from turning ‘On’ unecessarily.
