Congratulations!

And thank you for purchasing the SmartSet

®

 Clock Radio from Emerson Research.

SmartSet

®

 is the world’s first and only LED clock radio that will automatically set

itself to the correct ‘Year’, ‘Month’, ‘Date’, ‘Day’, and ‘Time’ as soon as you plug it
in. The only thing you have to do is tell the SmartSet

®

 what time zone you are in,

and the built in computer does everything else for you immediately. And not only
the first time, but every time the power is interrupted as well.

We all know how annoying it is to wake up in the morning and see the dreaded
flashing “12:00” display on our clocks or clock radios. This means that your power
was interrupted some time during the night while you were sleeping and your clock
doesn’t know what time it is anymore. Unfortunately it probably also means that
you are late for work, or for school, again. But with your SmartSet Clock Radio the
dreaded flashing “12:00” display is a thing of the past. The SmartSet

®

 resets itself

as soon as the power is restored and gets you up on time, every time.

And if that isn’t enough, the SmartSet

®

 computer also knows when Daylight Saving

Time begins and ends and it will adjust itself for those changes automatically for
the next 99 years!  Leap Years too! And best of all, the long life lithium battery
backup battery is already installed in your radio. You don’t have to remember to put
a new 9-volt battery in your radio every 6 months. Under normal circumstances the
lithium battery can last for up to 5 years, and when it does need to be changed, a
low battery indicator will come on to let you know. The CR2430 lithium battery is
available almost anywhere that batteries are sold and it costs about the same as a
normal 9-volt battery. You can do the math yourself. Change the built in lithium
battery after 5 years, or buy a 9-volt battery when you buy your radio and every 6
months from then on. That’s a ‘no-brainer’. You’ll save so much money on batteries
it’s like getting the SmartSet radio for ‘free’.

The SmartSet

®

 also gives you dual alarms that can be set to go off on weekdays

only, weekends only, or all 7 days. You can set one alarm to wake you up to buzzer
Monday through Friday when you have to get up early, and use the second alarm
to wake you up to soft music on Saturday and Sunday when you can sleep in.
Someday all clocks and clock radios may be this smart. But today the technology
is only available from Emerson Research. Good Housekeeping magazine was so
impressed with SmartSet

®

 that it was selected for their “Good Buy 2000 Award”

as one of the seven most innovative products of the year 2000.

We’re sure you’ll be happy and amazed by your SmartSet

®

 Clock Radio, and that

it will give you many years of enjoyment and dependable service.

Once again, all of us at Emerson Research thank you for your purchase.
