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.

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.

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.
