USING THE CLOCK, ALARM AND SLEEP TIMER FEATURES

1 2

This can be done with the radio on or off. The YB400PE’s
clock is a 24 hour clock only, eg. 6 o’clock in the morning
will read as 6:00; 6 o’clock in the evening will read as
18:00. There are two clocks, TIME I and TIME II. Select
one or the other by pressing the TIME 1/2 button. TIME I
or TIME II shows in the display at top center. Set the time
using the examples below:

EXAMPLE 1: If it is 06:00 hours press 6 . 0 0, then
immediately press the TIME 1/2 button.

EXAMPLE 2: If it is 15:32 hours press 1 5 . 3 2, then
immediately press the TIME 1/2 button.

HOW TO SET THE ALARM CLOCK

The alarm time is shown in the upper left corner of the display,
under “ON TIME”, when the radio is off.

To set the alarm to activate at 6:30 am:

1. Press 6 . 3 0 (be sure to include the decimal point).

2. Immediately press and release the ON TIME button.

3. Select the alarm mode using the AUTO button.

HOW TO CONTROL THE ALARM CLOCK

• Press the AUTO button several times, while looking at the

upper left corner of the display.

• The “musical note” symbol wakes you to the radio

playing the last station it is set to.

• The “bell” symbol wakes you to the beeper sound.

• When both symbols disappear and –;— appears,

THE ALARM IS DEACTIVATED.

HOW TO USE THE ALARM CLOCK’S
SNOOZE FEATURE (button on top of radio)

Once the alarm has activated, you can get 5 minutes more
sleep by briefly pressing the SNOOZE button. You can
repeat this as many times as you like. By pressing the
SNOOZE button for more than 2 seconds, you can com-
pletely shut off the alarm.
