Using the unit

Nap Operation

Nap mode lets you set an alarm separate from the Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 settings. The nap wake to source by default is the 
buzzer alarm, but if an iPad/iPhone/iPod is docked, that will act as the alarm source. If you are listening to the radio or 
aux-in source, it will be muted and the buzzer will sound at the selected wake time.
1. Press and release the 

Nap Button

 located on top of the unit as needed to adjust the nap timer for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 

60, 90 or 120 minutes or OFF. 

2. To cancel nap mode, press and release the 

Nap Button

 until OFF is displayed. To turn off the nap alarm once it 

sounds, press the      

Button

.

Dimmer Operation

During normal operation (when no alarm is sounding), press and release the 

Snooze/Dimmer Button

 to control the 

brightness of the LCD display.

Using the unit in Other Countries

Different regions of the world use different FM radio frequency steps and ranges. You will need to select the one that 
matches the standards in your region (USA, EUROPE, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA,or CHINA). The default setting is USA; if you 
live in the US, you may skip this section.
1. Make sure the unit is OFF (not playing in any mode).  Press and hold the 

Mode Button

 for about 5 seconds until “Radio 

xxx” appears in the lower part of display. Press the 

or

 - Button

 to set the “xxx” to your region.

2. Press and release the 

Mode Button

 again (or no button within 5 seconds) to exit the radio frequency setting mode. 

We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life.

The unit comes with 2 AA back-up batteries installed to provide continuous alarm operation 
and clock settings in the event of a power failure. When the Battery Low Icon located on the 
right of the display is flashing, it is time to replace the back-up batteries. 
1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit. 
2. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected, otherwise all settings may be lost during 

battery replacement.

3. Insert 2 AA batteries, checking that the polarity (+ and – ends of the battery) matches the 

drawing  near the battery compartment. Close the compartment door.

Note: 

Make sure you dispose of batteries properly (see your local regulations).
