MANUAL SETTING

The display HI/LO DIMMER BUTTON (#19) is located on the back of
the unit. Pressing it will toggle between bright and dim backlight
options for the display.

USING SMART TALK™

1.  Start by saying the trigger word 

“Smart Talk” 

or press the Snooze

  Bar (#11).
2.  The unit will reply 

“Yes”

 and will wait for your next command.

3.  Say

 “Display”

 and the unit will reply 

“Say Display Low or Display

  High”.

4.  Say 

“High”

 or

 “Low” 

to set the display brightness accordingly. You

  can also say the command “Cancel” and the display will stay at it’s
  current setting.
5.  If you do not say the command word correctly, the unit will prompt
  you to repeat or start all over again.

DIMMER CONTROL

After you have installed backup batteries and connected the unit to AC
power source for the first time, we recommend you to press the RESET
Button (#15) at the bottom of the cabinet to correctly initialize it.

RESETTING THE UNIT

E-20

2.  Press the ON/OFF BUTTON (#12) to turn on the radio.  It will
  automatically switch to Line In mode when a suitable stereo cord is
  correctly connected.
3.  Start playing your external audio device.
4.  Slowly increase the volume control of the unit until the desired level
  is obtained.  To avoid output sound distortion due to overloading,
  you may need to lower the volume output of your audio device.
  Note: the stereo music from your audio device will be converted to
  a monaural audio output.
5.  Turn off your external audio device first when you finish listening.
6.  Then unplug the stereo cord from the LINE IN JACK (#18) and
  normal radio reception will resume.
