Important battery
precautions
• Any battery may present a risk of
fi re, explosion, or chemical burn
if abused. Do not try to charge a
battery that is not intended to be
recharged, do not incinerate, and
do not puncture.
• Non-rechargeable batteries, such
as alkaline batteries, may leak if left
in your product for a long period
of time. Remove the batteries from
the product if you are not going to
use it for a month or more.
• If your product uses more than
one battery, do not mix types
and make sure they are inserted
correctly. Mixing types or inserting
incorrectly may cause them to leak.
• Discard any leaky or deformed
battery immediately. They may
cause skin burns or other personal
injury.
• Please help to protect the
environment by recycling or
disposing of batteries according to
federal, state, and local regulations.

Plugging in for power
AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY:
120V~60Hz
• The AC power plug is
polarized (one blade
is wider than the
other) and only fi ts
into AC power outlets
one way.
• If the plug will not go into the
outlet completely, turn the plug
over and try to insert it the other
way.
• If it still does not fi t, contact a
qualifi ed electrician to change the
outlet, or use a diff erent one.
• Do not attempt to bypass this
safety feature.
• Power is fed to the unit even when
it is not functioning. To cut the
power supply off , the power cable
must be unplugged.
Top and front
Display
• The default sleep time is
90 minutes.
• The radio will be
switched on once
SLEEP
is
pressed.
• If you set Sleep function with
low volume level before going
to bed, we advise using the
Wake to Alarm mode.
Battery back-up operation
• This clock radio is equipped with a
memory holding system that can
be powered with 2 “AA” batteries
(included).
• The power failure protection circuit
will not operate unless battery is
installed.
• When normal household power
is interrupted, or AC line cord
is unplugged, the batteries will
power the clock radio to keep
track of time and alarm settings
programmed into memory.
• When the battery backup
functions, the digital display will
not light, however, the function of
alarm still occurs during the power
interruption if remaining battery
power is adequate.
• Normal operation will resume after
AC power is restored so you will
not have to reset the time or the
alarm.
To install the batteries:
1. Remove battery compartment
door (located at the bottom of the
radio) by applying thumb pressure
to the tab on battery door and
then lift the door out and off the
cabinet.
2. Insert 2 AA batteries (included).
3. Replace the compartment door.
Note: we recommend that you replace
the batteries every year.
Power failure indicator
When AC power is interrupted
(disconnected) for a short period of
time, both time and alarm settings
will change (unless battery is
installed). After AC power is restored
(reconnected), the Digital Display
will blink to indicate that power was
interrupted and you should readjust
the time and alarm settings.

Antennas
• AM
Antenna
– A built-in ferrite rod
antenna eliminates the need for an
outside antenna for AM reception.
Rotating the unit slightly may
improve reception of distant AM
stations.
•
FM Antenna
– The power cord
acts as your FM antenna. The
power cord picks up moderate
to strong stations and eliminates
the need for an external antenna
in most strong signal areas. Be
sure the power cord is stretched
out to its full length. Do not
coil or bunch the cord together.
Changing position of the power
cord may improve reception.
•
Built-In AFC
– The Built In
Automatic Frequency Control
(AFC) works only on FM. It helps
reducing drift on FM reception and
keeping the radio locked in on the
FM station to which it is tuned.
When tuning in FM stations, you
may notice that the station you
are tuning can be well-tuned on
two or three nearby points on the
dial. Always tune carefully at the
loudest and clearest point.
