It is important to read this user manual prior to using your new product for the fi rst time.

Nous vous recommandons de lire ce manuel d’instructions avant d’utiliser votre 
nouveau produit pour la première fois. 

Refer to the “Clock” section and 
follow the instructions to set the 
clock.

Battery back-up operation

•  This clock radio is equipped with 

a memory holding system that can 
be powered with a 9-volt alkaline 
battery (not 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 battery:

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.  Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery 

(not included) to the connector 
plug.

3.  Replace the compartment door.

Power failure indicator

When AC power is interrupted 
(disconnected) for a short period of 
time, both time and alarm settings 
will change (unless batteries are 
installed). After AC power is restored 
(reconnected), the Digital Display 
will blink to indicate that power was 
interrupted and you should re-adjust 
the time and alarm settings.

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.

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.

Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/
IEC 6LR61) battery is 
recommended. Carbon-zinc 
battery may be used but memory 
holding time will be substantially 
reduced. Memory holding time 
for a fresh alkaline battery is 
approximately 8 hours (if radio 
or alarm are not operated) which 
should take care of short, nuisance-
type AC power failures. To preserve 
battery life, the unit should remain 
plugged into an AC outlet. As the 
battery gets older, its voltage drops 
and memory may be lost. Be sure 
to replace the battery periodically. 
Battery should be removed if the 
unit will be stored for more than 
one month. Leaky battery can 
badly damage the clock radio.

obstructed OR should be easily 
accessed during intended use.

•  The ventilation should not be 

impeded by covering the ventilation 
openings with items such as 
newspaper, table-cloths, curtains etc.

•  No naked fl ame sources, such as 

lighted candled, should be placed

reinforced insulation 
so it does not require 
a safety connection to 
electrical earth (US: 
ground). 

Plugging in for power

AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY: 
120 V ~ 60 Hz

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 different 
one.  Do not attempt to bypass this 
safety feature.

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.

particular installation. If this equipment 
does cause harmful interference to 
radio or television reception, which 
can be determined by turning the 
equipment off and on, the user is 
encouraged to try to correct the 
interference by one or more of the 
following measures:
•   Reorient or relocate the receiving 

antenna.

•   Increase the separation between the 

equipment and receiver.

•   Connect the equipment into an 

outlet on a circuit different from 
that to which the receiver is
