Using the “Snooze” Feature
To temporarily “snooze” the alarm, press the (-) button while the alarm is
operating (beeping, radio on or light flashing). The light, audible alarm or radio
will stop immediately, but will come on again in 10 minutes.
Activating the Sundown Sequence
Manually turn the light on to the intensity from which you wish the sundown to
start. Push the ALARM (
☼
) button up (on) to begin the sundown sequence. If
the light is at full intensity, the sun will “set” at the programmed speed. If it is
less than full brightness, it will set faster than the programmed speed.
Turning the Radio On or Off
Push the RADIO VOLUME/TUNING up arrow button (
▲
) to turn the radio on
and increase its volume. The display will read “VOLUME 1” through
“VOLUME 14”. Use the RADIO VOLUME/TUNING down arrow button (
▼
)
to reduce the volume or turn the radio off. You can also turn on the radio by
holding one of the preset buttons down. NOTE: The radio volume will be
louder if the clock is sitting on a hard surface close to you and will be softer if
on a soft material farther away from you.
Tuning the Radio
First, turn the radio on, and then push the RADIO TUNING button (
√
\/). At this
point, the display will change from showing time of day to showing the radio
station frequency. Use the RADIO VOLUME/TUNING arrow buttons (
▲
) and
(
▼
) to adjust the radio to your chosen station. A few seconds after you are done
tuning the arrow buttons will again control radio volume, and soon the display
will revert to showing the time of day. NOTE: Placement of the antenna can
affect the tuning and clarity of the radio station.
Using the Preset Stations
When you push button (1), the lower display will read “P1” with the frequency
of the preset station, e.g., “P1 88.5”. If you wish to change the preset station,
follow the radio tuning procedure to go to the station of your choice, and then
hold the button down for a few seconds until the lower display reads “P1” with
the new station frequency.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The light will not come on, but the clock still works.
Solution: Check to be sure the bulb is fully screwed into the socket. Look at the
bulb and see if the filament is broken. If it is, replace the bulb.
Problem: Neither the light nor the clock is working.
Solution: First, make sure there is power at the outlet by plugging in another
appliance or trying the clock at another outlet. Next, unplug the clock from the
wall for several seconds and plug it in. NOTE: By holding in the PROGRAM
(P) button while doing this, you will reset the clock to the default settings.
Setting the Time
Make sure the ALARM (
☼
) button is pressed down (off). Press the
PROGRAM (P) button twice. The display should read “SET CLOCK”. Then
use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the time. The time moves rapidly if (+) or
(-) button is held in.
Programming Wake up Features
Waking to the SunRise
The light will begin to gradually illuminate before your set wake-up time. The
Sunrise Radio is preset for a 30 minute wake-up sequence. This means the light
will begin illumination 30 minutes before your set alarm time and gradually get
brighter until it reaches full brightness at the set alarm time. To alter the wake-
up sequence length, press the PROGRAM (P) button until the Display reads
“SUNRISE 30”. Press the (+) or (-) button, and the display will alternate
between “SUNRISE 15" (15 minutes), “SUNRISE 30" (30 minute sunrise—
Default), “SUNRISE 45” (45 minutes), or “SUNRISE 60" (60 minutes).
Waking up to the Alarm Beeper
The audible alarm begins with a quiet beep, and gradually intensifies to full
volume over a period of time. The alarm beeper, shown as the symbol ))
)
, is
preset ON. To disable the audible beeper, make sure the ALARM (
☼
) button is
pushed DOWN (off). Press the PROGRAM (P) button 5 times until the display
reads, “BEEP ON” or “BEEP OFF”. Then press the (+) or (-) button to
alternate between the two. When the unit switches to “BEEP OFF”, the ))
)
symbol will no longer be displayed. NOTE: When the beeper is deactivated, the
radio wake feature will automatically come on.
