This unit has a polarized AC plug with one wide
blade and one narrow blade. This plug will only fit
into a matching polarized AC outlet. This is a safety
feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If
this plug will not fit in your AC outlet, you probably
have an outdated non-polarized outlet. You should
have your outdated outlet changed by a qualified,
licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on
the plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit onto
your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.
PREPARATION FOR USE
UNPACKING AND SET UP
•
Place your clock radio on a level surface such as a table, desk or shelf, convenient
to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dirt,
dust, moisture, humidity, or vibration.
•
Unwind the AC power cord of the radio and extend it to its full length. The FM
antenna is built-in to this cord. It must be fully extended to provide the best FM
reception.
BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM
The battery backup system in this clock radio will maintain the time and alarm settings in
the event of a temporary power interruption. When the AC power is restored the time
and alarm settings will be correct.
The battery backup system requires two “AAA” (UM-4) batteries (not included).
We recommend that you install an alkaline battery for longest life and best performance.
NOTE: The display will not exhibit time during power failure but the clock will keep
correct time internally.
TO INSTALL THE BATTERY
•
Open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the radio by pressing the tab
in the direction of the arrow.
•
Install two “AAA” (UM-4) batteries to the battery clip in the right direction, and
replace the cover.
•
IMPORTANT:
After you reset the time, be sure to reset your alarm settings as well.
