OUR

AFETY

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and
only fits into AC power outlets one way. If the plug won’t go into the
outlet completely, turn the plug over and try to insert it the other way. If it
still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to change the outlet, or use a
different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

ACKUP

This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system powered by a
9-volt alkaline battery (not included).

When power is interrupted or the AC line cord is unplugged, the battery
will power the clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings
programmed into memory. Should WAKE TIME occur during the power
interruption, the radio will operate or the alarm will sound if remaining
battery power is adequate. Normal operation will resume after AC power
is restored. When on battery power, the digital display will not light.

Install battery as follows:

1. Unlatch and lift off battery compartment door (located on bottom of

radio).

2. Connect a 9-volt battery.

3. Insert battery in compartment and replace compartment door.

UILT

AFC

The Built-In Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) works only on FM. It
helps keep the radio locked on the FM station to which it is tuned.

When tuning in FM stations, you may notice that often the station you
desire can be heard on two or three nearby points on the dial. Always
tune carefully to the loudest and clearest point.

NTENNAS

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 to its full length. Do not coil or bunch the cord together.
Changing position of the power cord may improve reception.

FCC I

NFORMATION

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to

the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation.
In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications not

expressly approved by Thomson Consumer Electronics could void the

user’s authority to operate this product.
This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not

installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference to

radio and television reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception

(which you can determine by unplugging the unit), try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:
•

Reorient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or

television that is “receiving” the interference).

•

Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.

•

Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the

equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits.

If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your

dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional

suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications Commission has pre-

pared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV Interfer-

ence Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government

Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please specify stock number 004-

000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

IMITED

ARRANTY

What your warranty covers:
• Any defect in materials or workmanship.
For how long after your purchase:
• One year.

(The warranty period for rental units begins with the first rental or 45 days from date
of shipment to the rental firm, whichever comes first.)

What we will do:
•

Provide you with a new or, at our option, a refurbished unit.

•

The exchange unit is under warranty for the remainder of the original product’s
warranty period.

How to make a warranty claim:
• Properly pack your unit. Include any cables, etc., which were originally provided with

the product. We recommend using the original carton and packing materials.

• Remove cassette tapes or CDs from unit before shipping as these will not be

returned.

• Include in the package evidence of purchase date such as the bill of sale. Also print

your name and address and a description of the defect. Send standard UPS or its
equivalent to:

Thomson Consumer Electronics, Inc.
Product Exchange Center
32 Spur Drive
El Paso, Texas 79906

• Pay any charges billed to you by the Exchange Center for service not covered by the

warranty.

• Insure your shipment in case of loss or damage. Thomson accepts no liability in case

of damage or loss.

• A new or refurbished unit will be shipped to you prepaid freight.
What your warranty

does not cover:

• Customer instruction. (Your Owner’s Manual provides information regarding

operating instructions and user controls. For additional information, ask your dealer.)

• Installation and set-up service adjustments.
• Batteries.
• Damage from misuse or neglect.
• Products which have been modified or incorporated into other products.
• Products purchased or serviced outside the USA.
• Acts of God, such as but not limited to lightning damage.

• This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which

vary from state to state.

If you purchased your product outside the USA:
• This warranty does not apply. Contact your dealer for warranty information.

NOTE:
• Alkaline batteries are recommended. Carbon-zinc batteries may be
used but memory holding time will be substantially reduced. Memory
holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 8 hours (if
Wake System is not activated). To preserve battery life, the radio
should remain plugged into an AC outlet. As the battery gets older, its
voltage will drop and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the
battery periodically.
• Be sure to remove battery when storing the unit. Battery will be
drained if left connected while the unit is unplugged, and a worn out
battery may leak chemicals which can badly damage the clock radio.
When discarding batteries, be sure to dispose of them in the proper
manner, according to your state and local regulations.
