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 different 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.

If you set Sleep function
with low volume level
before going to bed, we
advise using Wake to alarm
mode.
Battery back-up operation
The power failure protection
circuit will not operate unless
battery is installed.
When the battery backup
functions, the digital display will
not light, however, the wake
function 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
wake.
Install battery as follow:
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 battery (not
supplied) 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
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.
Auxiliary input
Adjust the auxiliary
device to mid-range
volume and adjust the
master volume by rotating
VOLUME knob on the unit.
Do not turn the volume of the
auxiliary device too high as this
may affect the sound quality.
For other playback operations,
control them on your auxiliary
device.

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.
