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 bat-

tery immediately. They may cause
skin burns or other personal injury.

• Please help to protect the environ-

ment by recycling or disposing of
batteries according to federal, state,
and local regulations.

Some of the following information may
not apply to your particular product;
however, as with any electronic product,
precautions should be observed during
handling and use.
• Before using the product, please

follow and adhere to all warnings,
safety and operating instructions
located on the product and in the
user book. Save all instructions for
future reference.

• Do not expose product to rain and

do not use near water; such as, sink,
wet basement, swimming pools, etc.

• Always leave suffi cient space around

the product for ventilation. Do
not place product in or on a bed,
rug, bookcase or cabinet that may
prevent air fl ow through vent open-
ings.

• Do not expose product to extreme

temperatures such as found near
a hot radiator or stove, or in a car
parked in the Summer sun.

• Connect power cord only to AC

power source as marked on the
product.

• Some products employ a polarized

AC line plug (one blade is wider).
This is a safety feature. The plug
will go in the power outlet only
one way. If the plug doesn’t go into
the outlet completely, turn the plug
over and put it in the other way. If
it still doesn’t fi t, contact a qualifi ed
electrician to change the outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.

• Route power cord to prevent it

from being pinched, or walked on,
or melted by a hot stove or radiator.

• To clean cabinet, unplug AC power

cord, then use a soft cloth damp-
ened only with water.

• Do not place lighted candles, ciga-

rettes, cigars, etc. on the product.

• Unplug AC power cord from outlet

during a lightning storm or when
product is left unused for a long pe-
riod of time to prevent damage due
to lightning or power line surges.

• Care should be taken so that objects

do not fall and liquids do not spill
into the product.

• Never add accessories that the

product has not been designed to
accommodate.

• Use only the manufacturer’s ap-

proved mounting instructions and
hardware when installing product.

• Do not attempt to disassemble

the cabinet. This product does not
contain customer serviceable compo-
nents.

• Do not handle the unit or power

cord when your hands are wet or
damp

• Carts and Stands —

The appliance should
be used only with a
cart or stand that is
recommended by the
manufacturer.

• An appliance and cart combination

should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven

surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.

• Damage Requiring Service –This

product should be serviced by quali-
fi ed service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the
plug has been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has
been spilled into the product; or

C. The product has been exposed to
rain; or

D. The product does not appear
to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or

E. The product has been dropped,
or the cabinet damaged.

• When service or repairs are com-

pleted, ask the service technician to
perform the safety check described
in the service manual and to
confi rm that replacement parts have
the same safety characteristics as
the original parts.

• Overloading - Do not overload the

wall outlets, extension cords or inte-
gral convenience receptacles as this
can result in a risk of fi re or electric
shock.

• IF YOUR PRODUCT OPERATES ON

BATTERIES, adhere to the follow-
ing precautions:

A. Any battery may leak electrolyte
if mixed with a different battery
type, if inserted incorrectly, or if all
batteries are not replaced at the
same time.

B. Any battery may leak electrolyte
or explode if disposed of in fi re or

an attempt is made to charge a bat-
tery not intended to be recharged.

C. Discard leaky batteries immedi-
ately. Leaking batteries can cause
skin burns or other personal injury.
When discarding batteries, be sure
to dispose of them in the proper
manner, according to provincial and
local regulations.

WAKE

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.

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.

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.

Turning on/off

• Slide the

selector to ON
on the top of
the unit to turn
on the radio.

• To turn off,

slide the
selector to OFF.

Selecting bands

Slide the BAND switch
on the side of the unit to
select between AM and
FM bands.

Tuning to stations

Rotate the tuning knob
on the side of the unit to
tune up and down radio
frequency.

Antennas

AM Antenna – A built-in ferrite
rod antenna eliminates the need
for an outside antenna for AM re-
ception. 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. Chang-
ing position of the power cord
may improve reception.

Built-In AFC – The Built-In Au-
tomatic Frequency Control (AFC)
works only on FM. It helps to
reduce drift on FM reception and
to keep the radio locked in on the
FM station to which it is tuned.
