Ecology
Help protect the environment - we
recommend that you dispose of used
batteries by putting them into specially
designed receptacles.
Maintenance
Clean the unit with a soft cloth, or a damp
chamois leather. Never use solvents.
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.
Plugging In For Power
AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY:
120V~60Hz Note: Note: Note: Note: Note:
Power is fed to the unit even
when it is not functioning. To cut
the power supply off, the power cable
must be unplugged.
Back View
BAND - selects radio band (AM or FM).
BRIGHTNESS - adjusts display brightness (high or
low).
Before You Plug for Power
1. Setting Time Zone
You may slide the time zone selector at
the bottom of the unit to 1) Eastern,
2) Central, 3) Mountain or 4) Pacific. (refer
to the maps on the right)
2. Day Light Saving
You can press and hold the day light
saving button at the bottom of the unit to
turn on/ off in areas observing/ not
observing such time change.
WARNING: Please avoid playing with
these buttons after entering the
Clock/Alarm set mode.
Auto Clock Set
You do not have to set the clock time as a
built-in automatic time set system is
equipped in this clock powered by 3V (2
X AA batteries (included). All you have to
do is to plug this clock for power and
current time will be shown automatically.
However, the batteries can also be
exhausted and we recommend that you
replace the batteries every 2-3 years.
Switching on Radio
Press RADIO ON at the front of the unit.
Switching Band
Slide the BAND switch on the side of the
unit to select FM or AM band.
Tuning the Radio
Turn the TUNING knob on the left of the
unit to adjust radio frequency.
FM Antenna
The FM antenna cord is attached at the
back of the unit. We recommend the cord
be fully extended for best FM 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.
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.

Battery Back-Up Operation
This clock radio is equipped with a
memory holding system that can be
powered with 2 “AA” batteries (included
and installed). The power failure
protection circuit will not operate unless
battery is installed. When normal
household power is interrupted, or AC line
cord is unplugged, the batteries will
power the clock radio to keep track of
time and alarm settings programmed into
memory. When the battery backup
functions, the digital display will not light,
however, the function of alarm 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 the alarm.
Replace batteries 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. Replace 2 AA batteries.
3. Replace the compartment door.
Note: we recommend that you replace the
batteries every 2-3 years.
