instructions carefully before installation and use. Keep these instructions handy for future
reference. Take special note, adhere to all warning, and always follow the instructions on the

1. Water and Moisture - The unit should not be used near water. For example: near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
2. Ventilation - The unit should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere
with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or
similar surface that may block ventilation openings. Also, it should not be placed in a built-
in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the
ventilation openings.
3. Heat - The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
4. Power Sources - The unit should be connected to a power supply only of the type
described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
5. Grounding or Polarization - This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). As a safety feature this plug will
fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
6. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. It is always best
to have a clear area from where the cord exits the unit to where it is plugged into an AC
outlet.
7. Cleaning - Unplug this product from the well outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
8. Non-Use Periods – The power cord of the unit should be unplugged from the outlet
when it is to be left unused for a long period of time.
9. Objects and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids
are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
10. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer
as they may cause hazards.
11. Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
12. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

materials in case unit needs to be returned for service. If you do not wish to save the
materials, please dispose of them properly.
2. Place the unit on a stable, level surface, close to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight,
and away from sources of dust, dirt, heat, water, moisture, vibration, and strong
magnetic fields.
"Sure Alarm" Battery Backup Installation
The Battery Low Indicator flashes when there is not enough power to run the backup.
It is recommended that 3 “AA” batteries be installed into the unit, as directed below, to
activate the “Sure Alarm” battery backup feature. In the event that the AC power cord
is disconnected or a power failure or other interruption occurs, the “Sure Alarm” system
will maintain clock and alarm settings for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarm
will sound at the set time (Note: while operating on battery power, all set alarms will sound
as a buzzer). When power is restored, the clock will cease using battery power, and will
again operate on AC power.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the battery
compartment door.
2. Install 3 “AA” batteries (alkaline batteries are
recommended for longer life) into the battery
compartment, making sure that the + and – polarities
match up with the diagram printed inside the
compartment.
Note: Do not replace batteries without AC plugged in,
otherwise you will loose the clock settings.
3. Close the battery compartment door and tighten the
screw. Gently return the clock radio to its upright
position.
Maintenance
1. Place the unit on a level surface away from sources of direct sunlight or excessive heat.
2. Protect your furniture when placing your unit on a natural wood and lacquered finish.

cleaning agents, such as Benzine, thinner or similar materials can mar the surface of
the case.
4. If the unit is not to be used for a prolonged period, such as a month or longer, remove
the batteries to prevent possible corrosion. Should the battery compartment become
corroded or dirty, clean the compartment thoroughly and replace the batteries.
