interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to 
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•	 Reorient	or	relocate	the	receiving	antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•	 Consult	the	dealer	or	an	experienced	radio/TV	technician	for	help.
WARNING:	Changes	or	modifications	to	this	unit	not	expressly	approved	by	the	party	responsible	for	compliance	could	
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
Warnings:
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
• The AC adapter is used as disconnect device and it should remain readily operable during intended used. In order to
disconnect the apparatus from the mains completely, the AC adapter should be disconnected from the mains socket
outlet completely.
• Minimum 10 cm (4 inches) distances around the apparatus for sufficient ventilation.
• Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
• The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items such as newspaper, table-cloths,
curtains, etc.
• No naked flame sources such as lighted candles should be placed on the apparatus.
• The apparatus and AC adapter shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on apparatus and AC adapter.
On Operation
Do not turn up the volume while listening to your iPod with no audio signals or very low level inputs. If you do so, the
speakers may be damaged when the peak level of the sound is played.
On Use
Never use the unit where it would be subject to:
- Heat sources such as radiators or air ducts.
- Direct sunlight.
- Excessive dust.
- Moisture or rain.
- Mechanical vibration or shock.
- Uneven surface.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the unit.
• When the unit is used with an AC power adapter, do not wrap the unit in a cloth, blanket, etc.. If you do so, the
temperature inside and outside the unit may rise considerably, resulting in malfunctioning of the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, the moisture may
condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not operate. In this case, remove the disc and
leave the unit in a warm place for several hours until the moisture evaporates.
• For the unit to operate at its best, it should not be subject to temperatures below 41°F (5°C) or above 95°F (35°C).

CAUTIONS:
•	 Before	use,	make	sure	the	rated	voltage	of	the	adapter	matches	your	local	voltage.
•	 If	you	are	not	going	to	use	the	unit	for	a	long	time,	disconnect	the	AC	adapter	from	the	wall	outlet.
•	 Whenever	the	AC	adapter	is	plugged	in	to	a	wall	outlet,	electricity	is	running	through	the	unit,	even	when	the	power	
button on the unit is turned off.
Power Back-Up During Power Interruption
Before	inserting	batteries,	you	need	to	plug	the	AC	adapter	in	to	a	wall	outlet.
Open	the	battery	door	at	the	bottom	of	the	unit	and	insert	two	“AA	size”	batteries	into	the	battery	
compartment. 
We	recommend	you	install	two	“AA	size”	batteries	(not	included)	for	the	power	back-up	function.	
If	the	AC	power	supply	is	interrupted,	the	batteries	supply	power	to	keep	the	clock	operating	
and the alarm times set.
•	 During	power	interruption,	the	clock	function	is	still	maintained.	The	alarm	sound	will	not	come	
on.
• These batteries are for clock operation and alarm memory during power interruption. You can
not listen to the radio/iPod using battery power.
When to Replace the Batteries
To	check	the	batteries’	condition,	unplug	the	AC	adapter	from	the	wall	outlet	and	plug	it	in	again	after	a	few	minutes.	If	
the displayed time is incorrect, replace the batteries with new ones.
WARNINGS:
•	 Danger	of	explosion	if	batteries	are	incorrectly	replaced.	Replace	only	with	the	same	or	equivalent	type.
•	 Be	sure	to	install	the	batteries	before	unplugging	the	AC	adapter.
•	 When	the	unit	is	going	to	be	left	unplugged	for	a	long	time,	remove	the	batteries	to	avoid	undue	battery	discharge	and	
unit damage from battery leakage.
•	 Do	not	dispose	of	battery	in	a	fire;	battery	may	explode	or	leak.	
•	 Do	not	mix	old	and	new	batteries.
•	 Do	not	mix	alkaline,	standard	(carbon-zinc),	or	rechargeable	(ni-cad,	ni-mh,	etc)	batteries.
CAUTION:	When	discarding	batteries,	environmental	problems	must	be	considered	and	local	rules	or	laws	governing	the	
disposal of these batteries must be strictly followed.
Using the AC Adapter
This AC adapter operates on AC 120V ~ 60Hz.

* SEE GRAPHIC SyMBOlS ON THE BOTTOM OF UNIT *
The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol, within
the equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user
to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude	to	cause	an	electric	shock.
The	exclamation	point	within	the	equilateral	triangle	is	
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
this owner's guide.
This symbol indicates that this product incorporates double insulation between the hazardous mains
voltage and user accessible parts.
