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.

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 interrup-
tion 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.

To install the battery:
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.

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 recom-
mended. 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 the Radio
Press the ON/OFF button on the top 
of the unit to turn on the radio. Press 
again to turn off the radio.

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

Tuning to stations
Turn 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 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 to reduce drift on FM recep-
tion and to keep the radio locked in on 
the FM station to which it is tuned.
