and keep lighting up. 

•  When the AC power is 

disconnected, all wake mode will

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.

No worry battery backup
•  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.

Antenna
Built-in AFC
•  The Built-in Automatic Frequency 

Control (AFC) works only on FM. It 
helps reduce drift on FM reception 
and keep 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.
