IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This unit has been designed and manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use

can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. Please read all the safety and operating

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

unit and in the instructions and service manuals.
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.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation

1. Remove the unit and all packing materials from the carton.You should save the packing

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.

A cloth or other protective material should be placed between it and the furniture.

3. Clean your unit with a soft cloth moistened only with mild soap and water. Stronger

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.
