It is important to read this user manual prior to using your new product for the fi rst time.
Nous vous recommandons de lire ce manuel d’instructions avant d’utiliser votre
nouveau produit pour la première fois.
Refer to the “Clock” section and
follow the instructions to set the
clock.
Battery back-up operation
• This clock radio is equipped with
a memory holding system that can
be powered with a 9-volt alkaline
battery (not included). The power
failure protection circuit will not
operate unless battery is installed.
• When normal household power
is interrupted, or AC line cord
is unplugged, the batteries will
power the clock radio to keep
track of time and alarm settings
programmed into memory.
• When the battery backup functions,
the digital display will not light,
however, the function of alarm
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 the alarm.
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.
2. Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery
(not included) 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 batteries are
installed). After AC power is restored
(reconnected), the Digital Display
will blink to indicate that power was
interrupted and you should re-adjust
the time and alarm settings.
General controls
Setting clock
1. Press and hold TIME.
2. Press HRS or MIN to set the clock
time.
• AM indicator lights when the time is
set to AM.
• PM indicator lights when the time is
set to PM.
3. To save and exit the clock setting,
release TIME.
Radio
Selecting radio mode
Slide ON/OFF/RADIO(WAKE)/
ALARM(WAKE) to ON to switch on
radio. Slide to OFF to switch off radio.
Switching band
Slide the band switch AM/FM to select
FM or AM band.
Tuning the radio
Rotate the TUNING knob on the
right of the unit to adjust the radio
frequency with reference to the tuning
dial scale. Note that the unit of AM
frequency shown on the tuning knob
“x10kHz 170” is equivalent to 1700 kHz.
Built-in AFC
The Built In Automatic Frequency
Control (AFC) works only on FM. It helps
reducing drift on FM reception and
keeping 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.
Setting wake time
1. To set time for alarm, press and
hold ALARM SET/OFF and press
HRS or MIN simultaneously.
2. To save and exit the alarm setting,
release ALARM SET/OFF.
Selecting wake source
You may be woken up by radio or
alarm.
1. Set a wake time (see above
instructions).
2. Slide ON/OFF/RADIO(WAKE)/
ALARM(WAKE) to RADIO or
ALARM to select a waking mode
(by radio or alarm).

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.

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
