PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking And Set Up
•
Remove the radio from the carton and remove all packing material from the
radio. We suggest that you save the packing material, if possible, in the unlikely
event that your radio ever needs to be returned for service. The original carton
and packing material is the only safe way to pack your radio to protect it from
damage in transit.
•
Remove any descriptive labels or stickers on the front or top of the cabinet. Do
not remove any labels or stickers from the back or bottom of the cabinet.
•
Note the serial number on the bottom of your radio and write this number in the
space provided on the Warranty page of this manual.
•
Place your radio on a level surface such as a table, desk or shelf, convenient
to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat,
dirt, dust, moisture, humidity, or vibration.
•
Unwind the Line cord connecting the AC adapter and extend it to its full length.
The FM antenna is built in to this cord. It must be fully extended to provide the
best FM reception.
Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
Power Source
This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not
attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage
to the radio that is not covered by your warranty.
This radio should be connected to an AC outlet that
is always 'live'. Do not connect it to an outlet that is
controlled by a wall switch. When the power to the
radio is interrupted, the built in lithium battery takes
over to maintain the time and alarm settings. To
same or
maximize the life of the lithium battery keep the radio
connected to a 'live' AC outlet at all times.

Sure Alarm battery Back-Up System
®
This SmartSet Clock Radio includes a Sure Alarm battery back-up circuit that can
you up even if the power is 'Off' at the selected wake up time. If your power is 'Off' at the
selected wake up time the clock display will be off and the radio will not operate, but a
separate mini-buzzer will turn 'On' automatically to wake you up, even if you had selected
the 'Wake to Radio' option.The Sure Alarm will sound for 30 seconds and then shut
off automatically. To stop the Sure Alarm buzzer immediately, press the RADIO ON/
OFF button.Pressing the SNOOZE button has no effect during Sure Alarm operation.
NOTE: In order to maximize the life of the built in lithium battery, please be
sure to set the ALARM 1 and ALARM 2 OFF if the radio will be disconnected
from the AC outlet for more than a few hours. This will prevent the Sure Alarm
from turning 'On' unnecessarily.
