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.

If you set Sleep function 
with low volume level 
before going to bed, we 
advise using Wake to alarm 
mode.

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 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.

Display brightness

Clock time and radio frequency 
are displayed on the display area 
at the front of the unit. You 
can adjust the brightness of the 
display by rotating BRIGHTNESS 
on the back of the unit.

Setting clock
Turn the clock setting knob       on 
the back of the unit to adjust 
clock time. The time decrements 
or increments will follow by a 
faster rate when you turn and 
hold the knob. The digital clock 
shows and a clock icon fl ashes 
on the display while you are

Selecting between 
analogue and digital clock
Press DISPLAY to select between 
analogue and digital clock display.

Switching on/off
Press   to turn on or off the radio.

Switching band
Slide the BAND AM/FM switch on 
the back of the unit to select FM 
or AM band.

Tuning radio
Turn the TUNING knob on the 
left of the unit to adjust 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 
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.

Auxiliary input

Adjust the auxiliary 
device to mid-range 
volume and adjust the 
master volume by rotating 
VOLUME knob on the unit. 
Do not turn the volume of the 
auxiliary device too high as this 
may affect the sound quality. 
For other playback operations, 
control them on your auxiliary 
device.

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.
