Using the Unit
Nap Operation
Nap mode lets you set an alarm separate from the Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 settings. The nap wake to source by default is the 
buzzer alarm, but if an iPhone/iPod is docked (no other source is playing), that will act as the alarm source. If you are 
listening to the radio or aux-in source, it will be muted and the buzzer will sound at the selected wake time.
1. Press and release the 
Nap Button located on top of the unit as needed to adjust the nap timer for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 
60, 90 or 120 minutes or OFF. 
2. To cancel nap mode, press and release the 
Nap Button until OFF is displayed. To turn off the nap alarm once it 
sounds, press and release the     
Button.
Dimmer Operation
During normal operation (when no alarm is sounding), Press and release the 
Snooze/Dimmer Button to control the 
brightness of the LCD display.
Using the unit in Other Countries
Different regions of the world use different FM  and AM (MW) radio frequency steps and ranges. You will need to select 
the one that matches the standards in your region (USA, EUROPE, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA,or CHINA). The default setting 
is USA; if you live in the US, you may skip this section.
1. Make sure the unit is OFF (not playing in any mode).  Press and hold the 
Mode Button for about 5 seconds until “Radio 
xxx” appears in the lower part of display. Press and release the 
or - Button to set the “xxx” to your region.
2. Press and release the 
Mode Button again (or no button within 10 seconds) to exit the radio frequency setting mode. 
Two beeps will confirm radio frequency setting. 
We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life.
The unit comes with 2 AA back-up batteries installed to provide continuous alarm operation 
and clock settings in the event of a power failure. When the Battery Low Icon on the display 
is flashing, it is time to replace the back-up batteries. 
1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit. 
2. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected, otherwise all settings may be lost during 
battery replacement.
3. Insert 2 AA batteries, checking that the polarity (+ and – ends of the battery) matches the 
drawing  near the battery compartment. Close the compartment door.
Note: Make sure you dispose of batteries properly (see your local regulations).
