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.

13. Damage Require Service - The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or plug has been damaged.

B. Objects have fallen into or liquid has been spilled into the enclosure.

C. The unit has been exposed to rain.

D. The unit has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

E. The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

14. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in the user’s

operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

15. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service telchnician

to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

16. Antenna - Do not connect to an external antenna.

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.

3. After activating the backup (see below) and reading the Maintenance notes, plug the

AC cord into an outlet.

"Sure Alarm" Battery Backup Installation

It is recommended that 2 “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. The Battery Low Indicator flashes when there is not enough
power to run the backup.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the battery

compartment door.

2. Install 2 “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.

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.
