This unit employs Automatic Daylight Saving 

Time/Summer Time adjustment. The DST 

indicator appears in the display at the beginning 

of the daylight saving time (summer time), and 

disappears at the end of it.
 Daylight saving time begins at: 2:00 AM on the

Notes
 Daylight Saving Time depends on the law in 

each country/region, and your area may not use 

it. In such a case, cancel the automatic DST/

summer time adjustment before using the set 

and set the time manually as necessary.

source, the current date and time appears in the 

following order (the same as when the unit is 

powered on after a power interruption).

“month and date” (about 1 second)  “year”

surface, as this may lead to interference of 

reception.

The dual alarm function allows you to set two 

alarm programs (ALARM A and ALARM B).

The alarm time can be set for each program and 

the alarm sound is selectable from buzzer, radio 

or melody.
Notes
 Before setting the alarm, make sure to set the 

clock (see “Setting the clock and date”).

 The factory set alarm time is “PM 12:00”.

 To set the radio alarm, first tune in to a station 

and adjust the volume (see “Playing the radio”).

To keep good time, as backup power source, this 

unit has one CR2032 battery inside of the unit in 

addition to the house current.

The battery keeps the clock and the alarm 

operating in the event of a power interruption.

When the battery becomes weak, the “” 

indicator appears in the display.

In the event of a power interruption when the 

battery is weak, the current time and alarm will 

be initialized.

Replace the battery with a Sony CR2032 lithium 

battery. Use of another battery may present a risk 

of fire or explosion.

  Keep the AC plug connected to the AC 

outlet, remove the screw that secures the 

battery compartment at the rear of the 

unit using a screwdriver, and remove the 

battery compartment (See Fig. -).

  Set ALARM A (or B) to the desired alarm 

sound (

 (buzzer), RADIO or 

MELODY).

The alarm time appears for a few seconds, and 

then the ALARM A (or B) indicator lights up 

in the display. (It does not appear when the 

switch is set to OFF.)

When you set the alarm to MELODY, the 

alarm sounds the melody- “Spring” from “The 

Four Seasons” by Antonio Lucio Vivaldi.

  Press ALARM TIME SET A (or B) + or – 

to set the desired time. 

Each press of ALARM TIME SET A (or B) + or 

– changes the indication by 1 minute. If you 

press and hold ALARM TIME SET A (or B) + 

or –, the alarm time goes forward (or 

backward) by 1 minute up to 10 minutes, and 

then by 10 minutes increments. While setting 

the alarm time, the ALARM A (or B) indicator 

flashes in the display. The following example is 

when setting the ALARM A.

When the alarm time setting is complete, the 

display returns to the clock after a few seconds 

and the ALARM A (or B) indicator changes 

from flashing to fully lit.

 While ALARM A (or B) is set to 

, RADIO 

or MELODY, the alarm time setting can be 

changed by ALARM TIME SET A (or B) + or –. 

One press of ALARM TIME SET A (or B) + or – 

displays the alarm time for about 4 seconds. By 

pressing ALARM TIME SET A (or B) + or – 

while the alarm time appears in the display, the 

alarm time will be changed.

 For the buzzer alarm, the beeping of the alarm 

becomes more rapid after every few seconds in 

three progressive stages.

 The ALARM A (or B) indicator flashes in the 

display while: 

– The alarm time appears in the display. 

– The alarm sounds. 

– The snooze function is turned on.

 The alarm time setting cannot be changed if 

ALARM A (or B) is set to OFF. If you press 

ALARM TIME SET A (or B) + or –, “OFF” 

appears in the display for about 0.5 seconds.

 If a second alarm sounds during a first (or the 

snooze function is active), the second alarm 

takes priority.

 CLOCK, DST, and TIME ZONE are unavailable 

while the alarm sounds or when the snooze 

function is turned on.

 The alarm function works as usual at the first 

and last day of daylight saving time (summer 

time). As a result, if the automatic DST/

summer time adjustment is set and the alarm is 

set at a time skipped when the daylight saving 

time begins, the alarm is skipped; if the alarm is 

set at a time overlapping when daylight saving 

time ends, the alarm will sound twice.

 If the same alarm time is set for both ALARM 

A and B, the ALARM A takes priority.

Press SNOOZE/DATE/SLEEP OFF.

The alarm sound stops but will automatically 

come on again after about 10 minutes. Each time 

you press SNOOZE/DATE/SLEEP OFF, the 

snooze time changes as follows:

The maximum snooze time is 60 minutes.

The display shows the snooze time for about  

4 seconds and returns to show the current time. 

When you press SNOOZE/DATE/SLEEP OFF 

after the current time appears, the snooze time 

starts from 10 minutes again.

Press RADIO OFF/ALARM RESET to turn off the 

alarm.

The alarm will come on again at the same time 

the next day.

If RADIO OFF/ALARM RESET is not pressed, the 

alarm sounds continuously for about 60 minutes, 

and then it will stop automatically.

Set ALARM A (or B) to OFF.

The ALARM A (or B) indicator disappears from 

the display.

In the event of a power interruption, the alarm 

functions work until the battery is empty. 

However, the following functions differ:

 Nothing will appear on the display.

 When the alarm sound is set to radio, it will 

change to buzzer automatically.

 If the power returns while the alarm sounds, 

the alarm sounds continuously for about 60 

minutes (or until turned off).

 The alarm buzzes for about one minute, stops 

temporarily, and will buzz again after about five 

minutes if neither SNOOZE/DATE/SLEEP OFF 

or RADIO OFF/ALARM RESET are pressed 

while the alarm is buzzing.  

If the alarm buzzes and stops (either 

automatically after 1 minute or by pressing 

SNOOZE/DATE/SLEEP OFF) five times, the 

alarm is automatically reset in the case of a 

power interruption. The alarm will buzz for 30 

minutes (or until turned off) after power is 

resumed if the power is resumed within 60 

minutes from the alarm time.

 If you press SNOOZE/DATE/SLEEP OFF while 

the alarm sounds, the snooze time is set to 10 

minutes. During a power interruption, snooze 

time cannot be set to more than 10 minutes.

 If the “” indicator appears in the display, the 

alarm will not work in the event of a power 

interruption. Replace the battery if the “” 

indicator appears.

You can fall asleep to the radio using the built-in 

sleep timer that turns off the radio automatically 

after a preset duration.
Press SLEEP.

The radio turns on. You can set the sleep timer to 

90, 60, 30, or 15 minutes. Each press changes the 

display as follows:

90

60

30

15

OFF

Two short beeps sound when the display returns 

to “90”.

The radio will play for the duration you set, then 

shut off.

Press RADIO OFF/ALARM RESET or SNOOZE/

DATE/SLEEP OFF.

You can fall asleep to the radio and also be 

awakened by the buzzer, radio or melody alarm at 

the preset time.
