Frequently Asked Questions - AJ3130 PHILIPS

How to set the time on the Philips AJ3130 radio alarm clock?

Set the clock setting switch to SET TIME. Press and hold the HR or MIN button to adjust hours and minutes respectively. Release when the desired time is reached. Return the switch to CLOCK to prevent accidental changes.

How to set the alarm?

Set the clock setting switch to SET ALARM TIME. Use the HR and MIN buttons to set the wake-up time. Return the selector to CLOCK. Then choose the alarm mode with the ALARM switch: BUZZER or RADIO. Ensure the volume is adequate if you choose radio.

How to use the sleep function?

Make sure the clock setting switch is set to CLOCK and the radio is OFF. Press the SLEEP button once; the display shows 0:59 (59 minutes). The radio will turn off automatically after this time. To stop the function early, press SLEEP OFF/REPEAT ALARM.

How to turn off the alarm when it sounds?

You have three options: press 24HOUR ALARM RESET to turn off and reset the alarm for 24 hours later; press SLEEP OFF/REPEAT ALARM to snooze (repeat every 8-9 minutes); or set the ALARM switch to OFF to cancel the alarm completely.

What to do in case of power outage?

In case of power failure, the radio alarm clock turns off. If you have installed a 9V backup battery (type 6F22) in the battery compartment, the time and alarm settings are retained, but the display remains off and the radio/alarm do not work. When power returns, the display shows the correct time.

How to improve FM reception?

The FM antenna is integrated into the power cord. Adjust the orientation of the cord for best reception. Unfold and position the flexible antenna if it is separate.

How to improve AM reception?

Place the radio alarm clock on a non-metallic surface (wood, plastic). The AM antenna is built into the housing; turn the unit to optimize reception. Keep it away from other electrical devices (TVs, computers) that may cause interference.

How to clean the radio alarm clock?

Use a clean, soft damp cloth (or chamois). Never use products containing benzene, thinner, or other solvents, as they may damage the housing.

Why does the alarm not ring?

Check that the alarm time is set and the ALARM switch is set to BUZZER or RADIO. If using radio mode, ensure the volume is high enough. If the problem persists, check that the backup battery is not dead (if applicable).

How to replace the backup battery?

Open the battery compartment on the back of the unit. Insert a 9V alkaline battery type 6F22 (not included) observing polarity. Replace it once a year or more often if needed. Remove the battery if the unit is unused for a long period to prevent leakage.

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

• Remove fuse cover and fuse.
• Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
• Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or 12 ) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires. Copyright in the U.K.: Recording and playback of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performer's Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

Environmental information

We have reduced the packaging to its minimum and made it easy to separate into three mono-materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene and plastic.

Your set consists of materials, which can be recycled if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations to dispose of packing materials, dead batteries and old equipment.

MAINS SUPPLY

For users in the U.K.: please follow the instructions on page 4.

1. Check if the mains supply, as shown on the type plate inside the battery compartment, corresponds to your local mains supply.
2. If your set is equipped with:
3. a voltage selector - found on the back of the set
4. a frequency selector - inside the battery compartment adjust these selectors to match with your local mains supply and frequency.
5. Connect the mains plug into the wall socket. The mains supply is now switched on and the numbers on the display will start to flash. You will need to set the correct time.
6. To disconnect the set from the mains supply completely, withdraw the mains plug from the wall socket.

Standby power consumption: 3W

When a power failure occurs the complete clock radio will be switched off. When the mains supply returns, the numbers on the display will start to flash and you will need to reset the correct time on the clock.

To retain the clock time and the set alarm time in the event of an AC mains failure or disconnection, insert a 9 volt battery, type 6F22 (not supplied) into the battery compartment: this will act as a mains backup. However, the time will not be illuminated on the clock display. Operation of the alarm and radio are also excluded. For clarity, the battery backup is used to retain the clock and alarm time only. As soon as the mains supply returns, the display will indicate the correct time.

1. Insert the battery into the battery compartment.
2. Connect the mains plug to the wall socket.
3. Replace the battery once a year, or as often as necessary.

CLOCK DISPLAY

The time is displayed using the 24-hour clock system.

Important! When setting the clock or alarm time, for accurate hour and minute adjustment always make sure you press the HR and MIN keys separately and not simultaneously.

1. Adjust the clock control to SET TIME.
2. Press and hold down the HR or MIN key to set and adjust the hours and minutes respectively:
3. With your finger held down on HR, the hour increases as a digit from 0 to 23.
4. With your finger held down on MIN, the minutes increases as a digit from 00 to 59.
5. Release the HR or MIN key when you have reached the correct time.
6. To safeguard the clock time from being accidentally adjusted, turn the clock control to CLOCK.

RADIO

You can use the clock radio solely as a radio.

1. Adjust the RADIO switch to ON.
2. Select your waveband using the BAND switch.
3. Use TUNING to find your radio station.
4. Adjust the sound with the VOLUME control.
5. To turn off the radio, adjust RADIO to OFF.

To improve radio reception:

• For FM , extend and position the pigtail to obtain optimum reception.
• For MW, the set is provided with a built-in aerial which to function best should be placed on a non-metallic surface e.g. wood, plastic. Direct the MW aerial by adjusting the position of your clock radio.

SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM

There are three ways of switching off the alarm. Unless you choose to cancel the alarm completely, the 24HOUR ALARM RESET option will be automatically selected after 1 hour and 59 minutes from the time your alarm time first goes off.

24HR ALARM RESET

If you want the alarm mode to be stopped immediately but also wish to repeat the alarm call at the same time for the following day:
