Frequently Asked Questions - AJ3145 PHILIPS

How to set the time on the Philips AJ3145 clock radio?

Press and hold the TIME button. Use the ▲ (fast scroll) and ▼ (slow scroll) buttons to set hours and minutes. Release the TIME button when done.

How to set alarm 1 or 2?

Press and hold the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 button. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to set the alarm time. Choose the alarm mode (RAD for radio or BUZ for buzzer) using the corresponding selector.

How to use the radio?

Set the RADIO selector to ON. Select the FM, MW, or LW band with the BAND selector. Tune to a station with the TUNING knob and adjust volume with VOLUME. To turn off, set the RADIO selector to OFF.

What to do in case of a power outage?

In case of a power outage, the clock radio stops. If you have installed a 9V backup battery (type 6F22), the time and alarm settings are preserved, but the display and radio/alarm functions do not work. When power returns, the correct time is displayed again.

How to stop the alarm?

Three options:
1. Stop for 24 hours: press RESET. The alarm is deactivated until the next day.
2. Snooze: press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM to repeat the alarm every 7 minutes.
3. Complete stop: set the alarm selector (ALARM 1 or 2) to OFF.

How to use the sleep function?

Turn off the radio (RADIO selector to OFF). Press SLUMBER: 59 minutes is displayed. Hold the button down to reduce the duration to 00. The radio will turn on automatically and turn off after the chosen time. To cancel, press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM.

What are the two possible alarm modes?

The clock radio offers two modes:
- Radio alarm (RAD position): the radio turns on at the set time and stops after 59 minutes.
- Buzzer alarm (BUZ position): a buzzer sounds and stops automatically after 59 minutes.

How to clean the clock radio?

Use a clean cloth or lightly damp chamois. Never use products containing benzene or thinners. Unplug the device before cleaning if possible.

How to install or change the backup battery?

First connect the power cord to the wall outlet. Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the device and insert a 9V battery (type 6F22). Replace it once a year or as needed. Remove the battery if you will not use the device for a long time to avoid leakage.

Why does the alarm not sound?

Check that:
- The alarm is set (ALARM 1 or 2 button).
- The mode selector is set to RAD (for radio) or BUZ (for buzzer), not OFF.
- If using radio, the volume is high enough.
- The backup battery is not drained (if the device was unplugged).

USER MANUAL AJ3145 PHILIPS

FITTING A MAINS PLUG (U.K. only)

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 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 5A, 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 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.

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

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE – "NEUTRAL" ("N") and BROWN – "LIVE" ("L").

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

• The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured BLACK.
• The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured RED.
• Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter "E" or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cordgrip is clamped over the sheath of the lead – not simply over the two wires.

MAINS CONNECTION

1. Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type plate on the back of the set corresponds to your local mains supply.

If it does not, consult your dealer or service organisation.

1. 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.

1. To disconnect the set from the mains completely, withdraw the mains plug from the wall socket.

POWER FAILURE

- 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(s) in the event of an power failure or disconnection, you can insert a 9 volt battery (not included), type 6F22, into the battery compartment:

should there be a power failure, the clock will continue to function. However, the time will not be illuminated on the clock display, as the use of the battery is strictly to retain both the set clock and alarm time(s) only, where actual operation of the alarm and radio is excluded.

As soon as the power is switched on again, the display will indicate the correct time.

1. Before inserting the battery, connect the mains plug to the wall socket.

2. Place the battery into the battery compartment on the underside of the clock radio.

- Replace the battery once a year, or as often as necessary.

MAINTENANCE

• If you do not intend to use the clock radio for a long time, disconnect the set by removing the plug from the wall socket. The battery should also be removed to prevent danger of leakage which will damage your set.
• To clean your set from fingerprints, dust and dirt, use a clean and soft damp cloth or chamois leather. Do not use cleaning products which contain, benzene, thinner, etc. as these may harm the housing.
• Avoid exposing the clock radio to rain, dampness and extreme heat to prevent a safety hazard as well as damage to the set.

Environmental information

All unnecessary packaging material has been omitted. We have done our utmost to make the packaging easily separable into three monomaterials: cardboard (box), expandable polysyrene (buffer), polyethylene (bags, protective).

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