Frequently Asked Questions - AJ3190 PHILIPS

How to set the time on the Philips AJ3190 clock radio?

Set the clock selector to TIME SET position. Press and hold the HR button to set hours (00-23) and MIN for minutes (00-59). Release when the desired time is displayed. Return the selector to RUN to lock the setting.

How to set the alarm on this clock radio?

Set the clock selector to ALARM position. Use the HR and MIN buttons to set the desired alarm time. Then, set the ALARM selector to RAD (radio) or BUZ (buzzer) to choose the wake-up mode. Return the clock selector to RUN.

Why does the alarm not ring?

First, check that the ALARM selector is set to RAD or BUZ (and not OFF). If radio mode is selected, ensure the volume is high enough. Also make sure the alarm time is correctly set and the alarm indicator is lit on the display.

How to use the Slumber (sleep timer) function?

Turn on the radio with the RAD selector set to ON. Press the SLUMBER button to set the shut-off delay (max 0:59). The radio will turn off automatically after this delay. To cancel, press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM. Note: The RADIO selector must be in OFF position after use for the function to work correctly.

What to do in case of power cut?

In case of a power cut, the clock radio stops and the display flashes when power returns. To maintain settings, insert a 9V (type 6F22) battery into the compartment. This battery keeps the time and alarm but does not power the display or radio. Replace it once a year.

How to improve FM reception?

Fully unwind the corkscrew-shaped wire antenna at the back of the device. For AM (MW/LW) reception, the antenna is built-in; place the device on a non-metallic surface and orient it for better signal.

How to stop the alarm without disabling it for the next day?

Press the ALARM RESET button while the alarm is sounding. This stops the alarm for 24 hours while keeping the setting for the next day. For a 9-minute snooze, use the SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM button.

How to replace the backup battery?

Ensure the device is plugged into the mains. Open the battery compartment cover at the back or bottom. Replace the old battery with a new 9V (type 6F22) battery, respecting polarity. Close the cover. It is advisable to change the battery once a year.

What if the display flashes after a power outage?

The display flashes because the clock lost its settings. You need to set the time as described in the manual. If a backup battery is installed, the time should be preserved; otherwise, replace the battery and reset the time and alarm.

How to clean the Philips AJ3190 clock radio?

Unplug the device from the mains. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the casing. Never use abrasive products, alcohol, gasoline, or white spirit that could damage the surface. Avoid liquid entering the interior.

USER MANUAL AJ3190 PHILIPS

Instructions for use

Mode d'emploi

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.

MAINS CONNECTION

1. Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type plate on the base of the set corresponds to your local mains supply.
2. 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.
3. To disconnect the set from the mains completely, withdraw the mains plug from the wall socket.

• When a power failure occurs, the complete clock radio will be switched off.
• As soon as the power supply returns, the numbers on the display will start to flash. This indicates that you must set the correct time on the clock.
• To retain the clock time and the set alarm time in the event of a power failure or disconnection, insert a 9 volt battery, type 6F22 (not supplied) into the battery compartment: this will act as a power back up. However, the time will not be illuminated on the clock display. Operation of the alarm and radio are also excluded.

For clarity, the battery back up is used to retain the set clock and alarm time (s) only. As soon as the power supply returns, the display will indicate the correct time.

• Before inserting the battery, connect the mains plug to the wall socket.
• Insert a battery into the battery compartment.
• Replace the battery once a year. It is not possible to say precisely how long the battery will last. The service life depends on how often and for how long the power supply fails. This varies according to country and region.

Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed of properly.

Important note for users in the UK: please follow the instructions on page 2.

SETTING THE CLOCK

Important!

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

- If you have selected the radio mode, make sure you have adjusted the volume loud enough to wake you.

- The buzzer is at a set volume and cannot be adjusted.

SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM

You can switch off the alarm in three ways: Unless you choose to cancel the alarm completely, the ALARM RESET option will be automatically selected after 1 hour 59 minutes from the time your alarm first goes off.

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:

- Press ALARM RESET during the alarm call.

Repeat alarm

This will repeat your alarm call at 9 minutes intervals.

• Press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM.
• Press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM again during the next call if you wish to repeat the alarm call.
• If, however, you do not press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM again, the alarm will sound for 1 hour 59 minutes before turning itself off. Your alarm time setting will then automatically enter the ALARM RESET mode to sound at the same time next day.

Cancelling the alarm completely

• Before or during the set alarm goes off, push the AL switch to the OFF position.
• The alarm indicator will disappear from the display.

SLUMBER

About SLUMBER time

The clock radio has a built-in timer device called the SLUMBER, which enables the radio to be automatically switched off after a set period of time; this allows you to lie back, listen and fall asleep. The maximum slumber time is 59 minutes.

Setting and switching off SLUMBER

1. Check that the clock control is in RUN position
2. Set the RADIO switch to the OFF position.
3. Set your slumber time by pressing on the SLUMBER button.

4. The display shows the slumber period 0:59.

5. You can switch off the radio before the slumber time has elapsed:

- To cancel the SLUMBER function, press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM.

Notes:

• The slumber function does not affect the alarm setting.
• If during SLUMBER you have turned down the volume and you have an alarm set in radio mode, make sure you have adjusted the volume loud enough to wake you up the next day.

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 chemical 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.

• If a fault occurs, first check the points listed below before taking the set for repair.

• If you are unable to remedy a problem by following the hints below, consult your dealer or service centre.
