Frequently Asked Questions - AJ3380 PHILIPS

How to set the time on the Philips AJ3380?

Set the CLOCK selector to TIME SET. Hold down the ▼ and ▲ buttons to adjust hours and minutes. Release when the desired time is reached, then set the selector back to RUN.

How to set alarms 1 and 2?

Set the CLOCK selector to ALARM 1 or ALARM 2. Use ▼ and ▲ to set the time. Then, set the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 selector to BUZ (buzzer) or RAD (radio). Set the CLOCK selector back to RUN.

How to stop the alarm without permanently deactivating it?

Press ALARM RESET while the alarm is sounding: it stops for 24 hours but remains programmed for the next day.

How to use the snooze function?

Press SLUMBER OFF/REPEAT ALARM during an alarm: it repeats every 7 minutes. You can repeat this up to 59 minutes.

How to use the sleep timer function?

Set the RADIO selector to OFF. Press and hold SLUMBER: the display counts down from 59 to 00 minutes. Release when the desired duration is displayed. The radio will turn off automatically.

What to do in case of a power outage?

If a 9 V battery (type 6F22) is installed, time and alarm settings are preserved. Without a battery, everything will need to be reprogrammed after power returns.

How to improve FM reception?

Deploy and orient the corkscrew antenna on the back of the device. Keep the clock radio away from other electrical devices.

How to improve MW/LW reception?

Place the device on a non-metallic surface (wood, plastic) and turn it to orient the built-in ferrite antenna.

Why doesn't the alarm sound?

Check that the corresponding ALARM selector is not set to OFF and that the volume is sufficient if radio mode is selected.

How to clean the clock radio?

Use a soft lint-free cloth slightly damp. Never use abrasive products, alcohol, petrol, or white spirit.

USER MANUAL AJ3380 PHILIPS

Instructions for use

Mode d'emploi

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.

To improve radio reception

• For MW (LW), 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 (LW) aerial by adjusting the position of your clock radio.
• For FM reception extend the pigtail aerial at the back of the set completely to obtain optimum reception.

SETTING THE ALARM

General

If you wish to use the alarm, then you should first set the alarm time. Two different alarm times are possible. This can be useful when, for example, you need to be awakened at a different time during the week and at the weekend. There is also the choice of two modes for waking you up: by buzzer or radio. The display also indicates whether you have switched on the alarm (s), and these indicators will light up respectively next to ALARM 1 and ALARM 2 on the display.

ALARM ON

1. Adjust the clock control to the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 position.
2. Press and hold down the ▼,▲ buttons to set and adjust both the hours and minutes.
3. With your finger held down on , the time will increase rapidly and continuously from minutes to hours. Release when you reach the approximate time setting.

4. Pressing ▼ will allow you to adjust the time slowly back minute by minute.

5. Release the ▲ or ▼ buttons when you have reached the correct setting.

6. Adjust the clock control to the RUN position to return to clock time display.
7. To review your set alarm time, adjust the clock control to the respective ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 position.
8. To select the alarm mode you wish to be awoken by, set the respective ALARM 1or ALARM 2 switch to RAD or BUZ.
9. If you have selected the radio mode, make sure you have adjusted the volume loud enough to wake you.
10. The 2 buzzers are at a set volume and cannot be adjusted. BUZ on ALARM 1 is a low tone buzzer while BUZ on ALARM 2 is high tone.

ALARM OFF

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 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 7 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 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.

Switching off the alarm completely

• Before or during the set alarm goes off, push the ALARM (1 or 2) switch to the OFF position.
• The alarm indicator will disappear from the display.

SLUMBER

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.

SLUMBER ON

1. Set the RADIO switch to the OFF position.
2. Set your slumber time by pressing on the SLUMBER button. Keep your finger on the button and the display will begin to count down from 59 to 00 minutes.
3. Release the button as soon as the required slumber time is reached.

SLUMBER OFF

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 (s).
• 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.

• 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 (s) 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 (s) 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 power plug to the wall outlet.
• 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.
