INSTALLATION

Unravel the AC cord and connect it to a conveniently located AC outlet having 120V and 60Hz only. The Clock Display will illuminate and "12:00" will appear in the display.

NOTE: If the AC plug does not fit into a nonpolarized outlet, do not file or cut the wide blade.

AC Outlet AC Plug

If the AC cord is disconnected or if there is a power failure, this electronic clock is designed to continue operating internally (without showing the time on the Clock Display) with a 9 volt battery (not included). To install the battery, remove the battery compartment cover and connect the battery to the terminals of the battery snap inside the compartment (use of an alkaline battery is recommended) and install the battery compartment cover back into place.

9V

Be sure to check the condition of the battery periodically by disconnecting the AC cord and connecting it again two to three minutes later. The preset times should continue operating. If the present time resets to "12:00", it indicates the battery is dead or not connected properly. A fresh 9 volt battery will keep the internal times accurately for approximately 40 hours continuously. If you experience only the normal brief interruptions of AC power, the battery can last much longer. It is recommended to install a new battery every eight to 12 months.

OPERATION

Press the POWER/ALARM RESET button Ⓞ to turn the unit on (the POWER indicator will light). Slide the FUNCTION switch Ⓡ to the desired band (FM or AM).

Hints for Better Reception

FM - The FM antenna is built into the AC cord. Fully unravel AC cord for best reception. You may have to vary the direction of the AC cord to find the strongest signal for each FM station.

AM - The AM ferrite bar antenna is located inside the cabinet. It may be necessary to turn the unit slightly so that the internal antenna is pointing in the direction of the AM transmitter. You may have to experiment to find the position that provides the strongest reception for each of your favorite AM stations.

• Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the compact disc label.
• Clean the compact disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
• If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
• When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the compact disc to the outer edge of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
