HPI500 - Radio LEXIBOOK - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL HPI500 LEXIBOOK

Thank you for purchasing this Lexibook HPI500 MP3 Music Station with SmartSet.

This compact system has been designed with a powerful amplifier and matching high fidelity speakers to produce the kind of sound that you would only expect from a much larger, more expensive audio system. There is a built-in iPod® docking station that allows you to play any dockable iPod® model* through the speakers of this system. In addition while your iPod® is installed in the docking station the internal iPod® battery will be recharged automatically. You can even choose to wake up to your iPod® in the morning.

The digital tuner automatically scans the AM and FM bands and locks in stations perfectly with no repetitive fine tuning required. And you can save 20 of your favourite stations (10 AM and 10 FM) in the preset tuner memory for immediate recall at the touch of a button.

SmartSet® Automatic Time Setting System automatically sets the clock to the correct year, date, month, day, and time the first time you connect the system to your AC outlet, and after every power interruption. It even adjusts for Summer Time changes and Leap Years automatically. The unique dual alarm system allows you program one or both of the alarms for weekdays only, week-ends only or everyday operation. And you can wake to your iPod, to the radio, or an electronic buzzer that starts softly and gradually increases in volume to wake you gently.

The clock also includes a programmable 99-minute sleep to music timer with auto shutoff and a 99-minute Nap timer that will wake you up after a nap without having to change your regular alarm settings. Of course we also included a Snooze alarm so you can catch a few extra winks after the alarm turns on in the morning, but this is not your normal Snooze control. You can activate the Snooze by pressing the Snooze button on the top cabinet or the remote control, or you can just wave your hand in front of the "TOUCHLESS" SNOOZE SENSOR on the front panel.

The compact 13-key remote control lets you operate all the major functions of your system from across the room. And we have even included a stereo headphone jack and an Auxiliary Input Jack on the back panel so that you can also connect older, non-docking iPods®, MP3 players, and personal CD players.

IMPORTANT NOTE

• Avoid installing this unit in places exposed to direct sunlight or close to heat radiating appliances such as electric heaters, on top of other stereo equipment that radiates too much heat, places lacking ventilation or dusty areas, places subject to constant vibration and/or humid or moist areas.
• Operate controls and switches as described in the manual.
• Before turning on the power, make certain that the AC power cord is properly installed.
• When moving the set, be sure to first disconnect the AC power cord.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Unpacking and Set Up

• This carton contains the main unit, the remote control handset and 5 different iPod® adapters so that you can securely connect any dockable iPod® to the top mounted docking station. Remove all of the components from the carton and remove all packing materials from the components. We recommend that you save the carton and packing materials if possible in the event that your system ever needs to be retuned for service. Using the original carton and packing materials is the only way to protect you unit from damage in transit.

• Remove any descriptive labels from the top or front panels of the main unit. Do not remove any labels from the back or bottom panels.

• Place the main unit on a stable, level surface such as a table, desk, or shelf, convenient to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of water, moisture, heat, dust, dirt, vibration, or strong magnetic fields. Note: The speakers in this system are not video shielded therefore it is not recommended to place this unit on top of your TV set. The magnets in the speakers could cause some colour distortion in your TV picture.
• Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. This is important. The FM antenna is built into the AC power cord and must be fully extended for best FM reception.

Protect Your Furniture

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement canters everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

Battery Back-up System

This unit includes a battery back up system powered by a built-in, long life CR2430 lithium battery. The battery maintains the time and alarm settings, the Sleep and Nap timer settings, and the preset station tuner memories as well, whenever the power is interrupted. If the power is lost the display will go off and the system will not operate. However once the power is restored the clock will again reset itself and all of your other settings will be correct.

The lithium battery that was installed in your system can supply back up memory power for up to 5 years or even longer. The actual effective life of the lithium battery will be affected by the length of time between the date the battery was installed at our factory and the date that you connected your unit to your AC outlet, and by the number and duration of the power outages that you experience in your home. To maximize the life of the back up battery this system should be connected to an AC outlet that is always "live". When the lithium battery begins to weaken, the low battery indicator "low" will begin to flash in the display. When you see this flashing indicator you should replace the lithium battery as soon as possible. Instructions for replacing the lithium battery will be found at the end of this user guide.

Power Source

This system is designed to operate on 230V AC 50Hz house current only. Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the system and such damage is not covered by your warranty.

• Replacement of batteries must be done by an adult.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed.
• Only batteries of the equivalent type are to be used.
• Dispose of batteries properly. Do not dispose of batteries in the fire. The batteries may explode or leak.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Make sure that you have extended the mains power cord to its full length. The FM antenna is built into the power cord.

Setting The Time, The First Time

IMPORTANT: The first time you connect your new MP3 Music Station to the AC outlet the internal computer will automatically set the time correctly for the GTM Greenwich 0 (London Time), which is the initial default setting. The display will scan for a few seconds and then show the correct Day and time in the Greenwich zone. There's nothing else to do, your clock is set correctly and running.

If you do not live in the GMT 0 time zone you must change the default zone Time Zone setting (according to Greenwich timetable): GMT (Greenwich zero time)

Warning!

If the following occurs :

• The unit's battery runs out.
• An electrostatic shock reset the unit then the MP3 Music Station will be reset to GMT+1 time.

There are several time zones programmed into your MP3 Music Station as follows:

01: GMT-1	02: GMT-2	03: GMT-3	04: GMT-4	05: GMT-5	06: GMT-6
07: GMT-7	08: GMT-8	09: GMT-9	10: GMT-10	11: GMT-11	12: GMT-12
13: GMT+11	14: GMT+10	15: GMT+9	16: GMT+8	17: GMT+7	18: GMT+6
19: GMT+5	20: GMT+4	21: GMT+3	22: GMT+2	23: GMT+1	00: GMT

To change the default time zone display, depress the Time Zone button.

Example: the number 23 will appear on the display indicating that the default zone is zone 23.

WED

Hold the Time Zone button and then press the Tuning/Skip (Clock/Time) buttons until your own time zone appears on the display, then release the buttons.

The clock display will change to the correct time in the time zone you selected. The clock will always return to the correct time in the zone you selected after every power interruption. If you move to a different time zone, simply change the default zone display to the new zone and the SmartSet® will remember that setting for you.

Date Display

To see the correct date at any time, depress the Date/Month button. The display changes from time to month and date (mm/dd).

For example, May 21^st will appear as "21.5".

WAKE WITH YOUR iPod®

NOTE: You can only wake to the "Dockable" iPod®. You cannot wake to the iPod® Shuffle.

1.) Connect your iPod® to the docking station as usual, start playback, select the song that you would like to play at the wake up time and the desired volume level, then press the Power button to shut the system 'Off'.
2.) Slide the Alarm 1 and/or Alarm 2 selector switches, located on the left side panel to the iPod position.

The AL 1 and/or AL 2 indicators will appear in the main display to confirm that the alarms are 'On'.

3.) At the selected wake up time the system will turn on in the iPod® mode to the song you selected.
NOTE: If you selected the song from the iPod® Songs menu, playback will stop when that song ends. If you selected the song from within the iPod® Album menu, playback will continue for one hour or until the end of that Album, whichever comes first.
4.) To stop the iPod® alarm sooner press the Power button or the appropriate Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 buttons on the top panel.

NOTE:

• If you selected the "Wake To iPod®" option but there is no iPod® connected to the docking station at the wake up time, the alarm automatically defaults to the "Wake To Buzzer" option.

• You cannot wake to an iPod® Shuffle because the Shuffle has no interface to receive the alarm signal from this system. If you selected the "Wake To iPod®" option but you are using an iPod® Shuffle, the alarm will automatically default to the "Wake To Buzzer" mode.

TO CANCEL THE ALARMS

To cancel the alarm completely so they do not come on at all, slide the appropriate Alarm 1 and/or Alarm 2 selector switches to their "Off" positions.

SNOOZE Alarm / "TOUCHLESS" SNOOZE

When the alarm turns on in the morning you can activate the SNOOZE control to catch a few minutes extra sleep. The snooze function stops the alarm for 9 minutes and then turns the alarm 'On' again.

There are three ways to activate the Snooze control:

By touching the snooze button on the top panel, using the remote control or by placing your hand in front of the TOUCHLESS SNOOZE SENSOR on the front panel.

When the snooze function has been activated the appropriate AL 1 or AL 2 indicator flashes in the display.

NOTE: The Snooze Sensor detects the difference in temperature between your hand and the ambient temperature. However in the unusual condition where there is almost no difference between your hand temperature and the room temperature the Touchless snooze function may no operate. In this case, please press the SNOOZE button on the panel or use the remote control.

SLEEP TIMER

The Sleep Timer allows you to operate the radio or iPod® for up to 99 minutes while you are falling asleep and then shuts the power off automatically.

1.) Turn the system 'On' and operate the radio or iPod® as usual.

Adjust the Volume control to the desired level for falling asleep, but remember that the level you set for falling asleep is that same level that you will hear in the morning if you are waking to radio or iPod®.

2.) Press the Sleep button on the top panel. The display will briefly show "L:30" and the SLP (Sleep) indicator will appear.

The radio or iPod® will operate for 30 minutes and then shut off automatically.

3.) To change the amount of Sleep time depress and hold the Sleep button and press the Tuning/Skip or buttons on the top panel or the 1 / 2 buttons on the remote control to decrease or increase the amount of sleep time from "01" minutes to "99" minutes.

NOTE: When you change the Sleep timer from the original 30-minute default setting your new setting becomes the new default setting. For example if you change the Sleep timer setting from 30 minutes to 45 minutes, 45 minutes

becomes the new default Sleep timer setting until you change it again.

4.) When the Sleep timer counts down to "00" the power shuts off automatically.

NOTE: If you set the Sleep timer for 60 minutes in the iPod mode, make sure you have selected an Album or a Playlist that is at least 60 minutes long. Otherwise the iPod® will stop at the end of your selected Album or Playlist, but the system Power will remain 'On' until the Sleep timer counts down to "00".

NAP TIMER (BUZZER ALARM ONLY)

The Nap timer function will wake you to the buzzer alarm after a nap of up to 99 minutes without the need to change your regular Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 settings.

1.) If the system is playing, shut the power 'Off'.
2.) Press the Nap button on the top panel. The display will briefly show "n:30" and the Nap indicator appears. After 30 minutes the buzzer alarm will turn on to wake you up.

3.) To change the amount of nap time depress and hold the Nap button and press the Tuning/Skip or buttons on the top panel or the | / buttons on the remote control to decrease or increase the amount of naptime from 2 minutes to 99 minutes.

NOTE: When you change the Nap timer from the original 30-minute default setting your new setting becomes the new default setting. For example if you change the Nap timer setting from 30 minutes to 45 minutes, 45 minutes becomes the new default Nap timer setting until you change it again.

To cancel Nap Timer, press the Snooze button.

DIMMER CONTROL

The display dimmer control was set to the High position at our factory. If you find the display to be too bright for sleeping, slide the Dimmer switch to the Low position.

Auxiliary Input Jack

This system includes an Auxiliary Input Jack on the back panel so that you can connect older non-dockable iPods®, other MP3 players, or personal CD players, and listen to them through the speakers of this system. Use a mini stereo connection cable, not included, to connect the headphone jack of your external unit to the Aux In jack on the back panel of this system. Press the Function button on the top panel or remote control of this system to select the AUX function. The Aux indicator appears in the display. Set the Volume level control on this system to a medium level (approximately "30" on the volume level display).

Operate your external device as usual. Make final adjustments to the volume controls of this system and to your external device to achieve the desired level. Keep in mind that if the volume level of this system is set too low and the volume level of your external device is set too high the sound may be distorted. You need to experiment with both volume controls to find the most desirable volume level settings.

Mute Control (Remote Control Only)

If you need to shut off the speakers of this system temporarily press the Mute button on the remote control.

The sound stops and the MUTE indicator appears in the display. To cancel the Mute function and restore the sound, press the Mute button again or press the Volume + or - buttons. The MUTE indicator disappears.

Phones (Stereo Headphone) Jack

This system includes a stereo headphone jack for private listening without disturbing others. The Phones jack is located on the back panel. The built in speakers automatically shut off when headphones are connected to the Phones jack.

IMPORTANT: Before connecting your headphones, set the Volume control to a low level. Then connect your headphones, put them on and gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.

Remember that music files can often contain very loud passages as well as softer passages. It is a good idea to adjust the listening level during a louder passage so that you are not surprised by a sudden, uncomfortable increase in the headphone sound.

CHANGING THE LITHIUM BATTERY

Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A number of factors, such as, the length of time between the date the radio was manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first time determine the amount of time before replacement.

During this initial storage period, the lithium battery is supplying power to the SmartSet® computer memory. Once you plug the radio in, your household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is not being used.

A fresh lithium battery can supply power to the SmartSet® computer for at least 3 years even if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your radio was connected to your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and you experience only the normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions, your battery may last for up to 5 years or even longer.

When the battery power drops below a certain level the "low" indicator will 'flash'. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as it is convenient for you to do so. To change the battery proceeds as follows:

1.) Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold. The battery type is CR2430 or equivalent.
2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.

IMPORTANT: Leave the radio power cord connected to your AC outlet. This will provide power to the SmartSet® computer memory while the original lithium battery is removed.

3.) Turn the radio face up and use a small screwdriver to remove the screw securing the battery holder to the cabinet.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THIS SMALL SCREW!

4.) Remove the original battery from the holder and insert the new battery into the holder the same way, observing the positive (+) direction. Slide the holder with the new battery back into the slot in the cabinet.

5.) Replace the screw that secures the battery holder in the cabinet.
6.) Turn the radio right side up and confirm that the "low" indicator goes 'Off'.
7.) Save these instructions. You'll have to do this again five to eight years from now!

Resetting The Clock After A Total Memory Loss

If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time after you see the flashing "low" warning indicator, the lithium battery may become exhausted and will no longer be able to supply back up power to the SmartSet® internal computer.

If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after the battery is exhausted, or if a power interruption occurs, the SmartSet® memory will be lost and the clock will need to be reset when the power is restored. Be sure to install a fresh lithium battery before you reset the clock, otherwise the clock will need to be reset each time the power is interrupted.

If the lithium battery is exhausted and you experience an interruption in the AC power supply, the clock will reset itself to its initial default setting when the power is restored.

The initial default setting is "12:00, Saturday, January 1st (1.01), 2005".

If you notice that the time on your SmartSet® clock radio is completely incorrect, and the day indicator is also wrong, press the Date/Month button to see the date.

If the date display is showing "01.1" (January 1st), you probably experienced a total memory loss.

To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows:

1.) Follow the instructions on pages 40-41 and install a new CR2430 lithium battery in the battery compartment.
2.) Connect the radio to your AC outlet and let the clock set itself.
3.) Depress the Date/Month and Time buttons together. The display will change from 'Time' to 'Year'. While holding the Date/Month and Time buttons, press the Tuning/Skip button to set the display to the correct year if necessary, and then release the buttons.

4.) Depress the Date/Month button. The display will change from 'time' to 'month/ date'(mm/dd).
While holding the Date/Month button, press the Tuning/Skip A button to set the display to the correct Month and Date. The Day indicator will change automatically as you adjust the month/date settings. When the correct Month and Date appear on the display, release the buttons.
5.) Depress the Time button and the Tuning/Skip button to set the display to the correct Time. Be sure to confirm that you have set the time correctly to 'AM'or 'PM'by observing the AM indicator.
6.) After you set the time, reconfirm that the Day, and Month/Date displays are still correct. Make final adjustments if necessary.

The SmartSet® clock memory is now reset and the new lithium battery will maintain it for the next 5 to 8 years, depending on the number and duration of the power outages you experience.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

After resetting the clock, don't forget to reset your wake up times, and alarm mode settings, and sleep timer settings as well.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

If the cabinet becomes dusty, wipe it with a soft cloth. If the cabinet becomes smudged or dirty, clean it with a soft, slightly dampened cloth. Never allow water or any liquid to get inside the cabinet.

Never use any abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads as these will damage the finish of your unit.
