Battery Backup
- This unit is designed to operate without ever being totally powered “Off”. It will either be “On” or in
“Standby Mode”.
- In “Standby Mode”, the blue backlight of the digital display will be switched off. However, the clock
display will still be viewable.
- When in “Standby Mode”, you can use the power switch (on the remote control or on the front panel
of the main unit) to turn “On” or “Off” the unit.
Important Operating Instructions
System Setup and Precautions
Desk Setup Desk Setup
With Pedestal Wall - Mount Setup
- This unit has a battery backup system which keeps certain vital information saved in its internal
memory in case of power outage (i.e. blackout or AC cord accidentally becomes unplugged).
- To enable this battery backup feature, please insert 2 “AA” type batteries into the battery backup
compartment which is located under the main unit.
- These batteries will last for several months, and must be replaced periodically to maintain the backup
function.
- During a power outage, the battery backup system will save the time and programmed radio stations
into its memory, so that when the AC power is resumed, the unit does not need to be re-programmed.
- Please note that the unit itself cannot be operated on battery backup power during power outage.
- The battery backup has a limited duration during a power outage. If the AC power remains off for long
periods at a time, the battery backup system may not be able to keep the saved information in memory as
the batteries themselves are limited in their life. For this reason, it is recommended to use good quality
alkaline batteries, and to replace them periodically.
- When you are not using the unit for long periods, or if the unit will remain unplugged for many weeks,
it is recommended to remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage.
- This unit is designed to be used on a desk (shelf or table) with or without the supplied pedestal, or as
a wall mounted unit.
- Please refer to the separate section entitled: “System Setup Procedure” for the method of installing
the pedestal or wall mounting bracket.
- Always position the unit away from direct sunlight or heaters and air-conditioning vents.
- Always position the unit with adequate ventilation at the rear and sides. Never block the ventilation
holes of the unit.

- This unit also has a built-in digital clock, which is displayed when the unit is in Standby Mode or when

Electronic Volume Control
Volume Memory Level / Gradual Loudness Function
Music Equalizer
Auto-Start Playback Function (CD, MP3, USB, SD)
- This unit uses an electronic volume control .
- To increase or decrease the loudness of this unit, press the volume up Vol + or volume down Vol - keys.
- Release the key when volume level is at the desired loudness.
- Sometimes, especially during listening to the radio, you may notice a "click-click-click" repeating) sound
when you are increasing or decreasing the volume. This is a normal condition and the sound will
disappear when you release the volume key (when you reach the desired volume level).
- This unit will remember the last setting of the volume control level (loudness) each time you switch on
the power.
- This means that the volume level of the unit when you switch off the power will be stored in memory,
and the same volume level will be used when you turn “On” the unit again.
- To avoid sudden loudness (in case you used the unit at high volume level before turning “Off”), the unit
is also equipped with a special feature called “Gradual Loudness Function”. This special function controls
the volume automatically to increase it “gradually” (slowly) each time you switch “On” the unit.
- This means that the volume level will start at a moderately low level each time you power “On”, and
gradually go up automatically to the last volume level which is saved in memory.
- Press the EQ key repeatedly to choose the desired sound effect according to the music you are
listening to :
*Pass Classic Jazz Rock Pop
(*Pass means equalizer is "by-passed" or "off")
- This unit has a built-in function to automatically start playback of a CD, MP3 CD, USB-MP3 or SD-MP3 as
soon as you power “On” the unit, if the last saved “Mode” of the unit was one of these modes at
power “Off”.
- For example, if you were listening to some MP3 songs on a USB flash drive (using built-in USB socket), and
you switch “Off” the unit, then when you power “On” the unit next time, it will automatically start playing
the MP3 songs on the USB flash drive, as long as there is a USB flash drive still connected to the built-in
USB socket.
- This Auto-Start function also works if the unit is powered “On”, and you insert a CD, MP3 CD, USB flash
drive or SD card, and switch to the appropriate mode. Playback starts automatically from the first song,
without the need to press Play key.

protection for 30 seconds of vibration when playing CD-MP3 discs. NOTE: There is no anti-shock
protection when playing a normal audio CD.

or strong shocks/vibrations to the unit may still cause the unit to skip.

to listen to the sound of that device through the high-quality amplifier of this music system.

head phone stereo audio output) of the device (left and right channels) to the"Aux Audio Line-in" RCA
jacks (left and right) on the rear panel of this unit.
- Make sure that the speakers are connected to the main unit.
