The SunRise Clock Radio™ is a naturally great way to wake up and fall asleep
every day. That’s because humans are programmed by nature to wake to the
rising sun and sleep when the sun goes down. Waking up to the SunRise Radio
can help you start the day feeling more refreshed and ready to go. Falling asleep
to its simulated sunset can help you relax and get to sleep more easily. Please
take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the control buttons and clock
display to ensure you get off to a good start with your new SunRise Radio. We
recommend reading through and doing the programming before operation.
Setting up the SunRise Radio
For best results, place the clock near your bed on a bedside table close to pillow
level. Plug the clock directly into a wall outlet. Most uninterruptable power
supplies and some surge protectors will not work with the clock. If an extension
cord must be used, it should have 3-prongs and be heavy duty. NOTE: Until the
time has been set, or after a prolonged power outage, the digits on the clock will
flash on and off to let you know the time and other functions need to be set.
Programming the SunRise Radio
Press the PROGRAM (P) button to enter the clock’s menu and change any of
the clock settings. NOTE: The menu is not accessible if the ALARM (☼)
button is up (on). The text display below the time digits will show the setting
you are changing and what the current status is. Change the setting using the
PLUS button (+) and MINUS button (-). Once you have completed a setting,
you can press the PROGRAM (P) button again to adjust another setting, or
simply wait for approximately 12 seconds and the clock will exit the menu
automatically and go back to displaying the time. When the lower display reads,
“MORE?” you can exit the menu by pressing the minus button or press the
(P) button to adjust another setting. Holding down the (P) button will exit from
the programming menu.
Setting the Wake-Up Time
When the ALARM (☼) button is up, the Alarm Sun symbol (☼) shows on the
display and the alarm is on. To adjust the wake up time, make sure the ALARM
(☼) button is down (off). Press the PROGRAM (P) button once, so the display
reads “SET ALARM”. Then adjust the alarm time with (+) and (-) buttons
until desired time is set. Holding in the (+) or (-) button will cause the alarm
time to change rapidly.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
* This lamp has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety
feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. Any extension cord, if used, should be polarized and
grounded.
* Never remove the glass globe while the lamp is, or has recently been,
operating. The bulb and globe can be extremely hot.
* As with any electrical product, do not immerse the clock/wire in water.
* Never use a bulb with greater than the rated wattage - 60 Watts.
* Do not remove the globe or bulb while the clock is plugged into the wall.
* There are no user serviceable parts. Do not open case for any reason.
Replacing the Bulb
Unplug the clock from the wall. Remove the glass globe from the clock by
pulling upward. Hold the base with one hand, and gently pull up on the glass
globe with the other. Unscrew the bulb. *Caution: If the bulb was recently in
use, it will be hot. Let the lamp cool before removing the bulb. Screw in the
new bulb completely (NEVER use more than a 60W bulb). Carefully put the
globe back on by lowering it over the bulb and making sure it catches on the
latches in the base. Plug in the clock, re-set the time, and re-set your
preferences.
Replacement bulbs are available in most hardware stores or from BioBrite, Inc.
Ask for a 120 Volt 60 Watt frosted bulb with an E12 candelabra base.
Power Outage
The clock memorizes all programming specifications even if the power goes out
or the clock is unplugged. If the power goes out for only a few minutes, you
will not even need to reset the time.
Service
If your Sunrise Radio is not operating properly, please contact BioBrite, Inc.
directly at [phone] for customer service and repairs. Please call before
sending anything in for repair—many times the problem can be remedied over
the phone. If repairs are necessary, keep the globe and bulb, secure the plug,
and carefully pack the clock base and send it along with your contact
information and a note explaining the problem to:

Using the “Snooze” Feature
To temporarily “snooze” the alarm, press the (-) button while the alarm is
operating (beeping, radio on or light flashing). The light, audible alarm or radio
will stop immediately, but will come on again in 10 minutes.
Activating the Sundown Sequence
Manually turn the light on to the intensity from which you wish the sundown to
start. Push the ALARM (☼) button up (on) to begin the sundown sequence. If
the light is at full intensity, the sun will “set” at the programmed speed. If it is
less than full brightness, it will set faster than the programmed speed.
Turning the Radio On or Off
Push the RADIO VOLUME/TUNING up arrow button (▲) to turn the radio on
and increase its volume. The display will read “VOLUME 1” through
“VOLUME 14”. Use the RADIO VOLUME/TUNING down arrow button (▼)
to reduce the volume or turn the radio off. You can also turn on the radio by
holding one of the preset buttons down. NOTE: The radio volume will be
louder if the clock is sitting on a hard surface close to you and will be softer if
on a soft material farther away from you.
Tuning the Radio
First, turn the radio on, and then push the RADIO TUNING button (√\/). At this
point, the display will change from showing time of day to showing the radio
station frequency. Use the RADIO VOLUME/TUNING arrow buttons (▲) and
(▼) to adjust the radio to your chosen station. A few seconds after you are done
tuning the arrow buttons will again control radio volume, and soon the display
will revert to showing the time of day. NOTE: Placement of the antenna can
affect the tuning and clarity of the radio station.
Using the Preset Stations
When you push button (1), the lower display will read “P1” with the frequency
of the preset station, e.g., “P1 88.5”. If you wish to change the preset station,
follow the radio tuning procedure to go to the station of your choice, and then
hold the button down for a few seconds until the lower display reads “P1” with
the new station frequency.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The light will not come on, but the clock still works.
Solution:Check to be sure the bulb is fully screwed into the socket. Look at the
bulb and see if the filament is broken. If it is, replace the bulb.
Problem: Neither the light nor the clock is working.
Solution: First, make sure there is power at the outlet by plugging in another
appliance or trying the clock at another outlet. Next, unplug the clock from the
wall for several seconds and plug it in. NOTE: By holding in the PROGRAM
(P) button while doing this, you will reset the clock to the default settings.
Setting the Time
Make sure the ALARM (☼) button is pressed down (off). Press the
PROGRAM (P) button twice. The display should read “SET CLOCK”. Then
use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the time. The time moves rapidly if (+) or
(-) button is held in.
Programming Wake up Features
Waking to the SunRise
The light will begin to gradually illuminate before your set wake-up time. The
Sunrise Radio is preset for a 30 minute wake-up sequence. This means the light
will begin illumination 30 minutes before your set alarm time and gradually get
brighter until it reaches full brightness at the set alarm time. To alter the wake-
up sequence length, press the PROGRAM (P) button until the Display reads
“SUNRISE 30”. Press the (+) or (-) button, and the display will alternate
between “SUNRISE 15" (15 minutes), “SUNRISE 30" (30 minute sunrise—
Default), “SUNRISE 45” (45 minutes), or “SUNRISE 60" (60 minutes).
Waking up to the Alarm Beeper
The audible alarm begins with a quiet beep, and gradually intensifies to full
volume over a period of time. The alarm beeper, shown as the symbol )) ) , is
preset ON. To disable the audible beeper, make sure the ALARM (☼) button is
pushed DOWN (off). Press the PROGRAM (P) button 5 times until the display
reads, “BEEP ON” or “BEEP OFF”. Then press the (+) or (-) button to
alternate between the two. When the unit switches to “BEEP OFF”, the )) )
symbol will no longer be displayed. NOTE: When the beeper is deactivated, the
radio wake feature will automatically come on.

Waking to the Radio
The radio wake feature is only accessible when the alarm BEEP is programmed
OFF. If you would like to change this setting, push the (P) button until you see
“RADIOWAKE ON” or “RADIOWAKE OFF” on the display. The “#”
symbol will appear on the display when the feature is on. In this mode, the radio
station programmed to “P1” will come on at your chosen alarm time.
Waking up to a Flashing Light
If you would like to wake up to a flashing light, push the PROGRAM (P) button
until you see “FLASHING OFF” on the display. Push the (+) or (-) button until
it reads “FLASHING ON” and the “!” symbol appears on the display. In this
mode, the light will flash on and off when it reaches your preset alarm time.
Programming Sleep Options
Falling asleep to a Sundown
Press the PROGRAM (P) button until the display reads “SUNSET” followed by
a number. Press the (+) or (-) button, and the display alternates between several
choices: “SUNSET 15" (15 minute sundown), “SUNSET 30" (30 minutes; this
is the default), “SUNSET 45” (45 minutes), and “SUNSET 60" (60 minutes).
Falling Asleep to the Radio
The radio can fade out after you activate the alarm. Push the PROGRAM (P)
button until the display reads “RADIO SLP OFF”. Push the (+) or (-) button to
reach your choice. “RADIO SLP ON” will leave the radio on all night,
“RADIO SLP 15” will keep the radio on for 15 minutes, “RADIO SLP 30” for
30 minutes, etc, and “RADIO SLP AUTO” will turn the radio off a few
minutes after the light goes out in the sunset mode.
Falling Asleep with the Night Light On
This feature allows you to have the clock dim in the sundown mode, but to stop
dimming when it reaches approximately 5% intensity, for use as a Night Light.
Press the PROGRAM (P) button until the Display reads “NITELITE OFF” or
“NITELITE LO”, or “NITELITE HI”. Then press the (+) or (-) buttons and
the display will alternate between the three options.
Programming Other Options
Adjusting the Brightness of the Clock Display
Press the PROGRAM (P) button until the display reads “DISPLAY HI”, which
is the default setting. Press the (+) or (-) button, and the display changes to
“DISPLAY LO”, “DISPLAY MED”, or “DISPLAY AUTO”. In the
“DISPLAY AUTO” mode, the brightness of the display is automatically at a
high level during the day, but will switch to a lower level when you enable the
alarm at nighttime so it does not disturb you while sleeping. The display will
dim in this mode as the main light dims down when either the alarm has been set
and the ALARM (☼) button is up (on), or you have activated the sundown
mode. If you wish to dim the display without activating the alarm for the
following morning, press both the (+) and (-) buttons simultaneously for 2
seconds. This is known as “FRIDAY NIGHT MODE” because it works well
for Friday nights when one does not want to wake up early on Saturday
morning.
Changing to a 12 or 24 Hour Display
The clock is preset to a 12-hour display. To change to a 24-hour display, make
sure the ALARM button (☼) is down (off). Press the PROGRAM (P) button
until the display reads “24 HOUR” and “12 HOUR”. Then press the (+) or (-)
button to choose either option. The “PM” symbol on the clock display is only
present in the 12-hour mode.
Activating the Security Mode
This mode is useful when you are away on vacation, or your house is empty, and
you wish to give the appearance that someone is there. To turn on the Security
Mode, press the PROGRAM (P) button until the display reads “SECURITY
OFF”. Press the (+) or (-) button and the display will switch to “SECURITY
ON” indicating that the security mode is activated. During the security mode,
the clock will come on and off randomly between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. When this
function is set, and you’ve exited the programming mode, the main display will
read “SECURITY”. To exit the security mode upon your return, push any
button and “SECURITY” will no longer be displayed.
Setting the Date
Push the program button until the display reads “SHOW NO DATE”. In this
default mode, the bottom part of the display will normally be blank. If you wish
to show the date on the display, push the plus or minus button until the display
reads “SHOW DATE” then push the PROGRAM (P) button to set the day of
the week, year, month, and day of the month. Push the PROGRAM (P) button
once more to display the date as “SHOW DATE” which shows month and date
(e.g., “January 27”) or “DAY AND DATE” (e.g., “Tues, Jan 27”).
