Setting up
Installing a 9-volt battery maintains accurate time in case of a power
outage. Install it in the bottom of the unit (see Figure 1). An alkaline
battery is recommended.
During a power outage, the display will not light up. If the Control Clock
88 “TONE” alarm was on when the power was interrupted, it will still
function. The “RADIO” wake-up will not work during a power outage.
The battery maintains time and alarm settings for approximately 48
hours. Remove the battery if the unit is unplugged for more than an hour
or so. The low battery indicator (see Figure 2) will light if the battery
needs replacement or power is interrupted. After battery replacement or
when power is restored, this indicator may take 15 minutes to
disappear. This is normal. Verify time and alarm settings after battery
replacement.
Placement
The Control Clock 88 tone alarm is most effective when the unit is
placed on a hard, flat surface. If the unit is placed on a soft cloth
surface, the tone output level may be reduced.
Plug the Control Clock 88 into an unswitched AC outlet.
Place the Control Clock 88 in a convenient location.
Place your Model 88 in its best sounding location. You may wish to
adjust the Model 88’s subwoofer control for optimum bass output. Test
the remote control functions of the Control Clock 88 to verify proper
operation. Adjust the Control Clock 88’s directional emitter as necessary
to establish control of the Model 88 (see Figure 4).
Thank you for purchasing the Control Clock 88 by Henry Kloss. It adds
“clock radio” functions to your Model 88. Place your Model 88 anywhere
in the room. Your Control Clock 88 keeps all essential control functions
close at hand.
The Control Clock 88 offers the convenience of two separate alarms.
Either may be set to tone wake-up, music wake-up, or both. See next
page for alarm setting instructions.
Please read this operation manual to receive maximum benefit from your
Control Clock 88. Save this manual for future reference.
IMPORTANT: Remove battery when unit is not
connected to AC Power for more than an hour.

Front display
“ALM ONE” Indicates alarm 1 is on.
“TONE RADIO” Indicates which wake-up will activate; tone, radio or
both.
“ALM TWO” Indicates alarm 2 is on.
CLOCK DISPLAY Shows the current time. When either alarm’s “on”
button (see Figure 3, F) is pressed, it shows the
alarm time, which remains displayed for about 5
seconds after release of the button.
“BATT” Indicates battery needs replacing. After replacement,
this display may take up to 15 minutes to disappear.
This is normal.
To set clock
Hold down “SET” (G) button to activate time setting. Use the “TIME”
buttons, “▲” or “▼” (H), to change the current time setting. When setting
time, the display moves forward or back slowly for the first 5 digits, then
proceeds rapidly. If you pass the desired setting, simply reverse direction
to set desired time. The “▲” and “▼” buttons are not active unless “SET”
(G) is held down.
Figure 2
Wakeup Operation
• The Control Clock 88 stores two separate wake up times (ALARM ONE
and ALARM TWO).
• Each Control Clock 88 alarm can activate the clock’s internal alarm
(TONE), turn on the Model 88 (RADIO), or both. These instructions
apply to either alarm.
• To wake to the radio, be sure the Model 88 is off, and was last tuned to
a radio station and left at an adequate volume.
• The wake up time for either ALARM ONE or ALARM TWO can be
adjusted to an earlier or later time by pressing the “▲” and “▼”
buttons (C). This adjustment can be made at any time.
Activating ALARM ONE or ALARM TWO
to “Wake To Radio” and “Wake To Tone”
Press the “ON” button (F). The “TONE” and “RADIO” displays begin
blinking. While the display blinks, select either “T” (tone), “R” (radio), or
both. Pressing either “T” or “R” again will turn off that choice. “ALM
ONE,” “ALM TWO,” “TONE,” or “RADIO” will illuminate on the display. The
Control Clock 88 is now set to wake you as desired.
The display will revert to the current time approximately 5 seconds after
the last button is pressed. To check either alarm’s “Wake To” time, press
the “On” button (F). The time will be displayed for 5 seconds.
Turning off the alarms
After the “Wake To Radio“ feature has turned on the Model 88 radio, you
may turn off the radio with the “OFF” button (J). The radio may also be
turned off with its faceplate “OFF” button or remote control’s power
button “•”. Control Clock 88’s “Wake To Radio” feature remains active
and will turn on the radio 24 hours later.
After the Control Clock 88 wakes you by sounding its internal TONE alarm,
defeat the tone by pressing the “OFF” button (F) on the Control Clock 88.
This “OFF” button (F) may also be used to deactivate either “Wake To
Radio” or “Wake To Tone” settings. “Wake To Radio” or “Wake To Tone”
must be reactivated every time the “OFF” button (F) is pressed.
