Thank you for purchasing this SmartSet®CD clock radio. It’s world’s first
and only LED CD clock radio that will automatically set itself to the correct
‘Year’, ‘Month’, ‘Date’, ‘Day’, and ‘Time’ as soon as you plug it in. The only
thing you have to do is tell the CD clock radio what time zone you are in,
and the built in computer does everything else for you immediately. And
not only the first time, but every time the power is interrupted as well.
We all know how annoying it is to wake up in the morning and see the
dreaded flashing “12:00” display on our clocks or clock radios. This means
that your power was interrupted some time during the night while you were
sleeping and your clock doesn’t know what time it is anymore. Unfortunately
it probably also means that you are late for work, or for school, again. But
with SmartSet®the dreaded flashing “12:00” display is a thing of the past.
SmartSet®resets itself as soon as the power is restored and gets you up
on time, every time.
The SmartSet®CD Clock Radio has dual alarms with 5 different
programming options:
• Monday through Friday only;
• Monday through Saturday only;
• All Seven Days;
• Saturday and Sunday only, or
• Sunday only.
With these options you almost never have to worry about the alarm waking
you up on days that you want to sleep in.
For future reference, record the serial number in the space provided.

MANUAL TIME ADJUSTMENTS
Some people like to set their clocks 5 to 10 minutes fast to make sure that they will

option of adjusting the time manually if you wish.
To manually adjust the time display depress and hold the TIME button, and press
either the SKIP FWD/UP or SKIP REV/DOWN buttons to adjust the time display
ahead or back as desired. Each press of the SKIP FWD/UP or SKIP REV/DOWN
buttons will change the display by one minute. If you hold the SKIP FWD/UP or
SKIP REV/DOWN buttons the display will continue to change. The display will
change slowly at first, one minute at a time. But if you continue holding the SKIP
FWD/UP or SKIP REV/DOWN buttons, the display will change rapidly.
Notes:
• If you manually adjust the time, your new setting is entered into the unit memory.
If the power is interrupted, the display will return to your new setting, when the
power is restored.
• You can adjust the time setting while the radio is playing or while the power is
‘Off’, but you cannot adjust the time when the function selector is set to the CD
mode.
