Thank you for purchasing this Emerson SmartSet® Dual Alarm Clock Radio with
Time Projection System, and iPod Docking Station.
This clock radio uses Emerson’s patented SmartSet® Automatic Time Setting
System. The first time you connect this clock radio to your AC outlet, and after
every power interruption, within seconds the clock will automatically set itself to
the correct Year, Month, Date, Day, and Time. You will never see that annoying,
flashing “12:00” display again. In addition all changes from Standard Time to
Daylight Saving Time, and back to Standard Time, are made automatically.
There are dual alarms that can be set and used independently, which means that
you can set one alarm to wake you to the buzzer and the other to wake you to
music. And both of the alarms can be programmed for everyday operation,
weekdays only, or weekends only.
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.
This model also includes an integrated clock time projector that will project the
time in large RED numerals on the wall or ceiling of a dark room. This allows you
to see the time without actually looking at the clock itself.
There is a long life lithium battery installed in this clock radio when you buy it. This
battery can maintain the time and alarm settings for 3 to 5 years, or even longer,
so there is no need to pay for a new 9-volt battery every 6 months, as is
recommended in other clock radios with normal battery back up.
We have taken every precaution to make sure this radio was in perfect working
order when it left our factory. If you encounter any problems with the set up or
operation of this item, please call the Emerson Consumer Products Corp.,
Customer Service Hotline, toll free, at 1-800-898-9020.
Once again, thank you for purchasing this Emerson SmartSet® Clock Radio.
iPod®is a trademark of Apple Computer Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

17.) The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids,

19.) Main plug is used as disconnect device and it should remain readily operable during intended use.
In orde to disconnect the apparatus from the mains completely, the mains plug should be
disconnected from the mains socket outlet completely.

Unpacking And SetUp
• This carton contains the main unit and 5 different iPod adapters so that you
can securely connect any dockable iPod to the top mounted docking station.
Remove the radio from the carton and remove all packing materials from the
components. We suggest that you save the carton and packing materials if
possible in the event that your unit ever needs to be returned for service.
Using the original carton and packing materials is the only way to protect
your unit from damage in shipment.
• Remove any descriptive labels or stickers on the front or top of the cabinet.
Do not remove any labels or stickers from the back or bottom of the cabinet.
• Note the serial number on the bottom of your radio and write this number in
the space provided on the Warranty page of this manual.
• Place your radio on a level surface such as a table, desk or shelf, convenient
to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat,
dirt, dust, moisture, humidity, or vibration.
• Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. The FM antenna is
built in to this cord. It must be fully extended to provide the best FM reception.
PREPARATIONFORUSE
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 centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
