UNPACKING AND SET UP
Remove the clock radio from the carton and remove all packing material from the
clock radio. We suggest that you save the packing material, in the unlikely event
that your radio ever needs to be returned for service. The original carton and packing
material is the only safe way to pack your radio to protect it from damage in transit.
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 Page 2 of this manual.
Place your clock 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.

This radio is designed to operate on 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not attempt to
operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage to the radio
that is not covered by your warranty.
This radio should be connected to an AC outlet that is always 'live'. Do not connect it to
an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. When the power to the radio is interrupted,
the Sure Alarm battery back up system takes over to maintain the time and alarm
settings. To maximize the life of the back up battery, keep the radio connected to a
'live' AC outlet at all times.
The battery back up system in this clock radio will maintain the time and alarm settings
in the event of a temporary power interruption. When the AC power is restored the time
and alarm settings will be correct. If the AC power is off at your wake up time, the
system will use the battery power to turn on the radio or buzzer alarm as usual, as long
as the back up battery is installed and has sufficient power remaining.
The battery back up system requires one 9-volt battery, not included. We recommend
that you install an alkaline battery for longest life and best performance.
