FCC Information
FCC Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Thomson
multimedia Inc. could void the user’s authority to
operate this product.
This device generates and uses radio frequency
(RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly,
this equipment may cause interference to radio
and television reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio
or television reception (which you can determine
by unplugging the unit), try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the
antenna for the radio or television that is
“receiving” the interference).
• Move the unit away from the equipment that is
receiving interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that
the unit and the equipment receiving interference
are on different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the
interference, please consult your dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions. Also, the Federal
Communications Commission has prepared a
helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve
Radio TV Interference Problems.” This booklet is
available from the U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, DC 20402. Please specify stock
number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.
For Your Safety
The AC power plug is
polarized (one blade is wider
than the other) and only fits
into AC power outlets one
way. If the plug will not go
into the outlet completely,
turn the plug over and try to insert it the other
way. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to change the outlet, or use a different
one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.
For Your Records
In the event that service should be required, you
may need both the model number and the serial
number. In the space below, record the date and
place of purchase:

Battery Back-Up Operation
This clock radio is equipped with a memory
holding system that can be powered with
a 9-volt battery (not included). The power
failure protection circuit will not operate
unless battery is installed.
When normal household power is inter-
rupted, or AC line cord is unplugged, the
battery will power the clock radio to keep
track of time and alarm settings pro-
grammed into memory. When the battery
backup functions, the digital display will
not be backlighted, however, the function
of alarm still occurs during the power in-
terruption if remaining battery power is
adequate. Normal operation will resume
after AC power is restored so you will not
have to reset the time or the alarm.
Install battery as follows:
1. Remove battery compartment door (lo-
cated at the bottom of the radio) by ap-
plying thumb pressure to area indicated
on battery door and then lift the door
out and off the cabinet.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery to the connec-
tor plug.
3. Insert battery in the compartment and
replace the compartment door.
Power Failure Indicator
When AC power is interrupted (discon-
nected) for a short period of time, both
time and alarm settings will change (un-
less optional battery is installed). After AC
power is restored (reconnected), the Digi-
tal Display will blink to indicate that power
was interrupted and you should readjust
the time and alarm settings.
Note: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A / IEC 6LR61) battery is
recommended. Carbon Zinc (NEDA 1604 / IEC 6F22) bat-
tery may be used but memory holding time will be substan-
tially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is
approximately 8 hours (if radio or alarm is not operated), which should
take care of short, nuisance-type AC power failures. To preserve
battery life, the radio should remain plugged into an AC outlet. As
batteries get older, their voltage drops and memory may be lost. Be
sure to replace the battery periodically. Battery should be removed
if the radio will be stored for more than one month. Leaky batter-
ies may badly damage the clock radio.
