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
interrupted, or AC line cord is
unplugged, the back-up battery will
power the clock radio to keep track of
time and alarm settings programmed
into memory. When the battery
backup functions, the function of alarm
still occurs during the power
interruption 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. With battery back-up, if
Wake to Radio or Wake to CD is
activated during power interuption,
Wake to Tone will operate instead.
Wake mode will operate normally
again once power is resumed.
Power Failure Indicator
When AC power is interrupted
(disconnected) for a short period of
time, both time and alarm settings will
change (unless optional battery is
installed). After AC power is restored
(reconnected), the Digital Display will
blink to indicate that power was
interrupted and you should readjust the
time and alarm settings.
Note:Note:
Note:Note:
Note:
Alkaline (6LR61/NEDA 1604A)
batteries are recommended.
Carbon-zinc battery may be used
but memory holding time will be
substantially reduced. Memory
holding time for a fresh alkaline
battery is approximately 8 hours
(if radio or alarm are not
operated) which should take care
of short, nuisance-type AC power
failures. To preserve battery life,
the unit should remain plugged into
an AC outlet. As the battery gets
older, its voltage drops and
memory may be lost. Be sure to
replace the battery periodically.
Battery should be removed if the
unit will be stored for more than
one month. Leaky battery can badly
damage the clock radio.
Install battery as follow:
1. Remove battery compartment door
(located at the bottom of the radio)
by applying thumb pressure to the
tab on battery door and then lift the
door out and off the cabinet.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery to the
connector plug.
3. Replace the compartment door.

Handling Compact Discs
•Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold
by the edges, or by one edge and the
hole.
•Do not affix labels or adhesive tape to
the label surfaces. Also, do not scratch
or damage the label.
•Discs rotate at high speeds inside the
player. Do not use damaged (cracked
or warped) discs.
Cleaning Compact Discs
•Dirty discs can cause poor sound
quality. Always keep discs clean by
wiping them gently with a soft cloth
from the inner edge toward the outer
perimeter.
•If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft
cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe
the dirt away gently, and then remove
any water drops with a dry cloth.
•Do not use record cleaning sprays or
anti-static agents on discs. Also, never
clean discs with benzene, thinner, or
other volatile solvents which may
cause damage to the disc surface.
CD Lens Care
When your CD lens gets dirty it can also
cause the unit to output poor sound
quality. To clean the lens you will need to
purchase a CD lens cleaner which can
maintain the output sound quality. For
instructions on cleaning the CD lens,
refer to the ones accompanying the lens
care.
Cleaning the Exterior
Prior to cleaning the exterior, be sure to
unplug the power cord from the AC
power outlet. Wipe the exterior with a
soft, clean, and slightly water-
dampened cloth.
Precautions
•Never open the cabinet under any
circumstances. Any repairs or
internal adjustments should be
made only by a trained technician.
•Warning: Never operate this product
with the cabinet removed.
•The CD player of this unit uses a
laser to read the music on the disc.
The laser mechanism corresponds to
the cartridge and stylus of a record
player. Although this product
incorporates a laser pick-up lens, it is
completely safe when operated
according to directions.
•Discs rotate at high speed inside the
player. Do not use damaged, warped
or cracked discs.
•Do not touch the pick-up lens which
is located inside the disc
compartment. Also, to keep dust
from collecting on the pick-up lens,
do not leave the compartment door
open for an extended period of
time.
