When the battery power drops below a certain level, the BATT LOW indicator

will be displayed. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery

as soon as it is convenient for you to do so. To change the battery, proceed as

follows:

1. Purchase a replacement 3V

lithium battery. The

battery type is CR2430

or equivalent.

Note: Keep the product

connected to the AC outlet

during battery

replacement. This will

provide power while the

original battery is removed.

2. Turn the product upside down and use a small Phillips screwdriver to

loosen the small screw securing the lithium battery holder at the bottom

of the battery compartment. To avoid losing the screw, loosen it enough

to release the battery holder, but do not completely remove the screw.

Note: Be careful not to lose the small screw.

3. Open the outer battery door by pressing on the tab. Remove the

outer door.

4. Remove the battery holder from the cabinet. Then remove the original

battery from the holder noting polarity, and insert the new battery into

the holder using the same polarity.

Note: When you change the sleep timer from the 10-minute default

setting to a different setting, the new setting becomes the default setting.

Whenever you activate the sleep timer, it will begin with your new default

setting and count down to zero from that point.

3. To cancel the sleep timer before it counts down to “00” and shut the radio

off immediately, press SNOOZE.

Note: Remember that the station and volume settings you choose for

Sleep To Music Timer are the same settings you will hear if you set the

alarm for Waking to the Radio.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Changing the Lithium Battery

Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A

number of factors, such as the length of time between the date the product was

manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first time, determine the

amount of time before replacement. During this initial storage period, the lithium

battery supplies power to the inside computer memory. Once you plug the

product in, your household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is not being

used. A fresh lithium battery can supply power to the inside computer for at least

two years even if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your product was

connected to your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured and

you experience only the normal, short-duration power interruptions, your battery

may last for up to five years.

This product complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to

the following two conditions:

1. This product may not cause harmful interference.

2. This product must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation.

POWER SOURCE

This radio is designed to operate on normal AC power only. Do not attempt

to operate the radio on any other power source.

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 built-in lithium battery takes over to maintain the

time and alarm settings.

This system is equipped with a polarized AC power plug having one blade

wider than the other. This is a safety feature. If this plug does not fit into

your existing AC outlet, do not try to defeat this safety feature by filing the

wide blade to make it fit into your outlet.

3. When the desired wake-up time appears on the display, release UP or DOWN.

4. When the desired wake-up time (AM or PM) appears on the display, release

ALARM 1 or ALARM 2.

Note: If the AM indicator is on, the alarm will sound in the AM. If the AM

indicator is off, the alarm will sound in the PM.

Selecting Alarm Mode

Your Smar tSet

Clock Radio allows you to select from among three different

alarm operation modes for either alarm. The alarm modes are:

•Weekdays only—the alarm will sound on Monday through Friday

•Weekends only—the alarm will sound on Saturday and Sunday

•Everyday—the alarm will sound on all seven days.

To check the Alarm Mode setting for Alarm 1, press ALARM 1. The display will

show the Alarm 1 wake-up time, and the day of the week indicators will show

you the alarm mode selected. If all seven indicators are on, the Everyday

mode is selected. If only the Monday through Friday indicators are on, the

Weekdays-only mode is selected. If only the Saturday and Sunday indicators

are on, the Weekends-only mode is selected.

To change the Alarm Mode setting for Alarm 1, hold ALARM 1 and press

ALARM MODE until the day indicators show the desired mode setting—

Weekdays-only, Weekends-only or Everyday operation. Release ALARM MODE

and ALARM 1 and the display will return to the correct time.

Follow the same procedure to set the desired Alarm Mode for Alarm 2.

SET UP

•Place your product 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. Unwind the FM

lead wire antenna and extend it to its full length.

Adjusting Time Manually

Some people like to set their clocks fast to make sure that they will always be

on time. Even though the SmartSet

Clock Radio sets the time by itself, you

still have the option of adjusting the time manually.

To manually adjust the time display, press and hold TIME, and press either UP

or DOWN to adjust the time display ahead or back as desired. Each press of

UP or DOWN will change the display by one minute. If you hold UP or DOWN,

the display will continue to change. The display will change slowly at first,

one minute at a time. But if you continue holding UP or DOWN, the display

will change rapidly.

Note: If you manually adjust the time, your new setting is entered into the

SmartSet

memory. If the power is interrupted, the display will return to your

new setting, not the original setting, when the power is restored.

Adjusting Wake-Up Times

This clock radio has two separate alarms that can be set and used

independently. You may use the alarms to wake two people at different

times, or you may use one alarm for weekdays and the other for weekend

wake-up times. The procedure for adjusting the wake-up time is the same for

both Alarm 1 and Alarm 2.

1. Press and hold either ALARM 1 or ALARM 2. The display will change from

the correct time to the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 wake-up time.

2. While holding ALARM 1 or ALARM 2, press either UP or DOWN to move the

display ahead or back to your desired wake-up time.

CLOCK/ALARM OPERATION

Setting the Time

The first time you connect your new SmartSet

Clock Radio to the AC outlet,

the internal computer will automatically set the time correctly for the Eastern

Time Zone, which is the initial default setting. The display will scan for a few

seconds and then show the correct month, date, day and time in the Eastern

zone. If you live in the Eastern Time zone, there’s nothing else to do. Your

clock is set correctly and running.

If you do not live in the Eastern Time zone you must change the default zone

display to your own zone. You only do this one time and the SmartSet

will

remember the new default time zone setting and will always return to that

setting after a power interruption.

There are seven time zones programmed into your SmartSet

Clock Radio,

as follows:

Zone 1 - Atlantic Time Zone 5 - Pacific Time

Zone 2 - Eastern Time Zone 6 - Yukon Time

Zone 3 - Central Time Zone 7 - Hawaiian Time

Zone 4 - Mountain Time

Changing the Default Time Zone Display

•Press TIME ZONE. The number “2” will appear on the display indicating that

the default zone is Zone 2, Eastern Time.
