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 . To maximize the life of the lithium battery keep the radio connected to a 'live' AC outlet at all times.

PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking And Set Up
•Remove the radio from the carton and remove all packing material from the radio. We suggest that you save the packing material, if possible, 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 n o t r e m o v e a n y l a b e l s o r s t i c k e r s f r o m t h e b a c k o r b o t t o m o f t h e c a b i n e t .
•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 Line cord connecting the AC adapter 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.
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.
Power Source
This radio is designed to operate on normal 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting The Time, The First Time
IMPORTANT: 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 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 Smart Set® will remember the new default zone setting and will always return to that setting after a power interruption.
There are 7 time zones programmed into your Smart Set® clock radio as follows :
ZONE 1 | — Atlantic Time | ZONE 2 — Eastern Time (Default Setting) |
ZONE 3 | — Central Time | ZONE 4 | — Mountain Time |
ZONE 5 | — Pacific Time | ZONE 6 | — Yukon Time |
ZONE 7 | — Hawaiian Time | | |
To c h a n g e t h e d e f a u l t t i m e z o n e d i s p l a y, depress the TIME ZONE button . The number "2" will appear on the display indicating that the default zone is ZONE 2, Eastern Time.
.
Manual Time Adjustments
Some people like to set their clocks 5 to 10 minutes fast to make sure that they will always be on time. Even though the SmartSet® sets the time by itself, you still have the option of adjusting the time manually if you wish.
To manually adjust the time display depress and hold the TIME button, and press either the SET + or - buttons to adjust the time display ahead or back as desired. Each press of the SET + or - buttons will change the display by one minute. If you hold the SET + or - buttons the display will continue to change. The display will change slowly at first, one minute at a time. But if you continue holding the SET +or
-buttons the display will change rapidly.
NOTE: I f y o u m a n u a l l y a d j u s t t h e t i m e , y o u r n e w s e t t i n g i s e n t e r e d i n t o t h e 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 The Wake Up Times
Your SmartSet ® 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.) Depress and hold either the ALARM 1 or
AM
ALARM 2 setting button . The display will change from the correct time to the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 wake up time.
2.) While holding the ALARM 1or ALARM 2 setting button, depress either the SET + or - button to move the display ahead or back to your desired wake up time.
3.) When the desired wake up time appears on the display, release the SET + or - buttons.
NOTE: Be sure that you have set the wake up time correctly by observing the AM indicator. If the AM indicator is 'On ' the wake up time is "AM". If the AM indicator is 'Off', the wake up time is "PM".
4.) When the desired wake up time (AM or PM) appears on the display, release the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 setting buttons.
Selecting The Alarm Week Mode
Your SmartSet ® clock radio allows you to select from among three different alarm operation modes for either alarm. The alarm modes are:
•Everyday ― the alarm will turn on all 7 days.
•Weekdays only ― the alarm will only turn on Monday through Friday;
•Weekends only ― the alarm will only turn on Saturday and Sunday.
To check the Alarm Mode setting for Alarm1, depress the ALARM 1 setting button. The display will show the Alarm 1 wake up time and the DAY OF WEEK indicators will show you the alarm mode which is selected.
