ADJUSTING THE DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS

The light intensity of the digital display can be adjusted for day/nigh! lighting conditions. With each press of the BRIGHTNESS switch, the brightness will toggle between high and low.

ANTENNAS

AM Antenna - A built-in ferrite rod antenna eliminates the need for an outside antenna for AM reception. Rotating the unit slightly may improve reception for distant AM stations.

FM Antenna - The power cord acts as your FM antenna. The power cord picks up moderate to strong stations and eliminates the need for an external antenna in most strong signal areas. For best recep- tion, be sure the power cord is stretched out to its full length. Do not coil or bunch the cord together. Changing position of the power cord may improve reception.

NO-WORRY BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM

The clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered by a customer-installed 9 volt alkaline battery (not includ- ed). The power failure protection circuit will not operate unless a bat- tery is installed.

When normal household power is interrupted, or AC line cord is unplugged, the battery will power the clock radio to maintain time

and alarm settings. When on battery power, the digital display will not light. However, should WAKE TIME occur during the power in- terruption, the radio will operate or the alarm will sound if remaining battery power is adequate. Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset time or alarm.

Install battery as follows:

1.To remove battey compartment door (located on bottom of radio), push the door latch in the direction of the arrow on the battery door and lift door off cabinet.

2.Connect a 9-volt batte~ to connectors.

3.Insert battery in compartment and replace compartment door.

NOTE: Alkaline batteries are recommended. Carbon-zinc batteries may be used but memory holding time will be substantially reduced.

Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 4 hours, which should take care of short, nuisancetype AC power failures. To preserve battery power, the unit should remain plugged into an AC outlet. Aa batteries get older, their voltage drops and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the batte~ periodically and dispose of the “dead” batte~ in a proper manner, in accordance with your State and local regulations. Remove battery if the unit will be unplugged or stored for more than a few weeks. A leaky battery can damage the unit.

2-9720 specifications

The GE 2-9720 is a cutting-edge locomotive model developed by General Electric, designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern railroads for efficiency, power, and environmental sustainability. Entering service in the early 2000s, the 2-9720 is part of GE's Evolution Series, which focuses on advanced technology and fuel efficiency.

One of the main features of the GE 2-9720 is its powerful 12-cylinder engine, specifically designed to provide high horsepower while being environmentally friendly. The locomotive is equipped with the GE Tier 3 compliant and Ecomagination technology, which helps reduce emissions compared to older models. The locomotive meets strict EPA standards, making it a suitable choice for rail operators looking to minimize their environmental footprint.

The GE 2-9720 also incorporates the latest in electronic controls, which enhance the overall performance and reliability of the locomotive. The advanced microprocessor control system allows for real-time diagnostics and maintenance planning, ensuring optimal performance under varying conditions. Operators benefit from features such as traction control, which optimizes adhesion on different rail conditions, improving safety and efficiency during operations.

Another notable characteristic of the GE 2-9720 is its dynamic braking system. This technology converts kinetic energy back into electrical energy, which can be fed back into the locomotive's systems or used to power other trains on the line, thus enhancing overall energy efficiency. This feature is especially beneficial for operations involving frequent stops, gradients, or heavy loads.

Additionally, the GE 2-9720 is designed with crew comfort and safety in mind. The operator's cab is ergonomically equipped with advanced user interfaces for monitoring train performance, ensuring that engineers have the necessary tools to operate the locomotive efficiently. Safety systems include enhanced visibility features for improved situational awareness and automatic fault detection systems that alert operators to potential issues before they become critical.

The durable construction of the GE 2-9720 ensures long-lasting performance and reduced maintenance costs. With its rugged design, the locomotive is well-suited for various railway applications, including freight transport and passenger services. The combination of power, efficiency, and advanced technology makes the GE 2-9720 a popular choice among rail operators looking to enhance their fleets and improve operational performance in today's competitive rail industry.
