Using the Unit

Nap Operation

Nap mode lets you set an alarm separate from the Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 settings. The nap wake to source by default is the buzzer alarm, but if an iPhone/iPod is docked (no other source is playing), that will act as the alarm source. If you are listening to the radio or aux-in source, it will be muted and the buzzer will sound at the selected wake time.

1.Press and release the Nap Button located on top of the unit as needed to adjust the nap timer for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes or OFF.

2.To cancel nap mode, press and release the Nap Button until OFF is displayed. To turn off the nap alarm once it sounds, press and release the Button.

Dimmer Operation

During normal operation (when no alarm is sounding), Press and release the Snooze/Dimmer Button to control the brightness of the LCD display.

Using the unit in Other Countries

Different regions of the world use different FM and AM (MW) radio frequency steps and ranges. You will need to select the one that matches the standards in your region (USA, EUROPE, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA,or CHINA). The default setting is USA; if you live in the US, you may skip this section.

1.Make sure the unit is OFF (not playing in any mode). Press and hold the Mode Button for about 5 seconds until “Radio xxx” appears in the lower part of display. Press and release the + or - Button to set the “xxx” to your region.

2.Press and release the Mode Button again (or no button within 10 seconds) to exit the radio frequency setting mode. Two beeps will confirm radio frequency setting.

Replacing the Backup Batteries

We recommend the use of alkaline batteries for longer life.

The unit comes with 2 AA back-up batteries installed to provide continuous alarm operation and clock settings in the event of a power failure. When the Battery Low Icon on the display is flashing, it is time to replace the back-up batteries.

1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit.

2. Please make sure the AC adaptor is connected, otherwise all settings may be lost during battery replacement.

3. Insert 2 AA batteries, checking that the polarity (+ and – ends of the battery) matches the drawing near the battery compartment. Close the compartment door.

Note: Make sure you dispose of batteries properly (see your local regulations).
