Preparation for USE, Unpacking and SET UP

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 not remove any labels or stickers from the back or bottom of the cabinet.

•Note the serial number on the bottom of your radio and write this number in the space provided on Page 1 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 AC power cord 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.

SURE-ALARM BATTERY BACK UP SYSTEM

The Sure-Alarm battery back up system in this radio will maintain the time and alarm settings in the event of a temporary power interruption. When the power is restored the time and alarm settings will be correct. If the power is off at your wake up time, the Sure-Alarm system will use the battery power to turn on the radio or buzzer alarm as usual, as long as the back up battery is installed and has sufficient power remaining.

The Sure-Alarm battery back up system requires one 9-volt battery, not included. We recommend that you install an alkaline battery for longest life and best performance.
