FCC Information

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Audiovox could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Electrical power information

Power Supply: 120 V ~ 60 Hz

Power Consumption: 5 Watts

Before you begin

Refer to the “Clock” section and follow the instructions to set the clock.

Battery back-up operation

This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered with a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included). The power failure protection circuit will not operate unless battery is installed.

When normal household power is interrupted, or AC line cord is unplugged, the batteries will power the clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into memory.

When the battery backup functions, the digital display will not light, however, the function of alarm still occurs during the power interruption if remaining battery power is adequate.

Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will not have to reset the time or the alarm.

To install the battery:

1.Remove battery compartment door (located at the bottom of the radio) by applying thumb pressure to the tab on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet.

2.Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included) to the connector plug.

3.Replace the compartment door.

 

General controls

Power failure indicator

Right view

When AC power is interrupted

 

(disconnected) for a short period of

 

time, both time and alarm settings

 

will change (unless batteries are

 

installed). After AC power is restored

 

(reconnected), the Digital Display

 

will blink to indicate that power was

 

interrupted and you should re-adjust

 

the time and alarm settings.

Top view

 

Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/

 

IEC 6LR61) battery is

 

recommended. Carbon-zinc

 

battery may be used but memory

 

holding time will be substantially

 

reduced. Memory holding time

 

for a fresh alkaline battery is

 

approximately 8 hours (if radio

 

or alarm are not operated) which

 

should take care of short, nuisance-

 

type AC power failures. To preserve

 

battery life, the unit should remain

 

plugged into an AC outlet. As the

 

battery gets older, its voltage drops

 

and memory may be lost. Be sure

 

to replace the battery periodically.

 

Battery should be removed if the

 

unit will be stored for more than

 

one month. Leaky battery can

 

badly damage the clock radio.

time.

AM indicator lights when the time is set to AM.

PM indicator lights when the time is set to PM.

3.To save and exit the clock setting, release TIME.

Radio

Selecting radio mode

Slide ON/OFF/RADIO(WAKE)/ ALARM(WAKE) to ON to switch on radio. Slide to OFF to switch off radio.

Switching band

Slide the band switch AM/FM to select FM or AM band.

Tuning the radio

Rotate the TUNING knob on the right of the unit to adjust the radio frequency with reference to the tuning dial scale.

Built-in AFC

The Built In Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) works only on FM. It helps reducing drift on FM reception and keeping the radio locked in on the FM station to which it is tuned.

When tuning in FM stations, you may notice that the station you are tuning can be well-tuned on two or three nearby points on the dial. Always tune carefully at the loudest and clearest point.

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 of distant AM stations.
