PREPARATION FOR USE

Unpacking and Set-up

Remove the unit from the shipping carton and remove all packing material from the unit. Please save the carton and packing material if possible in the event that your unit ever needs to be returned for service. Using the original carton and packing materials is the only way to protect your unit from damage in transit.

Carefully remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to keep the CD door closed during shipment.

Press on the CD door in the area marked “OPEN/CLOSE” to open the door. Inside the CD compartment you will see a white “dummy CD” transit protection card. This card prevents the laser pick-up from moving during shipment and it must be removed before you can load your own CDs. Carefully remove this transit protection card and discard it.

Place the unit on a stable, level surface such as a table, desk, shelf, stand, etc, out of direct sunlight and away from sources of excess heat, dust, vibration, moisture, or humidity, and convenient to a 120V 60Hz AC outlet.

Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length.

This is important. The FM antenna is built into the AC power cord.

Battery Back-up Systems

This model has two separate battery back up systems. There is a built in 3-Volt CR2430 long life lithium battery that will maintain the clock and alarm settings. The lithium battery may last for up to five years or even longer, depending on the frequency and length of the power interruptions that you experience in your home. If AC power is interrupted the display will go off, but the lithium battery will continue to power the clock. If the AC power is off at the wake up time, the alarm will not operate. However if the AC power is restored within one hour of the wake up time the alarm will come on immediately.

We have also provided a separate Sure-Alarm battery back up circuit that requires a 9-Volt battery, not included.

If you install a 9-Volt battery, the Buzzer alarm will operate in BUZZER or MUSIC mode, even if the power is ‘Off’at the selected wake-up time.
