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 settings, the alarm settings and the tuner preset memory 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. When AC power is restored the display comes on again and all your settings are correct.

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 RADIO mode, even if the power is off at the selected wake-up time.
