Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from
moving when you operate the controls. These ‘feet are made from non-migrating
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on
your furniture. However certain types of oil-based furniture polishes, wood
preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, and
leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to
your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive
felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers
everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet before you
place the product on fine wooden furniture.
Power Source
The alarm clock radio uses an AC power adapter of a kind that depends on where
the alarm clock radio is purchased. The AC power adapter for North America is
rated 120V at 60Hz and within Europe or Australia is rated 220-240V at 50Hz.
Using an incorrect AC power adapter is not covered by your warranty because it
may damage the alarm clock radio. A lithium battery is used to maintain the
time and alarm settings when the alarm clock radio loses AC mains power. To
maximize the life of the lithium battery and to keep the radio and alarm
functions active you must ensure the AC power adapter remains connected and
that the AC mains outlet is never turned off. Ideally, you should use an un-
switched mains outlet.
Important Notes
