PREPARATION FOR USE

Unpacking and Set Up

Remove the alarm clock radio from the carton and packaging materials. Retain the carton and packaging for future reference and in case the alarm clock radio ever needs to be serviced or transported.
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 the Warranty page of this manual.
Place your radio on a level surface such as a table, desk or shell, convenient to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dirt, dust, moisture, humidity or vibration.
Select and attach the appropriate plug attachment to the AC mains adapter. Unwind and fully extend the power cable.

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, and cleaning sprays may cause the rubber “feet” to soften and leave marks on the furniture. To avoid the risk of such damage to your furniture we recommend either a piece of cloth or self-adhesive felt pads attached to the underside of the alarm clock radio.
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

Avoid installing this alarm clock radio in direct sunlight, close to sources of heat, where there is poor ventilation and places that are dusty, humid, wet or subject to vibration.
Operate controls and switches as described in the manual.
Before turning on the power, make certain that the AC adapter is properly installed.
When moving the unit, be sure to ﬁrst disconnect the AC adapter. Do not use the AC power adapter if any part of it shows signs of damage.
