other) and only fits into AC
power outlets one way. If the
plug will not go into the outlet
completely, turn the plug over
and try to insert it the other
way. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to change the outlet, or use a
different one. Do not attempt to bypass this
safety feature.

Auto Clock Set
You do not have to set the clock time as a
built-in automatic time set system is
equipped in this clock powered by 3V (2
X AA batteries (included). All you have to
do is to plug this clock for power and
current time will be shown automatically.
However, the batteries can also be

FM Antenna
The FM antenna cord is attached at the

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.

Battery Back-Up Operation
This clock radio is equipped with a
memory holding system that can be
powered with 2 “AA” batteries (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.
Install batteries as follow:
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. Insert 2 AA batteries (included).
3. Replace the compartment door.
Note: we recommend that you replace the
batteries every 2-3 years.
