Setup

1. Power Connection

1. Unpack the clock radio and all accessories.
2. Insert backup batteries (e.g., 9V battery, not included) into the battery compartment located on the bottom of the unit. This will preserve time settings during power interruptions.
3. Connect the power cord to the DC input jack on the back of the unit, then plug the other end into a standard wall outlet (AC 230V, 50Hz). The display will light up.

2. Setting the Time

1. Press and hold the "Time" button until the display starts flashing.
2. Use the "Rew" (rewind) or "Fwd" (forward) buttons to adjust the hour.
3. Press the "Time" button again to confirm the hour and move to minute adjustment.
4. Use the "Rew" or "Fwd" buttons to adjust the minutes.
5. Press the "Time" button one last time to save the current time.

3. Antenna Setup

For optimal FM radio reception, fully extend the wire antenna located at the back of the unit. For AM reception, rotate the unit for best signal.

Operating Instructions

Radio Operation

1. Press the "On-Off" button to turn on the radio.
2. Use the "Rew" or "Fwd" buttons to tune to your desired radio station. Hold the button for automatic scanning.
3. Adjust the volume using the dedicated volume control (if present, otherwise it might be integrated with Fwd/Rew or a separate dial).
4. Press the "On-Off" button again to turn off the radio.

Setting Alarms (Dual Alarm)

The Thomson RR 65 M supports two independent alarms.

1. Press and hold the "Alarm 1" or "Alarm 2" button until the alarm time flashes on the display.
2. Use the "Rew" or "Fwd" buttons to set the desired alarm hour.
3. Press the respective "Alarm" button again to confirm the hour and move to minute adjustment.
4. Use the "Rew" or "Fwd" buttons to set the desired alarm minutes.
5. Press the respective "Alarm" button one last time to save the alarm time.
6. To select the alarm source (radio or buzzer), press the "Alarm" button repeatedly until the desired icon (radio wave or bell) appears next to the alarm number.

Snooze Function

When the alarm sounds, press the "Snooze" button (often a large button on top) to temporarily silence the alarm for approximately 9 minutes. The alarm will sound again after this period.

Sleep Function (NAP)

The sleep function allows you to fall asleep to the radio, which will automatically turn off after a set period (10-120 minutes).

1. While the radio is playing, press the "NAP" or "Sleep" button.
2. Repeatedly press the button to cycle through the available sleep times (e.g., 10, 20, 30, ..., 120 minutes).
3. The radio will automatically turn off after the selected duration.

Grade-U-Wake Function

This feature gradually increases the alarm volume (whether radio or buzzer) over a short period, providing a gentler wake-up experience.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the unit, unplug it from the power outlet. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents as they may damage the finish. Avoid getting liquids inside the unit.

Battery Replacement

If the time display becomes dim or disappears during a power outage, the backup battery may need replacement. Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit, remove the old battery, and insert a new one of the same type (e.g., 9V). Ensure correct polarity.
