Safety Warnings

WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not use this plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted and there is no blade exposure. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated 'dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read and keep these instructions. Follow all instructions. Heed all warnings.
2. Do not block any ventilation openings.
3. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves, or other apparatus (including audio amplifiers) that produce heat.
4. If the provided AC mains adapter does not fit your outlet or is damaged, seek the advice of a qualified electrician before using a replacement mains adapter.
5. Protect the power cord from being walked on, knotted, snagged, or pinched.
6. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
7. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
8. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
9. Do not use the apparatus or its AC mains adapter in environments where there is a risk of water dripping or splashing. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases or drinks, near the apparatus or AC mains adapter.
10. The AC mains adapter should remain readily accessible so that AC power can be disconnected in an emergency. The AC mains adapter must be removed completely from the AC power outlet to disconnect the power supply.
11. The lithium battery must not be exposed to excessive heat (such as sunshine) and must be correctly installed. Refer to the Changing the Lithium Battery section for more information.

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 shelf, 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.
• Connect the mains adapter to the mains supply and the radio. Ensure the mains socket is switched on.

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. 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, ensure the AC power adapter remains connected and that the AC mains outlet is never turned off. Ideally, 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.
• Do not use the AC power adapter if any part of it shows signs of damage.
• 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 set, be sure to first disconnect the AC adapter.
