Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or modifications not expressly approved by Thomson Inc. could void the user's authority to operate this product. This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this equipment may cause interference to radio and television reception. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by unplugging the unit), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is "receiving" the interference). • Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference. • Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are on different branch circuits. If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.

Before You Begin Plugging In For Power AC OUTLET POWER SUPPLY: 120V~60Hz 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. Note: Power is fed to the unit even when it is not functioning. To cut the power supply off, the power cable must be unplugged. Power Failure Indicator When AC power is interrupted (disconnected) for a short period of time, both time and alarm settings will change (unless battery is installed). After AC power is restored (reconnected), the Digital Display will blink to indicate that power was interrupted and you should readjust the time and alarm settings. GEFAHR EINES ELEKTRISCHEN SCHLAGS Radio Switching Band Slide the BAND/FM•AM switch on the left of the unit to select FM or AM band. Tuning the Radio Turn the TUNING knob on the left of the unit to adjust radio frequency. FM Antenna The FM antenna cord is attached at the back of the unit. We recommend the cord be fully extended for best FM reception. 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. Display Brightness Clock time and radio frequency are display on the display area at the front of the unit. You can adjust the brightness of the display by sliding BRIGHTNESS/ LO••HI on the right of the unit. Safety Information For Your Safety The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the 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.
