Outdoor Temperature A separate digital thermometer is included which can remotely transmit temperature information to the main unit and shows at the lower right of the display indicated by "OUT". Install 2 "AAA" batteries (not included) in the thermometer. 1. Unscrew at the battery compartment to open the door. 2. Install two "AAA" batteries by referring to the indications in the compartment. 3. Replace the battery compartment door of the thermometer and secure closing with the screw. Once the main unit (clock radio) is plugged for power, it can automatically synchronize with the digital thermometer (with batteries installed) to show the temperature. You do not need to do anything. However, if you find abnormal temperature display on the main unit, you may synchronize the temperature manually by following the steps below: 1. At the main unit (clock radio): press and hold ID until the temperature display "- - -" at the lower right of the display starts scrolling. 2. At the digital thermometer: Unscrew at the battery compartment to open the door. Press and hold ID inside the battery compartment until the antenna icon on the display of the thermometer flashes. Synchronization starts automatically and should be finished within several seconds. • When synchronization succeeds, the antenna icon stops flashing and the synchronized temperature shows on the main unit. 3. If synchronization fails (no temperature shows on the main unit), perform step 2 again. If synchronization still fails after several attempts and the temperature display "- - -" on the main unit stops scrolling and starts to flash, you have to perform both steps 1 and 2 again. Before You Begin Battery Back-Up Operation This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered with 2 "AA" batteries (included and installed). 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. Replace 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. 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 batteries are 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. Radio Selecting Radio Mode Press RADIO/AUX to switch on radio. Switching Band Slide the AM/FM switch on the back of the unit to select AM or FM band. Tuning the Radio Turn the TUNING knob on the right of the unit to adjust radio frequency. Radio frequency shows on the display. FM Antenna The power cord acts as your FM antenna. The power cord picks moderate to strong stations and eliminates the need for an external antenna in most strong signal areas. Be sure the power cord is stretched out to its full length. Changing position of the power cord may improve 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. Listening to Auxiliary Source 1. Connect your auxiliary source (e.g. mp3 player) to the AUX input jack on the right side of the unit. 2. Turn on the unit and your auxiliary source. 3. Press RADIO/AUX to switch to listen to auxiliary source. The AUX indicator on the front display will turn on. Press again to switch back to listen to the radio. Auto Brightness Control Clock time and radio frequency are display on the display area at the front of the unit. The display brightness can be adjusted automatically by analyzing the intensity of surrounding light sources. Slide AUTO DIMMER on the back of the unit to ON position to activate the function. Thermometer Line Out Temperature Sensor If you are going to install the thermometer outdoor with extreme temperatures (below 14oF (-10oC) ), the use of line out temperature sensor (included) is recommended to avoid battery failure. Insert the sensor connector to the receptor (below ID button) in the battery compartment. The sensor wire should be extended from battery compartment through the hole at the lower left of the door. Back view with battery compartment door removed (batteries not included) Battery door screw hole oC/oF - selects temperature scale shows on the display. ID - performs temperature information synchronization with the main unit. Receptor for connecting the line out temperature sensor (included). Placing thermometer The digital thermometer can be fixed on walls with the included holder (screws not provided). If you are placing it outdoor, ensure that it does not get wet by rain and is not under direct sunlight. If you are using the line out temperature sensor, place the thermometer indoor and extend the sensor wire outside the window. Tips: • The thermometer sends the latest temperature information to the main unit every 35 seconds. There may be delay on the main unit to show the most updated temperature changes. • When the outdoor temperature display is flashing on the main unit, there may be no signal receiving from the digital thermometer. Please make sure the batteries of the thermometer are not empty and the thermometer is not placed too far from the main unit and without obstacles between them. Note: Both the main unit and thermometer will show "LLL" if temperature is lower than -58oF (-50oC) and will show "HHH" if it is higher than 140oF (60oC). 5630 6080 (EN/E) user manual EN/E RP5440 It is important to read this instruction book prior to using your new product for the first time.
