Congratulations!

And thank you for purchasing the SmartSet®Clock Radio from Emerson Research.

SmartSet®is the world’s first and only LED clock radio that will automatically set

itself to the correct ‘Year’, ‘Month’, ‘Date’, ‘Day’, and ‘Time’ as soon as you plug it

in. The only thing you have to do is tell the SmartSet®what time zone you are in,

and the built in computer does everything else for you immediately. And not only

the first time, but every time the power is interrupted as well.

We all know how annoying it is to wake up in the morning and see the dreaded

flashing “12:00” display on our clocks or clock radios. But with your SmartSet®

Clock Radio the dreaded flashing “12:00” display is a thing of the past.

The SmartSet®resets itself as soon as the power is restored and gets you up on

time, every time.

And if that isn’t enough, the SmartSet®computer also knows when Daylight Saving

Time begins and ends and it will adjust itself for those changes automatically for

the next 99 years! Leap Years too! And best of all, the long life lithium battery

backup battery is already installed in your radio. You don’t have to remember to

put a new 9-volt battery in your radio every 6 months. Under normal circumstances

the lithium battery can last for up to 5 years, and when it does need to be changed,

a low battery indicator will come on to let you know. The CR2430 lithium battery

is available almost anywhere that batteries are sold and it costs about the same

as a normal 9-volt battery.

The SmartSet®also gives you dual alarms that can be set to go off on weekdays

only, weekends only, or all 7 days. You can set one alarm to wake you up to

buzzer Monday through Friday when you have to get up early, and use the second

alarm to wake you up to soft music on Saturday and Sunday when you can sleep

in.

Someday all clocks and clock radios may be this smart. But today the technology

is only available from Emerson Research. We’re sure you’ll be happy and amazed

by your SmartSet®Clock Radio, and that it will give you many years of enjoyment

and dependable service.

Once again, all of us at Emerson Research thank you for your purchase.

PREPARATION FOR USE

POWER SOURCE

This radio is designed to operate on normal 110V-120V 60Hz AC power only. Do

not attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause

damage to the radio that is not covered by your warranty.

This radio should be connected to an AC outlet that is always ‘live’. Do not connect

it to an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. When the power to the radio is

interrupted, the built in lithium battery takes over to maintain the time and alarm

settings. To maximize the life of the lithium battery keep the radio connected to a

‘live’ AC outlet at all times

You will note that this system is

equipped with a polarized AC power

plug having one blade wider than the

other. This is a safety feature. If this

plug does not fit into your existing AC

outlet, do not try to defeat this safety

feature by filing the wide blade to make

it fit into your outlet. If this plug will

not fit into your outlet, you probably have an out-dated non-polarized AC outlet.

You should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed electrician.

UNPACKING AND SET UP

•Remove the radio from the carton and remove all packing material from the

radio. We suggest that you save the packing material, if possible, in the unlikely

event that your radio ever needs to be returned for service. The original carton

and packing material is the only safe way to pack your radio to protect it from

damage in transit.

•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 Page 1 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.

•Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. The FM antenna is

built in to this cord. It must be fully extended to provide the best FM reception.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SETTING THE TIME, THE FIRST TIME

IMPORTANT:

The first time you connect your new SmartSet®clock radio to the AC outlet the

internal computer will automatically set the time correctly for the Eastern Time

Zone, which is the initial default setting. The display will scan for a few seconds

and then set the correct month, date, day and time in the Eastern zone. If you live

in the Eastern Time zone, there’s nothing else to do. Your clock is set correctly

and running.

If you do not live in the Eastern Time zone you must change the default zone

display to your own zone. You only do this one time and the SmartSet®will

remember the new default zone setting and will always return to that setting after

a power interruption.

There are 7 time zones programmed into your SmartSet®clock radio as follows:

Zone 01 - Atlantic Time

Zone 02 - Eastern Time

Zone 03 - Central Time

Zone 04 - Mountain Time

Zone 05 - Pacific Time

Zone 06 - Yukon Time

Zone 07 - Hawaiian Time

To change the default time zone display, depress the Time Zone button. The

word “ZONE” appears in the main display, and the number “02” will appear on the

month/date display, indicating that the default zone is Zone 2, Eastern Time.

Hold the Time Zone button and then press either the Up or Down buttons until

your own time zone appears on the display, then release the buttons. The clock

display will change to the correct time in the time zone you selected. The clock

will always return to the correct time in the zone you selected after every power

interruption. If you move to a different time zone, simply change the default zone

display to the new zone and the SmartSet®will remember that setting for you.

DATE DISPLAY

The correct month and date appear in the small display. The month and date are

expressed numerically in the MM/DD format. For example, May 21st will be

displayed as (5.21). This display adjusts automatically for months of different

lengths. For example, at midnight on February 28th (2.28), the display will

automatically change to March 1st (3.1), unless it is a Leap Year, in which case

the display will change to February 29th (2.29).

YEAR DISPLAY

To see the correct year, depress the Time and Date buttons together. The small

display changes from ‘month/date’ to ‘year’. When you release the Time and

Date buttons the small display returns to month and date.

DAYLIGHT SAVING AND LEAP YEAR ADJUSTMENTS

All Daylight Saving and Leap Year adjustments are made automatically

by the SmartSet®internal computer as follows:

•Start of Daylight Saving Time: At 1:59.59 AM on the first Sunday in

April, the clock will automatically advance to 3:00 AM.

•End of Daylight Saving Time: At 2:59.59 AM on the last Sunday in

October, the clock will automatically reset to 2:00 AM.

•Leap Year: At 12 Midnight on February 28th, the calendar display will

change to "2. 29"

MANUAL TIME ADJUSTMENTS

Some people like to set their clocks 5 to 10 minutes fast to make sure that they

will always be on time. Even though the SmartSet®sets the time by itself, you still

have the option of adjusting the time manually if you wish.

To manually adjust the time display depress and hold the Time button, and press

either the Up or Down buttons to adjust the time display ahead or back as desired.

Each press of the Up or Down buttons will change the display by one minute. If

you hold the Up or Down buttons the display will continue to change. The display

will change slowly at first, one minute at a time. But if you continue holding the Up

or Down buttons the display will change rapidly.

Note: If you manually adjust the time, your new setting is entered into the

SmartSet®memory. If the power is interrupted, the display will return to

your new setting, not the original setting, when the power is restored.

ADJUSTING THE WAKE UP TIMES

Your SmartSet®clock radio has two separate alarms that can be set and used

independently. You may use the alarms to wake two people at different times, or

you may use one alarm for weekdays and the other for weekend wake up times.

The procedure for adjusting the wake up time is the same for both Alarm 1 and

Alarm 2.

1. Depress and hold either the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 setting button. The main

display will change from the correct time to the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 wake up

time.

2. While holding the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 setting button, depress either the Up or

Down button to move the display ahead or back to your desired wake up time.

3. When the desired wake up time appears on the display, release all buttons.

Note: Be sure that you have set the wake up time correctly by observing the

AM indicator. If the AM indicator is ‘On’ the wake up time is “AM”. If the

AM indicator is ‘Off’, the wake up time is “PM”.

SELECTING THE ALARM MODE

Your SmartSet®clock radio allows you to select from among three different alarm

operation modes for either alarm. The alarm modes are:

1. Weekdays only - the alarm will only turn on Monday through Friday;

2. Weekends only - the alarm will only turn on Saturday and Sunday;

3. Everyday - the alarm will turn on all 7 days.

To check the Alarm Mode setting for Alarm 1, depress the Alarm 1 setting button.

The display will show the Alarm 1 wake up time and the day of the week indicators

will show you which alarm mode is selected.

•If all 7 indicators are ‘On’, the Everyday mode is selected.

•If only the Monday through Friday indicators are ‘On’, the Weekdays only mode

is selected.

•If only the Saturday and Sunday indicators are ‘On’, the Weekends only mode

is selected.

To change the Alarm Mode setting for Alarm 1, hold the Alarm 1 setting button

and press the Alarm Mode button until the day indicators show the desired mode

setting, Weekdays only, Weekends only, or Everyday operation. Release the

Alarm Mode and Alarm 1 setting buttons and the display will return to the correct

time.

CHECKING THE WAKE UP TIMES AND ALARM MODE

Whenever you want to check the wake up time or the alarm mode settings, simply

press either the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 setting buttons. The display will change from

correct time to wake up time and the day indicators will show you which alarm

mode is currently selected.

Release the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 setting buttons to return to correct time.

LISTENING TO THE RADIO

•Set the Band selector to the desired band, AM or FM.

•Set the Volume control to a low setting.

•Select your desired station with the Tuning control.

•Adjust the Volume control to the desired setting.

•When you are finished listening, press the Radio On/Off button to turn the radio

‘Off’.

The radio dial pointer light goes off.

ANTENNA INFORMATION

AM - The AM bar antenna is inside the cabinet. If AM reception is weak, change

the position of cabinet until the internal antenna picks up the strongest

signal.

FM - The FM antenna is built in to the AC power cord. If FM reception is weak

try varying the position and direction of the power cord until you find the

strongest signal.
