Thankyou............................

For purchasing this Emerson AM/FM Clock Radio with Sure-Alarm™Battery Back

Up System. It has been designed and engineered to provide you with many years

of reliable operation with a minimum of care. Listen to your favorite AM/FM radio

stations; wake up to the radio or an electronic buzzer alarm; sleep to music with the

auto shutoff timer; and use the Snooze Alarm when you need a few more minutes

sleep before you can get up and face a new day.

The Sure-Alarm™Battery Back Up System not only maintains the time and alarm

settings in case of a power failure, but it will also wake you up even if the power is

'off' at the selected alarm time, as long as the back up battery has sufficient power.

Please read this instruction manual completely to make sure that you understand

all the features of your new clock radio, and please save this manual for future

battery door, as shown in the illustration, and connect a 9V battery (not included)

to the battery terminals. The battery can only be connected one way. Push the

battery back into the battery compartment and replace the battery door.

Note: Use only a well known brand of Alkaline battery for longest life and best

performance.

In the event of a temporary power interruption the clock display will go off, but the

back up battery will maintain the time and alarm settings. When power is restored

the clock display will come on again and the time and alarm settings will be correct.

POWER FAILURE INDICATION

If you do not install a battery, or if the battery is exhausted and the power is

interrupted, the time and alarm settings will be lost. When power is restored the

display will begin flashing. This flashing display is your indication that the clock is

incorrect and you must reset both the time and alarm settings.
