OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SOURCE
This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC house current only.
Operating the radio with any other power supply may cause damage to the unit
which is not covered by your warranty.
Fully extend the AC power cord and insert the plug into a polarized AC outlet.
Note that this unit has a polarized AC plug with
one wide blade and one narrow blade. This is a
safety feature designed to protect you from
electric shock. If this plug will not fit into your outlet
you may have an outdated, non-polarized outlet.
Do not try to defeat this safety feature by using
an adapter, or filing the wider blade on the plug
to make it fit into your outlet. Contact a licensed
electrician to replace your outdated outlet.
Note: Be sure to connect this radio to an outlet that is always 'live'. Do not connect
this unit to an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
SETTING THE CLOCK
When the unit is plugged in for the first time the clock will show (AM) " 12:00" and
the display will flash. The flashing will stop after the clock has been set.
1. Depress the TIME button and the HOUR button together to adjust the clock
to the correct hour, then release the buttons.
Note: Be sure to set the hour correctly for AM or PM. If the AM Indicator is
'On', the time displayed is AM. If the AM indicator is 'Off', the time
displayed is PM.
2. Depress the TIME button and the MINUTE button together to adjust the clock
to the correct minute, then release the buttons.
