the most common type of phone jack and might look
like the one pictured here. If you don’t have a modular
jack, call your local phone company to find out how to
get one installed.

POWERING UP
“NO WORRY” BATTERY BACKUP
This clock radio is equipped with a
memory holding system that can be
powered with a customer-installed
9-volt alkaline battery (not in-
cluded).
When power is interrupted, or AC
line cord is unplugged, the battery
will power the clock radio to keep
track of time and alarm settings
programmed into memory. When
on battery power, the digital display
will not light; however, should
WAKE time occur during the power
interruption, the radio will operate
or the alarm will sound if remaining
battery power is adequate. Normal
operation will resume after AC
power is restored.
NOTE: Alkaline (NEDA 1604A)
batteries are recommended. Carbon-
zinc (NEDA 1604) batteries may be
used but memory holding time will be
substantially reduced. Memory holding
time for a fresh alkaline battery is
approximately 8 hours (if Wake System
is not activated), which should take care
of short, nuisance-type AC power
failures. To preserve battery life, the
radio should remain plugged into an
AC outlet. As the battery gets older, its
voltage will drop and memory may be
lost. Be sure to replace the battery
periodically. Battery is not included
with this clock radio.
Install battery as follows:
1. Open the battery compartment
door (located on the back of the
radio) by applying thumb pres-
sure to area indicated on battery
door and pushing out.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery.
3. Insert battery in compartment
and replace compartment door.

BUILT-IN AFC
The Built-In Automatic Frequency
Control (AFC) works only on FM. It
helps keep the radio locked in on
the FM station to which it is tuned.
When tuning in FM stations, you
may notice that often the station
you desire can be heard on two or
three nearby points on the dial.
Always tune carefully to the loudest
and clearest point.
ANTENNAS
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.
11
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
FM Antenna - The power cord acts
as your FM antenna. The power
cord picks up 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. Do not coil or bunch the
cord together. Changing position of
the power cord may improve
reception.
