MODULAR JACK REQUIREMENTS  
You need an RJ11(CA11A) type modular jack, which is  
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.

VOLUME  
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.
