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. This means that your power  
was interrupted some time during the night while you were sleeping and your clock  
doesn’t know what time it is anymore. Unfortunately it probably also means that  
you are late for work, or for school, again. 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 whenDaylight Saving  
Time begins and ends and it will adjust itself for those changes automaticallythrough  
the year 2099! 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 ‘flash’ to let you know. The CR2430 lithium battery is available  
almost anywhere that batteries are sold.  
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  
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 the Warranty page 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.  
PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE  
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from  
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating  
rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your  
furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives,  
or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a  
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly  
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware  
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the  
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

POWER SOURCE  
This radio is designed to operate on normal 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  
AC Outlet  
electrician.  
AC Plug  
SURE ALARM BATTERY BACK-UP SYSTEM  
This SmartSet® Clock Radio includes a Sure Alarm battery back-up circuit that can  
wake you up even if the power is ‘Off’ at the selected wake up time. If your power  
is ‘Off’ at the selected wake up time the clock display will be off and the radio will  
not operate, but a separate mini-buzzer will turn ‘On’ automatically to wake you up,  
even if you had selected the “Wake to Radio” option. The Sure Alarm will sound for  
30 seconds and then shut off automatically.  
To stop the Sure Alarm buzzer immediately, press the RADIO ON/OFF button.  
Pressing the SNOOZE button has no effect during Sure Alarm operation.  
NOTE: In order to maximize the life of the built in lithium battery, please be  
sure to set the ALM 1 and ALM 2 switches to the “OFF” position if the radio will  
be disconnected from the AC outlet for more than a few hours. This will prevent  
the Sure Alarm from turning ‘On’ unecessarily.

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 show the correct 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 1  
ZONE 2  
ZONE 3  
ZONE 4  
ZONE 5  
ZONE 6  
ZONE 7  
Atlantic Time  
Eastern Time (Default Setting)  
Central Time  
Mountain Time  
Pacific Time  
Yukon Time  
Hawaiian Time  
To change the default time zone display, depress the TIME ZONE button.  
The number “2” will appear on the 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  
To see the correct date at any time, depress the MONTH/DATE button.  
The display changes from time to Month and  
Date (mm/dd).  
For example, May 21st will appear as “5 21”.  
When you release the MONTH/DATE button the display returns to the correct  
time.  
YEAR DISPLAY  
To see the correct year, depress the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons together.  
The display changes from time to year.  
When you release the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons the display returns to the  
correct time.  
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 “2:00 AM” on the 2nd Sunday in March, the clock will automatically  
advance to “3:00 AM”.  
End of Daylight Saving Time:  
At “3:00 AM” on the 1st Sunday in November, the clock will automatically  
reset to “2:00 AM”.

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 ALM 1 or ALM 2 setting button. The display will  
change from the correct time to the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 wake up time.  
2.) While holding the ALM 1 or ALM 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 the UP or  
DOWN 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”.  
4.) When the desired wake up time (AM or PM) appears on the display, release  
the ALM 1 or ALM 2 setting buttons.

CHANGING THE LITHIUM BATTERY  
Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A  
number of factors, such as, the length of time between the date the radio was  
manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first time determine the amount  
of time before replacement. During this initial storage period, the lithium battery is  
supplying power to the SmartSet® computer memory. Once you plug the radio in,  
your household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is not being used. A  
fresh lithium battery can supply power to the SmartSet® computer for at least 3  
years even if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your radio was  
connected to your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and  
you experience only the normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions,  
your battery may last for up to 5 years or even longer.  
When the battery power drops below a certain level, the LOW BATT indicator will  
‘flash’. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as it is  
convenient for you to do so. To change the battery proceed as follows:  
1.) Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold. The  
battery type is CR2430 or equivalent.  
2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.  
IMPORTANT: Leave the radio power cord connected to your AC outlet. This  
will provide power to the SmartSet® computer memory while the original lithium  
battery is removed.  
3.) Turn the radio upside down and use a small screwdriver to remove the screws  
securing the battery holder to the cabinet.  
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THESE SMALL SCREWS!  
4.) Remove the original battery from  
the holder and insert the new  
battery into the holder the same  
way, observing the positive (+)  
direction. Slide the holder with the  
new battery back into the slot in the  
cabinet.  
CR2430

5.) Replace the screws that secure the  
battery holder in the cabinet.  
6.) Turn the radio right side up and confirm that the LOW BATT indicator is ‘Off’.  
7.) Save these instructions. You’ll have to do this again five to eight years from  
now!

RESETTING THE CLOCK AFTER A TOTAL MEMORY LOSS  
If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time  
after you see the ‘flashing’ LOW BATT. warning indicator, the lithium battery may  
become exhausted and will no longer be able to supply back up power to the  
SmartSet® internal computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after  
the battery is exhausted, or if a power interruption occurs, the SmartSet® memory  
will be lost and the clock will need to be reset when the power is restored. Be sure  
to install a fresh lithium battery before you reset the clock, otherwise the clock will  
need to be reset each time the power is interrupted.  
If the lithium battery is exhausted and you experience an interruption in the  
AC power supply, the clock will reset itself to its initial default setting when the  
power is restored.  
The initial default setting is “AM 12:00, Saturday, January 1st (1 1), 2005”.  
If you notice that the time on your SmartSet® clock radio is completely incorrect,  
and the day indicator is also wrong, press the MONTH/DATE button to see the  
Date. If the Date display is showing “1 1” (January 1st), you probably experienced  
a total memory loss.  
To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows:  
1.) Follow the instructions on page 16 and install a new CR2430 lithium battery in  
the battery compartment.  
2.) Connect the radio to your AC outlet and let the clock set itself.  
3.) Depress the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons together. The displaywill change  
from ‘time’ to ‘year’.  
While holding the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons, press the UP button to  
set the display to the correct year, then release the buttons.  
4.) Depress the MONTH/DATE button. The display will change from ‘time’ to  
‘month/date’ (mm/dd).  
While holding the MONTH/DATE button, press the UP button to set the display  
to the correct month and date. The Day indicator will change automatically as  
you adjust the month/date settings. When the correct month and date appear  
on the display, release the buttons.  
17  
CKS3029_080106.p65  
17  
1/8/2006, 9:25  
5.) Depress the TIME button and the UP button to set the display to the correct  
time. Be sure to confirm that you have set the time correctly to ‘AM’ or ‘PM’ by  
observing the AM indicator.  
6.) After you set the time, reconfirm that the Day, and Month/Date displays are still  
correct. Make final adjustments if necessary.  
The SmartSet® clock memory is now reset and the new lithium battery will maintain  
it for the next 5 to 8 years, depending on the number and duration of the power

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
If the cabinet becomes dusty, wipe it with a soft cloth. If the cabinet becomes  
smudged or dirty, clean it with a soft, slightly dampened cloth. Never allow  
water or any liquid to get inside the cabinet. Never use any abrasive cleaners  
or cleaning pads as these will damage the finish of your radio.  
LITHIUM BATTERY PRECAUTIONS  
• Dispose of the old battery properly. Do not leave it lying around where a young  
child or pet could play with, or swallow it. If the battery is swallowed, contact a  
physician immediately.  
• Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not attempt to recharge it or disassemble  
it. Do not dispose of the old battery in a fire.
