Thank you .......................  
for purchasing this Emerson Research SmartSet® Dual Alarm, Caller ID  
Telephone Clock Radio.  
This compact multi-function unit is designed to replace two separate devices  
that you probably have on your night table now, but with special features  
available only from Emerson Research. The patented SmartSet® Automatic  
Time Setting System will set the clock to the correct year, month, day,  
date, and time as soon as you plug it in, and after every power interruption.  
It also automatically adjusts from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time  
through the year 2099! Leap Years too! The dual alarms can be set  
separately to wake you to radio or buzzer, on weekdays only, weekends  
only, or all seven days. The long life lithium battery is already installed and  
it will maintain your settings from 5 to 8 years before it needs replacing.  
And of course the large, super-bright ‘RED’ clock display is visible from  
anywhere in your room.  
The telephone handset has 13 memories for frequently dialed numbers,  
including 3 one-touch, speed-dial buttons that you can use for emergency  
numbers. The Caller ID system has a lighted display and an 80 number  
Caller ID memory. You can automatically dial any number in the Caller ID  
memory at the touch of a button. And of course we’ve included the Call  
Waiting feature that will signal to let you know that another caller is trying  
to reach you.  
We have taken great care to insure that every component in your set was  
in perfect working order when it left our factory. If, after reading this Owners  
Manual, you have any problems with the set up or operation of this product,  
please call the Emerson Consumer Products Customer Service Hotline  
toll-free at 800-898-9020. The hours of operation are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM  
Central Time.  
Once again, from everyone at Emerson Radio Corporation, thanks for  
purchasing this SmartSet® Telephone Clock Radio.  
Note: Call Waiting and Caller ID are special subscription services  
provided by your local telephone service provider. If you do not  
have these services and you wish to subscribe, contact your local

Installing The Telephone Memory Back-up Battery  
This unit requires a 9-Volt battery, not included, to maintain the telephone caller ID  
and speed-dial number memories in the event of a temporary power interruption.  
Be sure to use a well-known brand of alkaline battery for longest life and best  
performance. If you do not install the back up battery, any numbers that you have  
entered into the speed dialing memories, and numbers that have been automatically  
recorded in the caller ID memories, may be erased if the AC power supply is  
interrupted.  
Install the telephone memory back-up battery as follows:  
1.) Turn the telephone base unit upside-down. To prevent scratches to the base  
unit, place it on a soft surface such as a towel or blanket as you perform this  
procedure.  
2.) Press down on the engraved “arrow” on the  
battery compartment door and slide the door  
in the direction of the arrow to remove it.  
3.) Attach the 9-volt battery to the terminals  
of the battery harness as shown.  
It can only be attached one way.  
4.) Push the battery back into the battery compartment and replace the battery  
door. Turn the base unit right side up again.

POWER SOURCE  
The model is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only. Attempting  
to operate this model by any other power source could cause damage to the unit,  
and such damage is not covered by your warranty.  
Make sure that you connect the power cord to an AC outlet that is always ‘live’. Do  
not connect to an AC outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. This SmartSet®  
clock radio uses a long life lithium battery to maintain the time and alarm setting  
during temporary power interruptions. When the clock radio is connected to a ‘live’  
AC outlet the back-up battery goes into a ‘standby’ mode to preserve power.  
Therefore keep the unit connected to a ‘live’ outlet at all times to extend the life of  
the lithium battery.  
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  
AC Outlet  
probably have an out-dated non-  
polarized AC outlet. You should have  
your outlet changed by a qualified  
licensed electrician.  
AC Plug  
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.

TELEPHONE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Note: This model is designed for normal residential phone service only.  
It cannot be used with PABX systems.  
Call Waiting and Caller ID Service Information  
This SmartSet® telephone clock radio is compatible with Caller ID and Call Waiting  
service provided by your local telephone company. Both the Caller ID and Call  
Waiting features are not normally part of the basic telephone service package. If  
you have already subscribed to these extra services, there is nothing further to do.  
Your SmartSet® telephone clock radio is ready to use.  
If you do not currently subscribe to Call Waiting and Caller ID services, you may  
still use this SmartSet® telephone clock radio as you would any normal telephone,  
however the Caller ID information will not appear in the display. If you want to take  
advantage of the Call Waiting and Caller ID features of this SmartSet® telephone  
clock radio you must contact your local telephone service provider and subscribe  
to these services. In most cases there will be an additional monthly charge for  
these services.  
With the Call Waiting feature you will hear an audible signal on the telephone to  
alert you that you have another call waiting. The signal may be a “click” sound or  
possibly a soft “beep”. Your local phone company selects the signal sound. When  
you hear that signal you may press the FLASH button on the handset to speak to  
the second caller briefly, then press the FLASH button again to return to the first  
caller. With the Caller ID feature you will be able to see the name and telephone  
number of the calling party on the Caller ID display. You can then decide if you  
wish to answer the call or not. You can also automatically call back any of the  
numbers stored in the Caller ID memory, up to 80 numbers maximum. Both these  
features will be explained in more detail later in this manual.

Other Adjustments  
There are 3 other settings that you may need to adjust before using your phone:  
Telephone Ringer Level  
The RINGER level switch (HI/LOW/OFF) is located on the back cabinet of the  
base unit. We have set the level to “HI” at our factory. If you feel that the ring sound  
is too loud, set the switch to the “LOW” position. If the switch is set to the “OFF”  
position the telephone will not ring at all.  
Handset Volume Level  
The 3-position Handset VOL (Volume) Control is located on the side of the handset.  
We have set this switch to the highest setting at our factory. If you find that the  
handset volume is too loud, set this switch the medium or low position.  
TONE/PULSE Dialing Selector  
This switch was set to the TONE dialing position at our factory. If you do not have  
Touch Tone dialing on your telephone line, set this switch to the PULSE dialing  
position. If you need to switch to tone dialing temporarily, to respond to automated  
telephone message prompts for example, you can simply press the ‘ TONE’  
button on the telephone keypad and then press the desired number buttons. After  
you hang up, the handset automatically returns to the Pulse dialing mode.

Caller ID Display Viewing Angle  
All Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) have certain viewing angle limitations. They are  
intended for viewing within a certain range and the display is clearest within that  
range. If you view the display from outside of its normal viewing angle the information  
on the display may seem to “fade”, or it may appear that the entire display is ‘On’.  
This is a normal characteristic of LCD displays and not an indication of any problems  
with your set. To compensate for this we have provided two foldable “legs” on the  
bottom of the base unit.  
If necessary you can unfold these two legs. This will raise the back of the base unit  
cabinet slightly and may provide an improvement in the viewing angle. However  
keep in mind that the Caller ID display in this model is designed for the clearest  
viewing when you are looking downward at the display. If you are lying in bed  
looking upward at the display you will be outside the normal viewing angle range  
and the information on the display may not be visible.

Storing Numbers In The Handset Memory  
You can store up to 13 of your most frequently called numbers in the handset  
speed-dialing memory. The keypad buttons M1, M2, and M3 are one-touch  
memories. Simply pressing any one of those buttons will immediately dial the stored  
number. The keypad buttons “0” through “9” are two-touch memories. To dial a  
stored number you must first press the MEMORY button, and then press the desired  
number button to dial the stored number.  
To store numbers:  
1.) Lift the handset from the cradle.  
Note: After a few seconds, you will hear the “Off the hook/hang up”  
warning signal from the telephone company. You may continue through  
the steps as below. However, if you are going to store many numbers,  
suggest to press “Hook” button on the cradle periodically.  
2.) Press the STORE button on the keypad.  
3.) Dial the area code and number you wish to store. Don’t forget to dial a “1”  
before the area code if necessary.  
Note: The maximum number of digits that can be entered in any memory  
location is 16.  
4.) Press the STORE button again, and then press the desired memory location  
button, either M1, M2, M3, or Number keys “0” through “9”.  
5.) Repeat this procedure until you have stored up to 13 frequently dialed numbers.  
To change a number stored in any memory just perform Steps 1 through 3 above  
and store the new number in the desired memory location. The old number will be  
deleted when the new number is stored.

Caller ID Operation  
Notes:  
You must subscribe to Caller ID service from your local telephone service  
provider to use this feature.  
• You must allow the phone to ring at least once or twice in order for the Caller ID  
information to appear on the display.  
1.) When a call is received the Caller ID display will light and show the date, the  
time of the call, the telephone number and the name of the calling party.  
NEW CALL

You decide if you wish to answer the call or not.  
NOTES:  
A) If the Calling party hangs up before you are able to pick up the  
phone and the caller ID information disappears from the display,  
press the DOWN button once to restore the information to the  
display.  
B) If the call is coming from an area that does not support Caller ID service,  
the display may show a message such as “OUT OF AREA”.  
C) If the calling party has requested that their name and number not appear,  
you may see a message such as “PRIVATE CALLERor  
UNAVAILABLE”.  
Again, it’s up to you whether you answer the call or not.  
2.) The first call that you receive will be assigned call #1 and the information is  
stored in caller ID memory #1. As additional calls are received the information  
is stored in memories #2, #3, and so on.  
Up to a total of 80 names and numbers can be stored. If you receive more than  
80 calls without deleting any previously received information, the oldest call  
(#1) will automatically be deleted when the newest call is received. Call #1 is  
deleted, call #2 moves to memory #1 and so on.  
22

“NEW CALL #” will appear in the display.  
If you have received repeat calls from the same number, the display will show  
“RPT CALL #” or “RPT NEW CALL #”.  
5.) If the incoming call is from an automatic Call Forwarding service the display  
will show “FWD NEW CALL #” or “FWD RPT NEW CALL #”.  
6.) If the incoming call is from an area code that will incur long distance charges  
when you return the call, the TOLL indicator will appear in the display.  
7.) If you have subscribed to Voice Mail messaging service from your local phone  
company, and a caller leaves a voice mail message for you, the voice mail  
indicator ( ) appears in the display together with that caller’s number and  
name. The voice mail indicator will disappear after you review the voice mail

CLOCK RADIO 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 SET + or SET – 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.

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 SET + or SET – buttons to adjust the time display ahead or back as  
desired. Each press of the SET + or SET – buttons will change the display by one  
minute. If you hold the SET + or SET – 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 SET + or SET – 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 SET + or  
SET – 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 SET + or  
SET – 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 BATTERY LOW 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 screw  
securing the battery holder to the cabinet.  
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THIS SMALL SCREW!  
33

6/9/2006, 10:56  
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.  
Battery holder slot  
Turn the holder up side down  
5.) Replace the screw that secures the battery holder in the cabinet.  
6.) Turn the radio right side up and confirm that the BATTERY LOW 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’ BATTERY LOW 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 “12:00 AM, 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 34 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 SET + 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 SET + 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.  
35  
CKT9087_090606.p65  
35  
6/9/2006, 10:56  
5.) Depress the TIME button and the SET + 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  
outages you experience.  
IMPORTANT NOTE:  
After resetting the clock, don’t forget to reset your wake up times, and alarm mode  
settings, and sleep timer settings as well.

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.
