Thank you……………..
For purchasing this iTone™ Digital Tuning Stereo Clock Radio with iPod® Docking
Station and SmartSet® Auto Time Setting System from Emerson Research. This
compact system has been designed with a powerful amplifier and matching high
fidelity speakers to produce the kind of sound that you would only expect from a
much larger, more expensive audio system. There is a built-in iPod® docking station
that allows you to play any dockable iPod® model* through the speakers of this
system. In addition while your iPod® is installed in the docking station the internal
iPod® battery will be recharged automatically. You can even choose to wake up to
your iPod® in the morning.
The digital tuner automatically scans the AM and FM bands and locks in stations
perfectly with no repetitive fine tuning required. And you can save 20 of your favorite
stations (10 AM and 10 FM) in the preset tuner memory for immediate recall at the
touch of a button.
Emerson’s patented SmartSet® Automatic Time Setting System automatically sets
the clock to the correct year, month, date, day, and time the first time you connect
the system to your AC outlet, and after every power interruption. It even adjusts for
Daylight Saving Time changes and Leap Years automatically. The unique dual
alarm system allows you program one or both of the alarms for weekdays only,
weekends only, or everyday operation. And you can wake to your iPod® , to the
radio, or an electronic buzzer that starts softly and gradually increases in volume
to wake you gently.
The clock also includes a programmable 99-minute sleep to music timer with auto
shutoff and a 99-minute Nap timer that will wake you up after a nap without having
to change your regular alarm settings. Of course we also included a Snooze alarm
so you can catch a few extra winks after the alarm turns on in the morning, but this
is not your normal Snooze control. You can activate the Snooze by pressing the
Snooze button on the top cabinet or the remote control, or you can just wave your
hand in front of the “TOUCHLESS” SNOOZE SENSOR on the front panel.
The compact 13-key remote control lets you operate all the major functions of
your system from across the room. And we have even included a stereo headphone
jack and an Auxiliary Input Jack on the back panel so that you can also connect
older, non-docking iPods® , MP3 players, and personal CD players.

unit from damage in transit.
• Remove any descriptive labels from the top or front panels of the main unit. Do
not remove any labels from the back or bottom panels.
• Place the main unit on a stable, level surface such as a table, desk, or shelf,
convenient to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of
water, moisture, heat, dust, dirt, vibration, or strong magnetic fields.
NOTE: The speakers in this system are not video shielded therefore it is
not recommended to place this unit on top of your TV set. The magnets in
the speakers could cause some color distortion in your TV picture.
• Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. This is important. The
FM antenna is built into the AC power cord and must be fully extended for 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.

Battery Back-up System
This unit includes a battery back up system powered by a built-in, long life CR2430
lithium battery. The battery maintains the time and alarm settings, the Sleep and
Nap timer settings, and the preset station tuner memories as well, whenever the
power is interrupted. If the power is lost the display will go off and the system will
not operate. However once the power is restored the clock will again reset itself
and all of your other settings will be correct.
The lithium battery that was installed in your system can supply back up memory
power for up to 5 years or even longer. The actual effective life of the lithium
battery will be affected by the length of time between the date the battery was
installed at our factory and the date that you connected your unit to your AC outlet,
and by the number and duration of the power outages that you experience in your
home. To maximize the life of the back up battery this system should be connected
to an AC outlet that is always “live”. Do not connect this system to an AC outlet
controlled by a wall switch.
When the lithium battery begins to weaken, the Low Battery indicator “
” will
begin to flash in the display. When you see this flashing indicator you should replace
the lithium battery as soon as possible. Instructions for replacing the lithium battery
will be found at the end of this Owner’s Manual.
Power Source
This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only.
Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the
system and such damage is not covered by your warranty.
NOTE: The system has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one
narrow blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.
This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility
of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your
AC outlet, you probably have an outdated non-
polarized outlet. You should have your outdated
outlet changed by a qualified, licensed
electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the
plug, or use an adapter to make the plug fit into
AC Outlet
your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and
could expose you to electric shock.

Installing The Remote Control Batteries
The remote control requires two “AAA” batteries, not included. We recommend
that you use a well known brand of alkaline batteries for longest life and best
performance.
Open the remote control battery
compartment by sliding the battery
compartment cover in the direction of
the ‘arrow’.
Install two “AAA” batteries in the compartment according to the polarity markings
inside the compartment as shown in the illustration. If the batteries are installed
incorrectly the remote control will not work. After installing the batteries replace the
battery compartment cover.
NOTE: When the operation of the remote control becomes intermittent or stops
working completely replace the batteries as soon as possible. Never leave
weak or exhausted batteries in the remote for an extended period of time.
They may eventually leak and cause permanent damage to the remote control.
Battery Precautions
• Replacement of batteries must be done by an adult.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)
batteries.
• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged.
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed.
• Only batteries of the equivalent type are to be used.
• Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
• Dispose of batteries properly. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries
may explode or leak.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Make sure that you have extended the AC power cord to its full length.
The FM antenna is built into the power cord.
• Make sure that you have installed two fresh “AAA” alkaline batteries in
the remote control handset.
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

Yukon Time
Hawaiian Time
To change the default time zone display, depress the Time Zone button.
The number “02” will appear on the display
indicating that the default zone is ZONE 2,
Eastern Time.

29/5/2006, 10:29
Hold the Time Zone button and then press either the Tuning/Skip (Clock/Time)
or
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 first Sunday in April, the clock will automatically
advance to “3:00 AM”.
• End of Daylight Saving Time:
At “3:00 AM” on the last Sunday in October, the clock will automatically
reset to “2:00 AM”.
• Leap Year:
At “12:00 Midnight” on February 28th, the calendar display will change
to "2. 29".
Important Daylight Saving Time Information
As a result of the new Energy Bill that was passed by Congress in August of 2005,
Daylight Saving Time is scheduled to be extended starting in 2007. This SmartSet®
Clock Radio has been programmed to adjust itself automatically for Daylight Saving
Time through 2006. We have also provided instructions to allow you to change
the Daylight Saving starting and ending dates for 2007 and beyond. You only need
to make this adjustment once and then this clock radio will automatically adjust
itself for the new Daylight Saving Time through the year 2099.
The instructions for adjusting the Daylight Saving starting and ending dates will be
found on a separate addendum sheet included with this Instruction Manual.

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 Tuning/Skip (Clock/Time)
or
buttons to adjust the time display
ahead or back as desired. Each press of the Tuning/Skip (Clock/Time)
or
buttons will change the display by one minute.
If you hold the Tuning/Skip (Clock/Time)
or
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 Tuning/Skip (Clock/Time) or buttons 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.

Menu of your iPod® , select the Settings Menu page, select the EQ Setting,
and make sure that the EQ function is set to “Off”.
(Main Menu > Settings Menu > EQ Setting > Select “Off”)
This system provides an iPod® docking station on the top panel. You can connect
any “dockable” iPod® , available as of January 2006, to the docking station and
play your iPod® through the speakers of this system. When your “dockable” iPod®
is in the docking area, the power to your device is being supplied by this system,
not by the iPod® ’s internal battery. In addition when your iPod® is switched ‘Off’
while resting in the dock the internal iPod® battery is automatically recharged.
NOTE: To prevent any possible interference between the iPod® and the Tuner
in this system, the iPod® battery circuit is automatically switched ‘Off’ while
you are listening to the radio. When the radio is ‘Off’ the battery charging
circuit switches ‘On’ again automatically, regardless of whether the Power
button of this system is ‘Off’ or ‘On’.
Follow these steps to connect and listen to your iPod® . We recommend that you
start with the power to this system switched ‘Off’:
1.) Open the docking area cover by gently pressing downward on the cover and
sliding it backward.

2.) Select the correct adapter for your particular iPod®
model from among the 5 different adapters included.
Each adapter is engraved with the name and/or size
of an iPod® model. Place the selected adapter in the
docking area so that the iPod® 30-pin connector
passes through the opening in the adapter.
Gently press downward on the adapter until it “clicks”
and locks in place.
3.) Mount the iPod® Support Bracket on the docking station as shown.
This bracket provides support and prevents your iPod® from moving too far
backward when you operate the iPod® controls.
CAUTION: You must use this support bracket with all iPod® models to
prevent possible damage to the iPod® connector.
IMPORTANT iPod® nano INSTRUCTIONS!
If you are using this system with an iPod® nano you will notice that the iPod®
30-pin connector on this unit is not properly aligned with the opening in the
iPod® nano adapter.
Before inserting the iPod® nano adapter into the docking
area you must slide the iPod® 30-pin connector to the
left position, and then place the nano adapter into the
docking area.
NOTE: After removing the nano adapter remember
to slide the 30-pin connector back to the right
position before attempting to install any other iPod®
adapter.

short time it may begin playback of the same song that was playing before it
was shut off.
NOTE: If the Power of this system is ‘On’ and the iPod function is already

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 “
” 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 face up and use a small screwdriver to remove the screw securing
the battery holder to the cabinet.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THIS SMALL SCREW!

29/5/2006, 10:29
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.
5.) Replace the screw that secures the battery holder in the cabinet.
6.) Turn the radio right side up and confirm that the “
‘Off’.
” indicator goes
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 “
” 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. 01), 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. 01”
(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 pages 40-41 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 display will change
from ‘Time’ to ‘Year’.
While holding the Month/date and Time buttons, press the Tuning/Skip
button to set the display to the correct year if necessary, then release the
buttons.
42
iC200_052906.p65
42
29/5/2006, 10:29
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 Tuning/Skip
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.
5.) Depress the Time button and the Tuning/Skip
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 unit.
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.
