SETTING THE ALARM (USE AS WAKE-

The PL-450 has a programmable alarm,
enabling the PL-450 to turn on and play
the radio for an alterable period of time
and then turn off. The playtime can be
selected from 1 ~ 90 minutes. The alarm
can be used as a wake-up alarm. After
setting the alarm time and a playtime,
store a radio station into alarm memory
and activate the alarm. See the next
sections titled STORING A RADIO
STATION INTO ALARM MEMORY and
ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING THE
ALARM.
NOTE: A radio station must be stored into
alarm memory. If this is not done, there
will only be static once the timer is
activated.
