IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Some of the following information may
not apply to your particular product;
however, as with any electronic product,
precautions should be observed during
handling and use.
• Read these instructions.
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near
water.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation
openings. Install in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifi ers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the

the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
• Power is fed to the unit
even when it is not
functioning. To cut the
power supply off, the power
cable must be unplugged.
• Alkaline (NEDA 1604A/IEC
6LR61) battery is recommended.
Carbon-zinc battery may be
used but memory holding time
will be substantially reduced.
Memory holding time for a fresh
alkaline battery is approximately
8 hours (if radio or alarm are not
operated) which should take care
of short, nuisance-type AC power
failures. To preserve battery life,
the unit should remain plugged
into an AC outlet. As the battery
gets older, its voltage drops and
memory may be lost. Be sure to
replace the battery periodically.
Battery should be removed if the
unit will be stored for more than
one month. Leaky battery can
badly damage the clock radio.
