Antennas
AM Antenna – A built-in ferrite
rod antenna eliminates the need
for an outside antenna for AM
reception. Rotating the unit
slightly may improve reception of
distant AM stations.
FM Antenna – The power cord
acts as your FM antenna. The
power cord picks up moderate
to strong stations and eliminates
the need for an external antenna
in most strong signal areas. Be
sure the power cord is stretched
out to its full length. Do not
coil or bunch the cord together.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
INFORMATION
• Main plug is used as
disconnect device and it
should remain readily operable
during intended use. In order
]
to disconnect the apparatus
from the mains completely,
the mains plug should be
disconnected form the mains
socket outlet completely.
• Apparatus shall not be exposed
to dripping or splashing and
no objects fi lled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed
on the apparatus.
• Always leave suffi cient space
around the product for
ventilation. Do not place
product in or on a bed, rug,
in a bookcase or cabinet that
may prevent air fl ow through
vent openings.
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.
Changing position of the power
cord may improve reception.
Built-In AFC – The Built In
Automatic Frequency Control
(AFC) works only on FM. It helps
reducing drift on FM reception
and keeping the radio locked in
on the FM station to which it is
tuned.
When tuning in FM stations, you
may notice that the station you
are tuning can be well-tuned on
two or three nearby points on the
dial. Always tune carefully at the
loudest and clearest point.
If you set Sleep function
with low volume level
before going to bed, we
advise using Wake to alarm
mode.
