Radio Shack Jumbo EL Owner's Manual

Jumbo EL Travel Alarm Clock
Your RadioShack Jumbo EL (Electro-Luminescent) Travel Alarm
Clock combines a simple design with advanced technology in this
easy-to-use alarm clock. Its light weight lets you carry it almost any-
where — pack it in your suitcase or with your camping gear!
The alarm clock's other features include:
Backlight — lets you light the display for about 5 seconds so you
can see the time in the dark.
Crescendo Alarm — gradually increases in volume to gently wake
you.
Clock Cover — prevents you from accidentally changing the time-
setting controls while you carry the clock.
Snooze Control — temporarily silences the alarm for about 8 min-
utes so you can sleep a little longer.
Built-In Stand — lets you place the clock on a flat surface for easy
viewing.
Lock Control — keeps the time and alarm settings from accidental-
ly being changed.
Night Finder — helps you locate the clock in the dark as the display
flashes every few seconds.
REMOVING THE BATTERY
INSULATION SLIP
Before you can use the alarm clock, you must remove the protective
insulation slip from the battery compartment. To remove the slip,
grasp its end and gently pull it out.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your clock requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) to power the
backlight and the alarm. For the best performance and longest life,
we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries
of different capacities.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the
arrow to remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When the alarm sound becomes weak or distorted or the backlight
lights dimly or not at all, replace the AAA batteries. When the battery
low indicator appears, replace the button-cell battery. See "Replac-
ing the Button-Cell Battery" on Page 2.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not
burn or bury them.
OWNER'S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the alarm clock for a month or
longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic parts.
USING THE STAND
To use the control panel cover as a stand, flip the cover under the
clock and set in on a level surface (such as a table).
