Thank you for purchasing this Emerson SmartSet Dual Alarm Clock Radio. This clock radio uses Emerson's patented SmartSet Automatic Time Setting System. The first time you connect this clock radio to your AC outlet, and after every power interruption, within seconds the clock will automatically set itself to the correct Ye a r , Month, Date, Day, and Time. In addition all changes from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time, and back to Standard Time, are made automatically. There are dual alarms that can be set and used independently, and both of the alarms can be programmed for everyday operation, weekdays only, or weekends only. There is a long life lithium battery installed in this clock radio when you buy it. This battery can maintain the time and alarm settings for 3 to 5 years, or even longer. We have taken every precaution to make sure this radio was in perfect working order when it left our factory. If you encounter any problems with the set up or operation of this item, please call the Emerson Consumer Products Corp., Customer Service Hotline, toll free, at 1 -800-898-9020. 2 IMPORTANT NOTES O p e r a t e c o n t r o l s a n d s w i t c h e s a s described in the manual. Before turning on the power, make c e r t a i n t h a t t h e A C a d a p t e r i s properly installed. When moving the set, be sure to first disconnect the AC adapter. Avoid installing this unit in places exposed to direct sunlight or close to h e a t r a d i a t i n g a p p l i a n c e s s u c h a s electric heaters, on top of other stereo equipment that radiates too much heat, places lacking ventilation or dusty a r e a s , p l a c e s s u b j e c t t o c o n s t a n t vibration and/or humid or moist areas. FCC Information This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to p r o v i d e reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful i n t e r f e r e n c e t o r a d i o communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference;

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. 3 Preparation for Use Unpacking And Set Up Remove the radio from the carton and remove all packing material from the radio. We suggest that you save the packing material, if possible, in the unlikely event that your radio ever needs to be returned for service. The original carton and packing material is the only safe way to pack your radio to protect it from damage in transit. Remove any descriptive labels or stickers on the front or top of the cabinet. Do not remove any labels or stickers from the back or bottom of the cabinet. Note the serial number on the bottom of your radio and write this number in the space provided on the Warranty page of this manual. Place your radio on a level surface such as a table, desk or shelf, convenient to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dirt, dust, moisture, humidity, or vibration. Unwind the Line cord connecting the AC adapter and extend it to its full length. The FM antenna is built in to this cord. It must be fully extended to provide the 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 dissolve 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. Power Source This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage to the radio that will void your warranty. This radio should be connected to an AC outlet that is always 'live'. Do not connect it to an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. When the power to the radio is interrupted, the built in lithium battery takes over to maintain the time and alarm settings. To maximize the life of the lithium battery keep the radio connected to a 'live' AC outlet at all times.
