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 Page 1 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 AC power cord 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.
POWER SOURCE
This radio is designed to operate on normal 110V-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 is not covered by 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
You will note that this system is
equipped with a polarized AC power
plug having one blade wider than the
other. This is a safety feature. If this
plug does not fit into your existing AC
outlet, do not try to defeat this safety
feature by filing the wide blade to make
it fit into your outlet. If this plug will
not fit into your outlet, you probably have an out-dated non-polarized AC outlet.
You should have your outlet changed by a qualified licensed electrician.
