PREPARTION 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
sa
fe 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
an
y 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, humidit
y, 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 pro
vide the best FM reception.
Protec
t Your Furniture
This
model is equipment with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from moving when you
opera
te the controls. These ‘feet’ are made non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to
avoid
leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture
poli
shes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, 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 store and
home
improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’
be
fore you place the product on fine wooden furniture.
Power
Source
This
radio 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 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.
Sure Alarm battery Back-Up System
This
SmartSet
®
Clock Radio includes a Sure Alarm battery back-up circuit that can wake you up
even
if the power is ‘off’ at the selected wake up time. If your power is ‘off’ at the selected wake up
time the clock display will be off and the radio will not operate, but a separate mini-buzzer will turn
‘on’ automatically to wake you up, even if you had selected the “ Wake to Radio” option.
The Sure Alarm will sound for 30 seconds and then shut off automatically.
To
stop the Sure Alarm buzzer immediately, press the RADIO ON/OFF button.
Pressing
the SNOOZE button has no effect during Sure Alarm operation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting The Time, The First Time
IMPORTANT: The first time you connect your new SmartSet

clock
is set correctly and running.
If
you do not live in the Eastern Time zone you must change the default zone display to your own
zone
.You only do this one time and the SmartSet
®
will remember the new default zone setting and
will
always return to that setting after a power interruption.
There are 7 time zones programmed into your SmartSe

ZONE 1 -- Atlantic Time
ZONE

Thank you for purchasing this Emerson SmartSet
®
Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Time Projection
System
.
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 Year, 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.
This model also includes an integrated clock time projector that will project the time in large
numerals
on the wall or ceiling of a dark room. This allows you to see the time without actually
looking
at the clock itself.
There
is a long life lithium battery installed in this clock radio when you buy it. This battery can
maintain the time and alarm setting 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
ou
r factory. If you encounter any problems with the set up or operation of this item, please call the
Em
erson Consumer Products Corp., Customer Service Hotline, toll free, at 1-800-898-9020.

the
power is interrupted, the display will return to your new setting, not the original setting, when
the power is restored.
