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 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 alarms can be programmed for everyday operation, weekdays only, 
or weekends only. There is a longlife lithium battery installed in this clock radio when you buy it. 
This battery can maintain the time and alarm settings for 2 years, or even longer. We have 
taken every precaution to make sure this radio was in perfect working order when it left our 
factory.

Setting the Time Zone                  
 
Initial Default Setting at Clock Mode 
IMPORTANT: The first time you connect your new SmartSet
®
 clock radio to the AC outlet the internal 
computer will automatically set the time correctly for the Eastern Time Zone, which is the initial default setting. 
The display will scan for a few seconds and then show the correct Day and Time in the Eastern zone. If you 
live in the Eastern Time zone, there's nothing else to do. Your 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 power interruption. 
There are 7 time zones programmed into your SmartSet
®
 clock radio as follows: 
ZONE 01 — Atlantic Time    ZONE 02 — Eastern Time (Default Setting) 
ZONE 03 — Central Time    ZONE 04 — Mountain Time 
ZONE 05 — Pacific Time    ZONE 06 — Yukon Time 
ZONE 07 — Hawaiian Time 
1.  Press and hold TIME ZONE    2.  Press UP or DOWN 
 
Note: Time Zone and Clock Setting can only be adjusted in Standby Mode, where the function of Radio, 
Bluetooth and AUX are disabled (Indicator of MHz, BT and AUX are Off).

Setting the Clock Manually         
 
Date Display and Adjustments 
To see the  current date  at any time,  press the DATE button. The 
display changes from time to Month and Date (MM.DD). 
For example, Apr 16th will appear as ‘4.16’. When you release the 
DATE button the display returns to the current time. 
To adjust the Date manually, keep holding the DATE button and press the UP or DOWN button. 
Year Display and Adjustments 
To see the current year, depress the YEAR button, the display 
changes from time to year. When you release the YEAR button, the 
display returns to the current time. 
To adjust the Year manually, keep holding the YEAR button and 
press the UP or DOWN button. 
Manual Time Adjustments 
Some people like to set their clock 5 to 10 minutes faster to make 
sure that they will always be on time. Even though the SmartSet
®
 
sets the time by itself, you still have the option of adjusting the time 
manually if you wish. 
To manually adjust the time display press and hold the TIME button, 
and press either the UP or DOWN button to advance or reverse the time as desired.   
Each press of the UP or DOWN button will change the display by one minute. If you hold the UP or DOWN 
button the display will continue to change. The display will change slowly at first, one minute at a time. But if 
you continue holding the UP or DOWN button, the display will change rapidly. 
Note: If you manually adjust the time, your new setting is entered into the SmartSet
®
 memory. If the power is 
interrupted, the display will return to your new setting, not the original setting, when the power is restored. 
Daylight Saving and Leap Year Adjustments 
All Daylight Saving and Leap Year adjustments are made automatically by 
the SmartSet
® 
internal computer as follows: 
Start of Daylight Saving Time: 
At 2:00 AM on the 2nd Sunday in March, the clock will automatically advance to 3:00 AM. 
End of Daylight Saving Time: 
At 3:00 AM on the 1st Sunday in November, the clock will automatically reset to 2:00 AM. 
Note: If you do not want the clock to adjust itself according to Daylight Saving time automatically, you can 
disable it by pressing and holding the TIME and WEEK buttons for 1 second, then the display will show ‘dSt’ – 
‘OFF’, which means the auto Daylight Saving time is disabled; by doing so again, the display will show ‘dSt’ – 
‘ON’, which means the auto Daylight Saving time is enabled. 
Leap Year: 
At 12:00 Midnight on February 28th, the calendar display will change to ‘2.29’.

Setting the Alarm               
 
Note: Alarm settings can only be checked and adjusted in Standby Mode, where the function of Radio, 
Bluetooth and AUX are disabled (Indicator of MHz, BT and AUX are Off). 
Your SmartSet
®
 clock radio has two separate alarms that can be set and used independently. You may use 
the alarms to wake two people at different times, or you may use one alarm for weekdays and the other for 
weekend wake up time. 
Adjust the Wake Up Time 
The procedure for adjusting the wake up time is the same for both Alarm 1 and Alarm 2. 
⚫ Press and hold either the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 
button. The display will change from the current 
time to the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 wake up time. 
⚫ While holding the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 button, 
press either the UP or DOWN button to advance 
or reverse your desired wake up time. 
⚫ When the desired wake up time appears on the 
display, release the UP or DOWN button to store 
the setting. 
Note: Be sure that you have set the wake up time 
correctly by observing the AM indicator. If the AM 
indicator is 'On' the wake up time is 'AM’. If the AM 
indicator is 'Off'. the wake up time is ‘PM’. 
⚫ When the desired wake up time (AM or PM) 
appears on the display, release the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 button.
