performance - this indicates a need for service.
22. HEAT
An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing
an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power lines
or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
15. OVERLOADING
The product should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,

Dear Customer:
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or
distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
•
•
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
•
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and
the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

INSTALLATION
Unravel the AC cord and connect it to a
conveniently located AC outlet having 120V
and 60Hz only. The Clock Display will
illuminate and “12:00” will blink in the window.
NOTE: If the AC plug does not fit into a
nonpolarized outlet, do not file or cut the wide
blade. If the AC plug does not fit into a
nonpolarized AC outlet, do not file or cut the
wide blade. It is the user’s responsibility to
have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
If the AC cord is disconnected or if there is a power failure, this electronic clock is
designed to continue operating internally (without showing the time on the Clock
Display) with a 9 volt battery (not included). To install the battery, connect the
battery to the terminals of the battery snap inside the compartment (use of an
alkaline battery is recommended).
Be sure to check the condition of the battery
periodically by disconnecting the AC cord and
connecting it again two or three minutes later. The
preset times should continue operating. If the present
time does not appear, it indicates the battery is dead
or not connected properly. The 9 volt battery will keep
the internal times accurately for approximately 30
minutes. If the power is restored after 30 minutes, the
times may need to be reset.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:
1. Use only the size and type of battery specified.
2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in the
battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the device.
3. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to prevent
damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
4. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they can overheat and
rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.)
