FCC Information
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, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. In accordance with FCC requirements, changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Thomson Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this product.
This device generates and uses radio frequency (RF) energy, and if not installed and used properly, this
equipment may cause interference to radio and television reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception (which you can determine by
unplugging the unit), try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the antenna for the radio or television that is “receiving” the
interference).
• Move the unit away from the equipment that is receiving interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so that the unit and the equipment receiving interference are
on different branch circuits. If these measures do not eliminate the interference, please consult your
dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. Also, the Federal
Communications Commission has prepared a helpful booklet, “How To Identify and Resolve Radio TV
Interference Problems.” This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington,
DC 20402. Please specify stock number 004-000-00345-4 when ordering copies.

The AC power plug is polarized (one blade is wider than the other) and only fits into AC
power outlets one way. If the plug will not go into the outlet completely, turn the plug
over and try to insert it the other way. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not attempt to bypass this safety feature.

• The rating plate is located at the bottom cabinet of apparatus.
BATTERY BACK-UP OPERATION
This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system that can be powered with a 9-volt battery (not
included). The power failure protection circuit will not operate unless battery is installed. When normal
household power is interrupted, or the AC line cord is unplugged, the battery will power the clock radio to
keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into memory. When the battery backup functions, the
digital display will not light, however, the function of alarm still occurs during the power interruption if the
remaining battery power is adequate. Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored so you will
not have to reset the time or the alarm.
Install battery as follow:
1. Remove battery compartment door (located at the bottom of the radio) by applying thumb pressure to
area indicated on battery door and then lift the door out and off the cabinet.
2. Connect a 9-volt battery to the connector plug.
3. Insert battery in the compartment and replace the compartment door.
Power Failure Indicator
When AC power is interrupted (disconnected) for a short period of time, both time and alarm settings will
change (unless optional battery is installed). After AC power is restored (reconnected), the Digital Display
will blink to indicate that power was interrupted and you should readjust the time and alarm settings.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Safety Precautions
• Never open the cabinet under any circumstances. Any repairs or internal adjustments should be made
only by a trained technician.
• Never operate this product with the cabinet removed.
• Do not use your System immediately after transporting it from a cold place to a warm place, as
condensation may cause the system to malfunction.
• Keep your unit away from humid areas and abnormally hot places.
• Do not touch the player with wet hands. If any liquid enters the player cabinet, take the player to a
trained technician for inspection.
• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
• No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles should be placed on the apparatus.
• Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal; the use of apparatus in

NOTE:
Alkaline (NEDA 1604A / IEC 6LR61) battery is recommended. Carbon Zinc
(NEDA 1604 / IEC 6F22) battery may be used but memory holding time will be
substantially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is
approximately 8 hours (if radio or alarm is not operated), which should take care of short,
nuisance-type AC power failues. To preserve battery life, the radio should remain plugged into
an AC outlet. As batteries get older, their voltage drops and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace
the battery periodically. Battery should be removed if the radio will be stored for more than one
month. Leaky batteries may badly damage the clock radio.
