NOTES:
A.) The clock radio must be at room temperature for the WAVE SENSOR to function properly. If
the radio has been in a cold location the WAVE SENSOR may not operate immediately. Place
the radio in the room where it will be used, connect it to the AC outlet, and allow approximately
30 minutes to 60 minutes for the radio to come to room temperature before testing the WAVE
SENSOR function.
B.) If the dimmer switch is set to the “OFF/WAVE” position the display will be completely off.
However at the Alarm time the display will return to full brightness automatically. It will remain
at full brightness for one hour and then return to the ‘Off’ position. If you stop the alarm
immediately by pressing the respective Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 buttons, or set the Alarm 1 or Alarm
2 switches to their “OFF” positions, or use the SNOOZE control, the display will return to the
‘Off’ position after 10 seconds.
Changing The Lithium Battery
Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A number of
factors, such as, the length of time between the date the radio was manufactured and the date you
plugged it in for the first time determine the amount of time before replacement. During this initial
storage period, the lithium battery is supplying power to the automatic time setting
computer
memory. Once you plug the radio in, your household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is
not being used. A fresh lithium battery can supply power to the automatic time setting system
computer for at least 3 years even if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your radio was
connected to your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and you experience
only the normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions, your battery may last for up to 5
years or even longer. When the battery power drops below a certain level, the LOW BATT.
Indicator will ‘Flash’. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as it is
convenient for you to do so. To change the batteries proceed as follows:
1.) Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold. The battery type is
CR2430 or CR2450.
2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.
IMPORTANT: Leave the radio power cord connected to your AC outlet. This will provide power
to the automatic time setting
computer memory while the original lithium battery is removed.
3.) Turn the radio face up and use a small screwdriver to remove the screw securing the battery
holder to the cabinet.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THIS SMALL SCREW!
4.) Remove the original battery from the holder and insert the new battery into the holder the same
way, observing the positive (+) direction. Slide the holder with the new battery back into the slot in
the cabinet.
5.) Replace the screw that secures the battery holder in the cabinet.
6.) Turn the radio right side up and confirm that the LOW BATT. indicator is ‘Off’.
7.) Save these instructions. You’ll have to do this again five to eight years from now!
