Operation Manual

Power Source
This system is designed to operate on 230VAC 50Hz house current only. Connecting this
system to any other power source may cause damage to the system and such damage is not
covered by your warranty.
Note: The system has polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug
will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.
Battery Back Up System
This unit uses a single 9-Volt battery (not included) to maintain the time and alarm settings in
event that it is accidentally unplugged, or you experience a temporary power failure. We
recommend that you install a well-known brand of Alkaline battery for longest life and best
performance. To keep the battery back up system operational you should install a new battery
every 6 to 9 months. Some people find it convenient to replace the back up batteries in their
alarm clocks, clock radios, and smoke detectors too, at the beginning and end of Daylight
Saving Time.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting The Correct Time And Day
NOTE: Connect the power cord to your AC outlet. Make sure to use an outlet that is always ‘live’.
Do not use an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
1. When the unit is plugged in for the first time, the clock display will begin flashing “0:00”
(AM).
2. Press and hold the CLK-ADJ/PROG. button for at least two seconds until only the Hour digits
continue to flash.
3. While the Hour digits are flashing press the TIME-DN/F.REW or TIME-UP/F.FWD buttons
repeatedly to set the clock to the correct Hour.
4. When the correct hour is flashing, press the CLK-ADJ/PROG. button again. The Minute
digits begin flashing.
5. While the Minute digits are flashing press the TIME-DN/F.REW or TIME-UP/F.FWD buttons
repeatedly to set the clock to the correct Minutes.
6. Press the CLK-ADJ/PROG. button. The Day indicator “ d:1 ” begins to flash.
7. While the day indicator is flashing, press the TIME-DN/F.REW or TIME-UP/F.FWD buttons
repeatedly to set the display to the correct ‘Day’. (1 = Monday, 2 = Tuesday, etc.)
8. When the correct ‘day’ (digit) appears on the display press the CLK-ADJ/PROG. button once
more to exit the clock-setting mode. The display stops flashing and returns to the correct time
and the clock begin to run.
IMPORTANT: After you press the CLK-ADJ/PROG. button you must make your time
