FEATURES 





Your RadioShack AM/FM PLL (Phase 
Locked Loop) Clock/Table Radio offers 
you all the features of an alarm clock and 
an AM/FM radio in one convenient pack- 
age. You can wake to a buzzer or your fa- 
vorite AM or FM radio station. You can 
also fall asleep with the radio playing, and 
the radio automatically shuts off at a pre- 
set time.

PLL Digital Tuning — digital phase 
locked loop synthesizer provides drift-free 
frequency tuning with the highest degree 
of accuracy and stability. 


20 Station Memory — lets you store ten 
AM stations and ten FM stations into mem- 
ory for easy recall. 


Liquid Crystal Display with Brightness 
Control — makes the clock easy to read, 
even in low light situations. 


2'4" Speaker — for quality broadcast 
sound. 


Battery Backup with Battery Sentinel? 
— maintains clock and alarm operation 
during a power failure and lets you know 
when to install a new battery. 


Vertical, Space-Saving Design — lets 
you save space on your night stand or ta- 
ble. 


Sleep Timer — lets you set the radio to 
play for up to 90 minutes then automatical- 
ly turn off.

PREPARATION 





CONNECTING TO AC 
POWER 


Plug the clock radio's power cord into a 
standard AC outlet. The display turns on 
and the BATTERY SENTINEL indicator 
lights. (See "Installing Back-Up Batteries.") 


Caution: The clock radio's AC power cord 
is equipped with a polarized plug to pre- 
vent electric shock. One blade on the 
cord's plug is wider than the other and the 
plug only fits an outlet one way. If you can- 
not easily insert the plug, turn it over and 
try again. Do not force it. 


INSTALLING BACK-UP 
BATTERIES 


To keep the clock running for up to 8 hours 
during an AC power failure, install three 
AA batteries (not supplied) in the battery 
compartment. For the longest life, we rec- 
ommend alkaline batteries. 


Caution: Use only fresh batteries of the 
required size and recommended type. 


Note: To prevent unnecessary drain on 
the battery, connect AC power then install 


| the batteries. 


Follow these steps to install back-up bat- 
teries. 


1. Slide the battery compartment cover 
in the direction of the arrow and 
remove it. 


2. Place the batteries in the compart- 
ment and on top of the attached rib- 
bon, as indicated by the polarity 
symbols (+ and —) marked in the com- 
partment. 


3. Replace the cover. 


The BATTERY SENTINEL indicator lights 
if the back-up batteries are not installed or 
need to be replaced. 


Warning: Always dispose of old batteries 
promptly and properly. Do not bury or burn 
them.

wipe it dry immediately. 


* Use and store the clock radio only in 
normal temperature environments. 


* Handle the clock radio gently and 
carefully. Do not drop it. 


* Keep the clock radio away from dust 
and dirt. 


* Wipe the clock radio with a damp 
cloth occasionally to keep it looking 
new. 


Modifying or tampering with the clock ra- 
dio's internal components can cause a

as it should, take it to your local Ra- 
dioShack store for assistance.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO 
KNOW 


Your clock radio might cause TV or radio 
interference even when it is operating 
properly. To determine whether your clock 
radio is causing the interference, turn off 
your clock radio. If the interference goes 
away, your clock radio is causing the inter- 
ference. Try to eliminate the interference 
by: 


* moving your clock radio away from 
the TV or radio 


* connecting your clock radio to an out- 
let that is on different electrical circuit 
from the receiver 


* contacting your local RadioShack 
store for help 


If you cannot eliminate the reference, the 
FCC requires you that you stop using your 
radio.
