13. Nonuse periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet  
when left unused for a long period of time.  
14. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids  
are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.  
15. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified service  
personnel when:  
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or  
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid been spilled into the appliance; or  
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or

surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/  
NFPA 70 provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and  
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of  
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Your new AM/FM CLOCK RADIO CASSETTE PLAYER is a specially designed all solid state  
set which, with proper care, will give you years of trouble-free service.  
Powering Up  
Plug the AC POWER CORD into a 120V, 60Hz wall outlet . The CLOCK DISPLAY will light up or  
flash indicating the power is on.  
NOTE:  
ONE BLADE OF THE PLUG IS WIDER  
THAN THE OTHER. ALSO DO NOT USE  
AN OUTLET CONTROLLED BY A WALL  
SWITCH.  
NOTE: This cord is polarized. This means the cord will only fit one way into the socket or wall  
outlet. If it does not fit, do not force it, just reverse it and try again.  
BATTERY BACK-UP  
If the AC cord is disconnected or if there is a short time power failure, this electronic clock and  
timer are designed to continue operating internally (without showing in the display) if a 9 volt  
battery (not included) is installed.  
To connect the battery, locate the BATTERY COMPARTMENT on the bottom of the set. Open  
the BATTERY COMPARTMENT by pushing in on the tab, open the door, and connect the  
battery to the terminals of the battery snap inside the compartment (Alkaline battery is  
recommended). Replace the battery compartment door. The back-up battery will keep your  
alarm and time setting to avoid your having to reset these if power fails.  
NOTE: Be sure to check the condition of the battery every few months by disconnecting the  
AC cord and connecting it again 2 or 3 minutes later. The preset times will show. If the  
time flashes, it indicates the battery is dead or not connected properly.  
The radio will work fine without this back up battery.  
BATTERY PRECAUTION  
Follow these precautions when using a battery in this device:  
1. Use only the size and type of battery specified (9 volt)  
2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the battery as indicated in the battery compartment .  
3. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the battery 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).
