FCC Information This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. · Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. · Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. · Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.

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 batteries 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 batteries as follow: 1. Unlock the battery compartment door (located at the bottom of the radio) by sliding the tab away from the door. 2. Remove the battery compartment door. 3. Insert 2 "AA" batteries. 4. Replace the compartment door and slide the tab to lock battery compartment. EN Power Failure Indicator When the AC power is interrupted (disconnected) for a short period of time, both time and alarm settings will change (unless optional battery is installed). After the 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.
