PREPARATION

CONNECTING TO AC

POWER

Plug the clock radio’s power cord into

a standard AC outlet. The display

flashes.

BATTERY BACK-UP

WITH BATTERY

SENTINEL

Your clock radio has a back-up power

system that operates the clock and

alarm during a power failure. The clock

display goes off, but the clock operates

for at least 8 hours, and the alarm

sounds for at least 10 minutes, if set.

The BATTERY SENTINEL indicator, a

small red dot at the bottom right of the

display, appears if the battery is low, or

if one is not installed.

Installing a Back-up Battery

Your clock radio requires a 9-volt bat-

tery (not supplied) for its back-up pow-

er system. For the best performance,

we recommend an alkaline battery,

such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-553.

Caution: Use only a fresh battery of

the required size and type.

Note: To prevent unnecessary drain

on the battery, install it only after con-

necting the clock radio to AC power.

1. To remove the battery compart-

ment cover, press down and slide

it in the direction of the arrow.

2. Snap the clock radio’s battery

contacts onto the battery termi-

nals, then insert the battery into

the compartment. The BATTERY

SENTINEL indicator turns off.

3. Replace the cover.

Warnin

: Always dispose of old bat-

teries promptly and properly.

CONNECTING AN

EARPHONE

To listen privately, you can plug an op-

tional earphone into the EAR jack on

the back of the clock radio. (You can

use headphones, but you cannot re-

ceive a stereo signal.) You can find a

complete selection of earphones and

headphones at your local Radio Shack

store.

Note: Connecting an earphone auto-

matically disconnects the built-in

speaker.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these

guidelines when you use an earphone.

• Set the volume to the lowest set-

ting before you begin listening.

After you begin listening, adjust

the volume to a comfortable level.

• Do not listen at extremely high

volume levels. Extended high-vol-

ume listening can lead to perma-

nent hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not

increase it. Over time, your ears

adapt to the volume level, so a

volume level that does not cause

discomfort might still damage your

hearing.

MAINTENANCE

Your Chronomatic-291 AM/FM LED Digital Clock Radio is an example of superior

design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the clock

radio so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the clock radio dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dryimmediately. Liquids

might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Handle the clock radio gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage

circuit boards and cases and can cause the clock radio to work im-

properly.

Use and store the clock radio only in normal temperature environ-

ments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic de-

vices and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the clock radio away from dust and dirt, which can cause pre-

mature wear of parts.

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

new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-

gents to clean the clock radio.

Modifying or tampering with the clock radio’s internal components can cause a mal-

function and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper-

ate it. If your clock radio is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio

Shack store for assistance.

CLEANER

12-1591a.fm Page 8 Friday, July 9, 1999 9:03 AM

THE FCC WANTS YOU

TO KNOW

Your clock radio might cause TV or ra-

dio interference even when it is operat-

ing properly. To determine whether

your clock radio is causing the interfer-

ence, turn off your clock radio. If the in-

terference goes away, your clock radio

is causing the interference. Try to elim-

inate the interference by:

• Moving your clock radio away

from the TV or radio

• Connecting your clock radio to an

outlet that is on a different electri-

cal circuit from the TV or radio

• Contacting your local Radio

Shack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interfer-

ence, the FCC requires that you stop

using the clock radio.
