ALARM FUNCTION
You can use the alarm function to wake you to an electronic buzzer tone, the radio,
or your favorite CD.
First press the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 buttons on the front panel to check the
Wake Up time settings. Adjust the Wake Up times if necessary.
Wake To Buzzer (Crescendo Alarm)
Slide the ALARM 1 and/or ALARM 2 selector switches on the left side panel to the
BUZZER position.
The ALM 1 and or ALM 2 indicators appear in the display. At the selected wake up
time the buzzer will sound.
It will start softly and gradually increase in volume to wake you up. The buzzer
alarm will continue for one hour and then shut off automatically.
To stop the buzzer alarm sooner press the ALARM 1 and/or ALARM 2 buttons on
the front panel.
Note: Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 have different buzzer sounds so you can easily tell
which alarm is going off.
Wake To Radio
Tune to the desired radio station and adjust the volume to the level you want to
hear in the morning when the alarm comes on.
Press the POWER ON/OFF button to shut the system ‘Off’.
Slide the ALARM 1 and/or ALARM 2 selector switches on the left side panel to the
MUSIC position.
The ALM 1 and or ALM 2 indicators appear in the display. At the selected wake up
time the radio will turn on. It will continue for one hour and then shut off automatically.
To stop the radio alarm sooner press the ALARM 1 and/or ALARM 2 buttons on
the front panel.

Wake To CD
IMPORTANT: This model includes an automatic default to the Buzzer alarm if
the player cannot read the disc that you selected for wake-up. If the player
cannot read the disc's Table of Contents (TOC) within 8 seconds, it assumes
that the disc is either defective or inserted incorrectly, and the system
automatically defaults to the Buzzer alarm to make sure that you wake up on
time. The TOC of CD-RW discs may take longer to read than normal CD's.
Therefore if you are trying to wake to a CD-RW disc and you are awakened by
the Buzzer alarm instead, this is because the TOC on your CD-RW disc took
too long to read.
This is normal and not an indication of any problem with your unit.
Load the desired CD, begin playback and adjust the volume to the desired level.
Press the POWER ON/OFF button to shut the system ‘Off’.
Slide the ALARM 1 and/or ALARM 2 selector switches on the left side panel to the
MUSIC position. The ALM 1 and or ALM 2 indicators will appear in the display.
At the selected wake up time the CD will begin to play. It will continue for one hour,
or until the end of the disc, and then shut off automatically.
To stop the CD alarm sooner, press the STOP
button or press the ALARM 1
and/or ALARM 2 buttons on the front panel.
The Alarm will automatically repeat each day at the selected Wake Up time as
long as the ALARM 1 and/or ALARM 2 selector switches are set to the BUZZER
or MUSIC positions.
To cancel the alarms, slide the ALARM 1 and/or ALARM 2 selector switches to
the OFF position. The ALM 1 and or ALM 2 indicators go ‘Off’.
SNOOZE FUNCTION
After the alarm turns on in the morning you can use the Snooze function to grab a
few more minutes sleep before the alarm sounds again.
To activate the Snooze function press the SNOOZE button on the top cabinet, the
Snooze function will stop the alarm for 9 minutes and then turn the alarm on again.
The selected ALM 1 and or ALM 2 indicator flashes during Snooze operation.
The Snooze operation can be repeated several times within one hour. But after
one hour the alarm will not turn on again.
