Timex T-740 Clock Radio User Manual

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Timex Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Redi-Set Automatic Time Setting System. The clock in this
model will set itself to the correct year, month, date, day, and time, the first time you plug it in, and after every power
interruption. The default setting is the Eastern Time zone. All you need do is set it to your own time zone once, and you may
never have to adjust it again. Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time adjustments are made automatically, through the year
2099. This model is truly the cure for the annoying “flashing 12:00” display.
This model includes a programmable dual alarm system that allows you to set one or both alarms for weekdays only,
weekends only, or everyday operation. And you can have one alarm wake you to the buzzer while the second alarm wakes
you to your favorite radio station. There is also a removable, rechargeable flashlight, a time projector, and soothing nature
sounds.
And the Sure-Alarm battery back up system will operate the buzzer alarm to wake you up even if the power is off at the
wake-up time. Best of all, with Xtreme Battery Back Up (XBBU) system the long life 3-volt lithium battery that is pre-installed
in your unit will last for 5 to 8 years before it needs to be replaced………a major money-saver compared to buying new 9-volt
batteries every 6 months. And when the 3-volt lithium battery finally does need to be replaced, a low battery indicator begins
flashing in the display.
Please read this manual completely to understand all of the great features included in your model. Please retain this manual
for future reference, and because the warranty and product service info are printed at the end of this manual.
Preparation For Use
Unpacking And Set Up
Remove the radio and rechargeable flashlight from the carton and remove all packing materials from the radio. We
recommend that, if possible, you save the carton and packing materials in case your radio ever needs to be returned for
service. Using the original carton and packing material is the best way to protect your radio from damage in transit. If you
do dispose of the carton and packing material, please do so properly. Timex cares about our environment.
Place the radio on a stable, level surface convenient to an AC outlet, and away from direct sunlight or sources of excess
heat, dust, moisture, or humidity.
Place the flashlight in the charging cradle on the top cabinet. Push the back end of the flashlight against the charging
contacts until the front of the flashlight is resting against the flashlight retaining tab.
Unwind the external FM antenna on the back cabinet and extend it to its full length for best FM reception.
