IMPORTANT! Protect Your Furniture
This radio is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the radio from moving when you operate the controls. These
‘feet’ are made from special non-migrating rubber material formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture.
However certain types of oil-based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may react with the rubber ‘feet’,
causing the rubber material to soften and leave marks or a rubber residue on wooden furniture. If you will be placing this radio
on fine wooden furniture we strongly recommend that you place a small cloth between the radio and your furniture, or that
you apply small felt pads on the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’.
Power Source
This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not attempt to
operate this radio on any other power source. You could cause damage to the radio and such
damage is not covered by your warranty.
This radio should be connected to an AC outlet that is always ‘live’. Do not connect it to an
outlet that is controlled by a wall switch. When the power to the radio is interrupted the
installed lithium battery takes over to maintain the time and alarm settings, and to operate the
buzzer alarm if the power is ‘Off’ at the wake up time. To maximize the life of the lithium
battery keep the radio connected to a ‘live’ AC outlet at all times.
This radio is equipped with a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade.
This is a safety feature designed to minimize the chance of electric shock. If this plug will not
fit into your existing AC outlet do not try to force it and do not try to file the wider blade to
make it fit. Contact a qualified, licensed electrician to replace your outdated outlet.
Sure Alarm Battery Back-Up System
This Timex Redi-Set Clock Radio includes a Sure-Alarm battery back-up circuit that will wake-you up even if the power is ‘off’
at the selected wake-up time. If your power is ‘off’ at the wake up time the clock display will be off and the radio will not
operate, but a separate ‘mini-buzzer’ will turn on automatically to wake you up, even if you selected the Wake To Radio
option.
The Sure-Alarm buzzer will sound for 3 minutes and then shut off automatically.
To stop the Sure-Alarm buzzer immediately, press the RADIO ON/OFF button. The SNOOZE button has no effect during
Sure-Alarm operation.
Note: In order to maximize the life of the built-in lithium battery please be sure to set the Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 switches to
the ‘OFF’ position if the radio will be disconnected from the AC outlet for more than a few hours. This will prevent the
Sure-Alarm buzzer from turning ‘On’ unnecessarily.
