CARE AND MAINTENANCE
supplying power to the SmartSet computer memory. Once you plug the radio in,
your household outlet supplies the power, and the battery is not being used. A fresh
lithium battery can supply power to the SmartSet computer for at least 3 years even
if it is never connected to an AC power supply. If your clock radio was connected to
your AC supply within a few months after it was manufactured, and you experience
only the normal, nuisance type, short duration power interruptions, your battery may
last for up to 5 years or even longer.
When the battery power drops below a certain level,the LOW BATT.indicator
will 'Flash'. When you see this indicator, you should change the battery as soon as
it is convenient for you to do so. To change the battery proceed as follows:
1.) Purchase a replacement 3V lithium battery wherever batteries are sold . The
battery type is CR2032 or equivalent.
2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.
If you do not change the built in lithium battery within a reasonable period of time
after you see the warning indicator, the lithium battery may become exhausted
and will no longer be able to supply back up power to the SmartSet
internal computer. If the unit is disconnected from the AC outlet after the battery
is exhausted or if a power interruption occurs, the SmartSet memory will be lost
and the clock will need to be reset when the power is restored.
Be sure to install a fresh lithium battery before you reset the clock, otherwise the
clock will need to be reset each time the power is interrupted.
The initial default setting is "12:00 AM, Sunday , January 1st (1. 1), 2012".
If you notice that the time on your SmartSet clock radio is completely incorrect,
and the DAY OF WEEK indicator is also wrong, press the MONTH/DATE button to
see the date.
If the date display is showing "1. 1 " (January 1st),
you probably experienced a total memory loss.
To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed
as follows:
1 .) Follow the instructions on page 10,11 and install a new CR2032 lithium battery
in the battery compartment.
2.) Connect the radio to your AC outlet and let the clock set itself.
3.) Depress the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons together. The display will change
from 'Time' to 'Year'.
While holding in the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons, press the SET +
button to set the display to the correct year, then release the buttons.
4.) Depress the MONTH/DATE button. The display will change from 'Time'
to 'Month/Date' (MM/DD).
While holding in the MONTH/DATE button, press the SET + button to set the display
to the correct Month and Date. The DAY OF WEEK indicator will change automatically
as you adjust the Month/Date settings. When the correct Month and Date appear
on the display, release the buttons.
5.) Depress the TIME button and the SET + button to set the display to the correct
Time. Be sure to confirm that you have set the time correctly to 'AM' or 'PM'
by observing the AM indicator.
6.) After you set the Time, reconfirm that the Day, and Month/Date displays are
still correct. Make final adjustments if necessary.
The SmartSet clock memory is now reset and the new lithium battery will maintain
it for the next 5 to 8 years, depending on the number and duration of the power
outages you experience.
After resetting the clock, don't forget to reset your wake up times and alarm
mode settings, and sleep timer settings as well.

the new battery back into the slot in the cabinet.
5.) Replace the screw that secures the battery holder in the cabinet.
6.) Turn the radio right side up and confirm that the LOW BATT indicator is 'Off'.

Resetting The Clock After A Total Memory Loss
If the lithium battery is exhausted and you experience an interruption in the AC
power supply, the clock will reset itself to its initial default setting when the power is
restored.

IMPORTANT: Remember that the station and volume settings you choose for
the Sleep To Music operation are the same settings you will hear if you set the
alarm for Wake To Radio the following morning.
The DIMMER control was set to High position at our factory.
If you find the clock display is too bright in a darkened room, set the Dimmer by
pressing SNOOZE / SLEEP / DIMMER Button.
Like all batteries, eventually the built in lithium battery will need to be replaced. A
number of factors, such as, the length of time between the date the radio was
manufactured and the date you plugged it in for the first time determine the amount
of time before replacement. During this initial storage period, the lithium battery is
OFF
