Thank you for purchasing this Emerson SmartSet® Dual Alarm Clock Radio
with Time Projection System.
This clock radio uses Emerson’s patented SmartSet® Automatic Time Setting
System. The first time you connect this clock radio to your AC outlet, and after
every power interruption, within seconds the clock will automatically set itself
to the correct year, month, date, day, and time. You will never see that annoying,
flashing “12:00” display again. In addition all changes from Standard Time to
Daylight saving time, and back to Standard Time, are made automatically.
There are dual alarms that can be set and used independently, which means
that you can set one alarm to wake you to the buzzer and the other to wake
you to music. And both of the alarms can be programmed for everyday
operation, weekdays only, or weekends only.
This model also includes an integrated clock time projector that will project
the Time in large numerals on the wall or ceiling of a dark room. This allows
you to see the time without actually looking at the clock itself.
There is a long life lithium battery installed in this clock radio when you buy it.
This battery can maintain the time and alarm settings for 3 to 5 years, or even
longer, so there is no need to pay for a new 9-volt battery every 6 months, as
is recommended in other clock radios with normal battery back up.

PREPARATION FOR USE
Unpacking And Set Up
• Remove the radio from the carton and remove all packing material from the
radio. We suggest that you save the packing material, if possible, in the unlikely
event that your radio ever needs to be returned for service. The original carton
and packing material is the only safe way to pack your radio to protect it from
damage in transit.
• Remove any descriptive labels or stickers on the front or top of the cabinet. Do
not remove any labels or stickers from the back or bottom of the cabinet.
• Note the serial number on the bottom of your radio and write this number in the
space provided on the Warranty page of this manual.
• Place your radio on a level surface such as a table, desk or shelf, convenient
to an AC outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat,
dirt, dust, moisture, humidity, or vibration.
• Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. The FM antenna is
built in to this cord. It must be fully extended to provide the best FM reception.
Protect Your Furniture
This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' to prevent the product from
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating
rubber material specially 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 cause the rubber 'feet' to soften, and leave marks or a
rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly
recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware
stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the
bottom of the rubber 'feet' before you place the product on fine wooden furniture.

Power Source
This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not
attempt to operate the radio on any other power source. You could cause damage
to the radio that 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 built in lithium battery takes over to maintain the time and alarm
settings. To maximize the life of the lithium battery keep the radio connected to a
‘live’ AC outlet at all times.
You will note that this system is equipped with
a polarized AC power plug having one blade
wider than the other. This is a safety feature. If
this plug does not fit into your existingAC outlet,
do not try to defeat this safety feature by filing
the wide blade to make it fit into your outlet.
If this plug will not fit into your outlet, you
AC Outlet
probably have an out-dated non-polarized AC
AC Plug
outlet. You should have your outlet changed by
a qualified licensed electrician.
Sure Alarm battery Back-Up System
This SmartSet® Clock Radio includes a Sure Alarm battery back-up circuit that can
wake you up even if the power is ‘Off’ at the selected wake up time. If your power
is ‘Off’ at the selected 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 had selected the “Wake to Radio” option.
The Sure Alarm will sound for 30 seconds and then shut off automatically.
To stop the Sure Alarm buzzer immediately, press the RADIO ON/OFF button.
Pressing 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 from turning ‘On’ unnecessarily.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting The Time, The First Time
IMPORTANT: The first time you connect your new SmartSet® clock radio to the
AC outlet the internal computer will automatically set the time correctly for the
Eastern Time Zone, which is the initial default setting. The display will scan for a
few seconds and then show the correct Day and Time in the Eastern zone. If you
live in the Eastern Time zone, there’s nothing else to do. Your clock is set correctly
and running.
If you do not live in the Eastern Time zone you must change the default zone
display to your own zone. You only do this one time and the SmartSet® will remember
the new default zone setting and will always return to that setting after a power
interruption.
There are 7 time zones programmed into your SmartSet® clock radio as follows:
ZONE 1
ZONE 2
ZONE 3
ZONE 4
ZONE 5
ZONE 6
ZONE 7
—
—
—
—
—
—
—
Atlantic Time
Eastern Time (Default Setting)
Central Time
Mountain Time
Pacific Time
Yukon Time
Hawaiian Time
To change the default time zone display,
depress the TIME ZONE button. The number
“2” will appear on the display indicating that the
default zone is ZONE 2, Eastern Time.
Hold the TIME ZONE button and then press either the SET + or – buttons until
your own time zone appears on the display, then release the buttons. The clock
display will change to the correct time in the time zone you selected. The clock will
always return to the correct time in the zone you selected after every power
interruption.
If you move to a different time zone, simply change the default zone display to the
new zone and the SmartSet® will remember that setting for you.

Manual Time Adjustments
Some people like to set their clocks 5 to 10 minutes fast to make sure that they will
always be on time. Even though the SmartSet® sets the time by itself, you still have
the option of adjusting the time manually if you wish.
To manually adjust the time display depress and hold the TIME button, and press
either the SET + or – buttons to adjust the time display ahead or back as desired.
Each press of the SET + or – buttons will change the display by one minute. If you
hold the SET + or – buttons the display will continue to change. The display will
change slowly at first, one minute at a time. But if you continue holding the SET +
or – buttons the display will change rapidly.
NOTE: If you manually adjust the time, your new setting is entered into the
SmartSet® memory. If the power is interrupted, the display will return to your
new setting, not the original setting, when the power is restored.

Changing The Lithium Battery
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
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 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 CR2430 or equivalent.
2.) Remove the battery from its package so it is ready to install.
IMPORTANT: Leave the radio AC power cord connected to your AC outlet.
This will provide power to the SmartSet® computer memory while the
original lithium battery is removed.
3.) Turn the radio face up and use a small screw driver to remove the screw
securing the battery holder to the cabinet.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THIS SMALL SCREW!

4.) Remove the original battery from the holder and insert the new battery into the
holder the same way, observing the positive (+) direction. Slide the holder with
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

Resetting The Clock After A Total Memory Loss
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 theAC outlet after the batteryis 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.
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.
The initial default setting is “12:00 AM, Saturday, January 1st (1. 1), 2005”.
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
first), 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 20-21 and install a new CR2430 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 displaywill change
from ‘Time’ to ‘Year’.
While holding 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 the MONTH/DATE button, press the SET + button to set the
display to the correct Month andDate. 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
After resetting the clock, don’t forget to reset your wake up times, and alarm
mode settings, and sleep timer settings as well.
