GE 7-4825 - Dual Wake Clock Radio Manual

"NO WORRY" BATTERY BACKUP

This clock radio is equipped with a memory holding system powered by a 9-volt alkaline battery (not included).

When power is interrupted or the AC line cord is unplugged, the battery will power the clock radio to keep track of time and alarm settings programmed into memory. Should WAKE TIME occur during the power interruption, the radio will operate or the alarm will sound if remaining battery power is adequate. Normal operation will resume after AC power is restored. When on battery power, the digital display will not light.

Install battery as follows:

1. Unlatch and lift off battery compartment door (located on bottom of radio).
2. Connect a 9-volt battery.
3. Insert battery in compartment and replace compartment door.

NOTE:

• Alkaline batteries are recommended. Carbon-zinc batteries may be used but memory holding time will be substantially reduced. Memory holding time for a fresh alkaline battery is approximately 8 hours (if Wake System is not activated). To preserve battery life, the radio should remain plugged into an AC outlet. As the battery gets older, its voltage will drop and memory may be lost. Be sure to replace the battery periodically.
• Be sure to remove battery when storing the unit. Battery will be drained if left connected while the unit is unplugged, and a worn out battery may leak chemicals which can badly damage the clock radio. When discarding batteries, be sure to dispose of them in the proper manner, according to your state and local regulations.

POWER FAILURE INDICATOR

If AC power is interrupted (disconnected) for a short period, both time and alarm settings will change unless optional battery is installed. After AC power is restored (reconnected) the digital display will blink to indicate that power was interrupted and you must readjust the TIME and ALARM settings.

BUILT-IN AFC

The Built-In Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) works only on FM. It helps keep the radio locked on the FM station to which it is tuned.

When tuning in FM stations, you may notice that often the station you desire can be heard on two or three nearby points on the dial. Always tune carefully to the loudest and clearest point.

ANTENNAS

AM Antenna - A built-in ferrite rod antenna eliminates the need for an outside antenna for AM reception - Rotating the unit slightly may improve reception of distant AM stations.

FM Antenna - The power cord acts as your FM antenna. The power cord picks up moderate to strong stations and eliminates the need for an external antenna in most strong signal areas. Be sure the power cord is stretched to its full length. Do not coil or bunch the cord together.

Changing position of the power cord may improve reception.

OPERATING THE RADIO

1. Plug the power cord into any 120V AC household outlet.
2. Press the ON button.
3. Slide the AM/FM BAND switch to desired broadcast band.
4. Turn TUNING dial to select a station and then turn the VOLUME control to your preferred listening level.
5. Press the OFF button to turn radio off.

SETTING THE TIME

Use the FAST FORWARD, FORWARD and REVERS E buttons to set the correct time. The AM indicator to the left of the digital display will show when the clock is reading AM time.

SETTING THE WAKE TIME

You can select two different wake times for music or alarm to turn on automatically. WAKE 1 and 2 controls are located on top of the unit behind the SNOOZE bar.

1. Slide switch to SET position. The display will change to wake time.
2. Use the FAST FORWARD, FORWARD and REVERSE buttons as needed until you reach your desired AM or PM wake time.

For music, select an AM or FM station and then turn the radio off. Set wake time and then slide the switch to MU SIC. For Alarm, set wake time and then slide switch to ALARM position.

If a wake time is set, an indicator in the display lights and the unit turns on in the chosen mode (alarm or music) at the set time for approximately one hour. To turn off the wake mode, slide the switch to OFF or press the OFF button.

NOTE: If both Wake 1 and Wake 2 controls are in the SET position, the time of day is displayed.

USING SNOOZE CONTROL

After the wake mode has activated, you can silence it for another 7 minutes by pressing the SNOOZE button. When the wake mode activates again, you can turn the unit off or use SNOOZE button for up to 59 minutes. The radio or alarm will then turn itself off after about an hour.

SLEEP TO MUSIC

You can drift off to sleep to music knowing that the radio will turn itself off automatically.

1. Turn the radio off.
2. Press and hold the SLEEP button. The radio will turn on automatically and 0:59 will show in the display.
3. Hold down the SLEEP button until you reach a sleep time between 59 and 1 minute.

The radio will play for the chosen length of time (up to 59 minutes) and then turn itself off. If you decide to turn the radio off before the total number of minutes have passed, just press the OFF button.
