Using The Clock Radio

Your receiver has two clocks.  We recommend you set the primary clock for
local time and the secondary clock for UTC (Universal Time Coordinate -
formerly called Greenwich Mean Time), because most short-wave stations
announce broadcast times in UTC.

The time zone map on the back of the receiver shows the difference in hours
between UTC and each time zone.  To determine your local time, add or sub-
tract the specified number from UTC time.  During Daylight Saving Time,
subtract 1 more hour.

Setting The Clocks

Follow these steps to set each clock.  Both clocks display the time in 24-
hour format (0:00 - 23:59).

1.  Repeatedly press the right DUAL TIME button to select the clock you want
    to set. (clock symbol with 2) appears when the secondary clock is selec-
    ted and disappears when the primary clock is selected.

2.  Press TIME SET.  TIME SET flashes on the display.

3.  While TIME SET flashes, set the correct time by pressing the number
    buttons.  Do not precede single-digit hours with a 0.  For example,
    enter 930 for 9:30.

    If you make a mistake, press C (cancel) to erase the last digit.

    NOTE:  If you wait more than 15 seconds to press a button, TIME SET
           stops flashing and you must begin again at Step 2.

4.  Press ENTER.

Changing the Clock Display

To change from one clock display to the other, press the right DUAL TIME
button.  (clock symbol with 2) appears or disappears to show you which time
clock you are viewing.

To briefly change the clock display, press and hold down the left DUAL TIME
button.  Release the left DUAL TIME button to return to the previous clock
display.

Using The Alarm (Standby) Feature

You can set a buzzer to sound or have the radio turn on at a specified time.

The alarm sounds when the current clock display shows the alarm time.  Be
sure the clock display is set to show the desired clock when the alarm time
arrives.

For example, you can use the alarm to remind you to tune to a foreign
broadcast.  Set the secondary clock for UTC, set the alarm for the UTC
broadcast time, and be sure the display shows the secondary clock.

Setting The Alarm

1.  Press STANDBY.  STANDBY flashes on the display and the current alarm
    time appears.

2.  While STANDBY flashes, press the number buttons to enter the alarm time.

    If you make a mistake, press C (cancel) to erase the last digit.

    NOTE:  If you wait more than 15 seconds to press a button, STANDBY stops
           flashing and you must begin again at Step 1.

3.  Press ENTER.

    The clock display returns after a few seconds.  STANDBY stops flashing
    and remains on the display with (clock symbol with 2).

4.  Set STANDBY BUZZER/RADIO to BUZZER to set the buzzer to sound or to
    RADIO to set the radio to turn on at the alarm time.

Silencing The Alarm

When the display shows the alarm time, the radio turns on or the buzzer
sounds and (bed symbol) flashes on the display.

After several seconds, the buzzer's volume increases.  After a few more
seconds, the volume increases again.

The buzzer automatically stops or the receiver automatically turns off after
60 minutes.  To silence the alarm sooner, press RADIO POWER.  The flashing
(bed symbol) disappears and the alarm sounds again the next day at the set
time.

Turning The Alarm Off/On

To turn off the alarm so it does not sound again, press STANDBY.  While
STANDBY flashes, press C.

If you then want to set the alarm again, press STANDBY.  While STANDBY
flashes, press ENTER.

Using The Sleep Timer

The sleep timer sets the receiver to turn off after 60 minutes so you can
fall asleep as you listen to the receiver.

1.  When the receiver is off, press SLEEP.  The receiver turns on, and (bed
    symbol) appears on the display.

2.  If necessary, tune to the desired station.

After 60 minutes, the receiver turns off.  To turn off the receiver sooner,
press RADIO POWER.
