Congratulations!
And thank you for purchasing the Jumbo Display SmartSet ® Clock Radio from
Emerson Research. SmartSet® is the world’s first and only LED clock radio that
will automatically set itself to the correct ‘Year’, ‘Month’, ‘Date’, ‘Day’, and ‘Time’as
soon as you plug it in. The only thing you have to do is tell the SmartSet® what time
zone you are in, and the built in computer does everything else for you immediately.
And not only the first time, but every time the power is interrupted as well.
We all know how annoying it is to wake up in the morning and see the dreaded
flashing “12:00” display on our clocks or clock radios. But with your SmartSet ®
Clock Radio the dreaded flashing “12:00” display is a thing of the past.
The SmartSet ® resets itself as soon as the power is restored and gets you up on
time, every time.
And if that isn’t enough, the SmartSet® computer also knows when Daylight Saving
Time begins and ends and it will adjust itself for those changes automatically through
the year 2099! Leap Years too! And best of all, the long life lithium battery backup
battery is already installed in your radio. You don’t have to remember to put a new
9-volt battery in your radio every 6 months. Under normal circumstances the lithium
battery can last for up to 5 years, and when it does need to be changed, a low
battery indicator will ‘flash’to let you know. The CR2430 lithium battery is available
almost anywhere that batteries are sold and it costs about the same as a normal
9-volt battery.
The SmartSet® also gives you dual alarms that can be set to go off on weekdays
only, weekends only, or all 7 days. You can set one alarm to wake you up to buzzer
Monday through Friday when you have to get up early, and use the second alarm
to wake you up to soft music on Saturday and Sunday when you can sleep in.
Someday all clocks and clock radios may be this smart. But today the technology
is only available from Emerson Research. We’re sure you’ll be happy and amazed
by your SmartSet® Clock Radio, and that it will give you many years of enjoyment
and dependable service.
Once again, all of us at Emerson Research thank you for your purchase.

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.
NOTE: Do not place this radio on a metal shelf, metal table, or other
metal surface as this may interfere with AM reception.

• 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 existing AC
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
probably have an out-dated non-polarized AC
outlet. You should have your outlet changed by
AC Outlet

a qualified licensed electrician.

AC Plug

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’unecessarily.

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 set the correct “Month”, “Date”,
“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 01 —

Atlantic Time

ZONE 02 —

Eastern Time

ZONE 03 —

Central Time

ZONE 04 —

Mountain Time

ZONE 05 —

Pacific Time

ZONE 06 —

Yukon Time

ZONE 07 —

Hawaiian Time

(Default Setting)

To change the default time zone display, depress the TIME ZONE button.
The word “ZONE” appears in the main
display, and the number “2” will appear
on the month/date display, indicating
that the default zone is Zone 02, Eastern
Time.

31/7/2006, 11:11

Hold the TIME ZONE button and then press either the SET + or SET – 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.

DATE DISPLAY
The correct Month and Date appear in the small display. The Month and Date are
expressed numerically in the MM/DD format.
For example, May 21st will be displayed as (5. 21). This display adjusts automatically
for months of different lengths.
For example, at midnight on February 28th (2. 28), the display will automatically
change to March 1st (3. 1), unless it is a Leap Year, in which case the display will
change to February 29th (2. 29).

YEAR DISPLAY
To see the correct Year, depress the TIME and MONTH/DATE buttons together.
The small display changes from “Month/Date” to
“Year”. When you release the TIME and MONTH/
DATE buttons the small display returns to Month
and Date.

DAYLIGHT SAVING AND LEAP YEAR ADJUSTMENTS
All Daylight Saving and Leap Year adjustments are made automatically by
the SmartSet® internal computer as follows:
• Start of Daylight Saving Time:
At “2:00 AM” on the 2nd Sunday in March, the clock will automatically
advance to “3:00 AM”.
• End of Daylight Saving Time:
At “3:00 AM” on the 1st Sunday in November, the clock will automatically
reset to “2:00 AM”.
• Leap Year:
At “12:00 Midnight” on February 28th, the calendar display will change
to “2. 29”.

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 SET – buttons to adjust the time display ahead or back as
desired. Each press of the SET + or SET – buttons will change the display by one
minute. If you hold the SET + or SET – 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 SET – 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.

ADJUSTING THE WAKE UP TIMES
Your SmartSet ® clock radio has two separate alarms that can be set and used
independently. You may use the alarms to wake two people at different times, or
you may use one alarm for weekdays and the other for weekend wake up times.
The procedure for adjusting the wake up time is the same for both Alarm 1 and
Alarm 2.
1.) Depress and hold either the ALM 1 or ALM 2 setting button. The main display
will change from the correct time to the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 wake up time.
2.) While holding the ALM 1 or ALM 2 setting button, depress either the SET + or
SET – button to move the display ahead or back to your desired wake up time.
3.) When the desired wake up time appears on the display, release all buttons.

NOTE: Be sure that you have set the wake up time correctly by observing the
AM indicator. If the AM indicator is ‘On’ the wake up time is “AM”. If the AM
indicator is ‘Off’, the wake up time is “PM”.

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 “BATT. LOW” 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 power cord connected to your AC outlet.
This will provide power to the SmartSet ® computer memory while the
original lithium battery is removed.
3.) Place the radio face down 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 !

POSITIVE(+) SIDE

4.) Slide the battery holder out of the cabinet. Then remove the original battery
from the holder and insert the new battery into the holder the same way, with
the positive(+) side facing up.
5.) Slide the holder with the new battery back into the opening in the cabinet.
6.) Replace the screw that secures the battery holder in the cabinet.
7.) Place the radio standing up and confirm that the “BATT. LOW” indicator is
‘Off’.
8.) Save these instructions. You’ll have to do this again five to eight years from
now!

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

‘flashing’ BATT. LOW 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.
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 “AM 12:00, Saturday, January 1st (1. 1), 2005”.
If you notice that the Time on your SmartSet® clock radio is completely incorrect,
the Month/Date display and Day indicators are also wrong, you probably experienced
a total memory loss.
To reset the clock after a total memory loss, proceed as follows:
1.) Follow the instructions on pages 15,16 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 TIME and MONTH/DATE buttons together. The small display will
change from ‘Month/Date’to ‘Year’.
While holding the TIME and MONTH/DATE buttons, press the SET + or
SET – button to set the small display to the correct Year, then release the
buttons.
4.) Depress the MONTH/DATE button and the SET + or SET – button to set the
small display to the correct Month and Date. The Day 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 + or SET – button to set the main
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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
If the cabinet becomes dusty, wipe it with a soft cloth. If the cabinet becomes
smudged or dirty, clean it with a soft, slightly dampened cloth. Never allow
water or any liquid to get inside the cabinet. Never use any abrasive cleaners
or cleaning pads as these will damage the finish of your radio.

Lithium Battery Precautions
• Dispose of the old battery properly. Do not leave it lying around where a young
child or pet could play with, or swallow it. If the battery is swallowed, contact a
physician immediately.
• Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not attempt to recharge it or disassemble
it. Do not dispose of the old battery in a fire.
