Thank you ………………….  
For purchasing this Emerson Research SmartSet® Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Triple  
Display plus ‘Touchless’ Snooze and Display Control Features. We think you will be truly  
amazed by all of the features that we have packed into this compact bedside companion.  
First of all there is Emerson’s patented SmartSet® Automatic Time Setting System. The  
first time you connect this clock radio to your AC outlet it will immediately set itself to the  
correct year, month, date, day and time in the Eastern Time Zone. If you live in a different  
time zone there is one simple Time Zone adjustment to make and you will never see the  
dreaded “flashing 12:00” display again. It will automatically reset itself every time you  
have a power interruption, and not just the time but your wake-up times as well. Daylight  
Saving Time and Leap Year adjustments are also done automatically through the year  
2099.  
In addition to the jumbo amber time display there are two smaller displays that show the  
Alarm 1 and Alarm 2 wake-up times, so you can see at a glance that the alarms are set  
correctly. If one of the alarms is off, the display clearly shows “OFF”. No guesswork required.  
Like to hit that snooze bar in the morning but don’t like reaching for the top of the radio?  
Problem solved. Just wave your hand in front of the Touchless Snooze Wave Sensor and  
go back to sleep for another 9 minutes. No touching required.  
Love that big display that’s so easy to see but prefer to sleep in total darkness? We  
thought of that one as well. Just set the display dimmer control to the “OFF/WAVE” position  
and the display goes off completely. But if you need to check the time in the middle of the  
night just wave your hand in front of the sensor. The display returns to full brightness for 10  
seconds and then switches off again. Brilliant!  
Just like every other SmartSet® model, this clock radio has a built-in, long-life lithium battery  
that can provide back up for all of the important settings for up to 5 years or even longer.  
No need to try and remember to install a fresh 9V battery ever 6 months. And when it’s  
time to change the lithium battery the low battery indicator will ‘flash’ in the display.  
We have taken great care to make sure that every feature in your clock radio was working  
properly when it left our factory. If, after reading this manual completely, you have any  
problems with the set-up or operation of this model, please do not return it to the retail  
store. Please call the Emerson Consumer Products Customer Service Hotline, toll free, at  
1-800-898-9020 between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM Central Time. One of our  
product specialists will try and solve the problem for you. If that is not possible you will be  
instructed about the procedure to receive a replacement model.  
Once again, thank you for purchasing this Emerson Research SmartSet® Clock Radio.

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 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 a qualified licensed electrician.

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 displays will scroll for a  
few seconds and then show the correct Year, Month, Date, Day and Time in the  
Eastern Time 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  
02” will appear on the display indicating that  
the default zone is ZONE 2, Eastern Time.  
WAVE SENSOR  
Hold the TIME ZONE button and then press either the SET  
(Up) or  
(Down)  
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.

Month / Date / Year Display  
To see the correct “date” at any time, press the CALENDAR button. The correct  
month and date will appear in the ALARM 1 display and the correct year will appear  
in the ALARM 2 display. The month and date is displayed in the MM.DD format.  
For example, May 21st will be displayed as “5.21”. The two small displays will  
revert to the Alarm 1/ Alarm 2 indications a few seconds after you release the  
CALENDAR button.  
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  
(Up) or  
(Down) buttons to adjust the time display ahead or  
back as desired.  
Each press of the SET (Up) or (Down) buttons will change the display by one  
minute. If you hold the SET (Up) or (Down) 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  
(Up) or  
(Down) 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.

Display Brightness Control  
This SmartSet® Clock Radio features a unique display brightness control system  
that gives you three convenient options:  
HIGH – when the dimmer switch is set to the “HIGH” position the clock display  
is always at full brightness. The dimmer switch was set to the ‘High’ position at  
our factory.  
LOW – when the dimmer switch is set to the “LOW” position the display  
brightness is reduced by approximately 50%.  
OFF/WAVE– when the dimmer switch is set to the “OFF/WAVE” position the  
display goes ‘Off’ completely. This is designed for people who prefer to sleep  
in total darkness. However if you want to see the clock display at any time,  
slowly wave your hand in front of the WAVE SENSOR on the front panel. The  
clock display will immediately return to full brightness for 10 seconds and then  
shut off again automatically. The effective operating range of the Wave Sensor  
is approximately 12” to 36” from the front panel.  
Wave Your Hand  
To Restore The Display  
For 10 Seconds  
Display Selector Set To OFF/WAVE  
NOTES:  
A.) The clock radio must be at room temperature for the WAVE SENSOR to  
function properly. If the radio has been in a cold location the WAVE  
SENSOR may not operate immediately. Place the radio in the room where  
it will be used, connect it to the AC outlet, and allow approximately 30  
minutes to 60 minutes for the radio to come to room temperature before  
testing the WAVE SENSOR function.  
B.) If the dimmer switch is set to the “OFF/WAVE” position the display will be  
completely off. However at the Alarm time the display will return to full  
brightness automatically. It will remain at full brightness for one hour and  
then return to the ‘Off’ position. If you stop the alarm immediately by  
pressing the respective Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 buttons, or set the Alarm 1 or  
Alarm 2 switches to their “OFF” positions, or use the SNOOZE control,  
the display will return to the ‘Off’ position after 10 seconds.

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 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 screwdriver 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 (1.01), 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 CALENDAR button. If  
the small displays are showing “1.01” and “2005”, 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 19 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 CALENDAR button. The ALARM displays will change to “Month.  
Date” and “Year”.  
• While holding the CALENDAR and TIME buttons, press the SET (Up) button  
to set the ALARM 2 display to the correct year, then release the buttons.  
• While holding the CALENDAR button, press the SET (Up) button to set the  
ALARM 1 display to the correct “Month” and “Date”. When the correct month  
and date appear on the display, release the buttons.  
• The DAY OF WEEK indicator will change automatically as you adjust the “Year”,  
“Month/Date” settings.

4.) Depress the TIME button and the SET (Up) buttons 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.  
5.) 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.
