Thank You…………  
For purchasing this Emerson Research Stereo CD Clock Radio with the patented  
SmartSet® automatic time setting system. As soon as you plug-in your radio for  
the first time, and after every power interruption, the clock will automatically set  
itself to the correct, year, month, date, day, and time. It will also automatically  
adjust itself for all Daylight Saving Time changes, through the year 2099.  
There are dual alarms that can be set and used independently. The alarms can be  
set for weekdays only, weekends only or everyday operation. You can wake to an  
electronic buzzer tone, your favorite AM or FM station or a specific track on your  
favorite CD. There’s a programmable 99-minute sleep timer that allows you to fall  
asleep to up to 99 minutes of music and then shuts the power off automatically.  
A programmable 99-minute nap timer lets you wake up after a nap without disturbing  
your normal alarm settings.  
The CD player has a 20-track programmable memory and repeat playback. It will  
also play CD-R and CD-RW discs in addition to normal CDs. The digital tuning  
stereo receiver locks in your favorite stations perfectly and stores up to 20 stations  
(10 AM and 10 FM) in memory for immediate recall.  
This model also includes a dual battery back up system. There’s a built in CR2430  
lithium battery that will maintain the time and alarm settings for up to 5 years or  
longer, depending on the frequency and length of the power interruptions you  
experience in your home. We’ve also provided a SureAlarm battery back up system  
that will activate the alarm even if the power of off at your wake up time. The Sure  
Alarm circuit requires a 9-Volt battery, not included.  
The time, radio frequency, and CD track number all appear on a large super bright  
LED display that is easily readable from anywhere in your room. And of course  
we’ve included a dimmer switch in case you want to reduce the display brightness  
for sleeping.  
With so many useful features packed into such a compact unit it’s imperative that  
you read this Owner’s Manual carefully and completely.

PREPARATION FOR USE  
Unpacking and Set-up  
• Remove the unit from the shipping carton and remove all packing material  
from the unit. Please save the carton and packing material if possible in the  
event that your unit ever needs to be returned for service. Using the original  
carton and packing materials is the only way to protect your unit from damage  
in transit.  
• Carefully remove any small strips of tape that may have been used to keep the  
CD door closed during shipment.  
• Press on the CD door in the area marked OPEN/CLOSE to open the door.  
Inside the CD compartment you will see a white “dummy CD” transit protection  
card. This card prevents the laser pick-up from moving during shipment and it  
must be removed before you can load your own CDs. Carefully remove this  
transit protection card and discard it.  
• Note the serial number on the bottom of your CD clock radio and write this  
number in the space provided on Warranty page of this manual.  
• Place the unit on a stable, level surface such as a table, desk, shelf, stand, etc,  
out of direct sunlight and away from sources of excess heat, dust, vibration,  
moisture, or humidity, and convenient to a 120V 60Hz AC outlet.  
• Unwind the AC power cord and extend it to its full length. This is important. The  
FM antenna is built into the AC power cord.  
Battery Back-up Systems  
This model has two separate battery back up systems. There is a built in 3-Volt  
CR2430 long life lithium battery that will maintain the clock settings, the alarm  
settings and the tuner preset memory settings. The lithium battery may last for up  
to five years or even longer, depending on the frequency and length of the power  
interruptions that you experience in your home. If AC power is interrupted the  
display will go off but the lithium battery will continue to power the clock. When AC  
power is restored the display comes on again and all your settings are correct.  
We have also provided a separate Sure-Alarm battery back up circuit that requires  
a 9-Volt battery, not included.  
If you install a 9-Volt battery, the buzzer alarm will operate in BUZZER or RADIO  
mode, even if the power is off at the selected wake-up time.

Low Battery Indicator  
The Low Battery indicator “  
” only appears in the main display when the  
unit is in the power ‘Off’ mode.  
• If you install a 9-Volt battery in the Sure  
Alarm circuit as described above, the  
Low Battery indicator disappears.  
• If the Low Battery indicator remains ‘On’,  
this indicates that either you have not  
installed the 9-Volt battery, or that the  
9-Volt battery is exhausted and needs  
to be replaced.  
• If the Low Battery indicator flashes, this  
indicates that the 3-Volt lithium battery  
is getting weak and should be replaced  
as soon as possible.  
Instructions for changing the lithium battery will be found on page 32 of this manual.

Power Source  
This system is designed to operate on 120V AC 60Hz house current only.  
Connecting this system to any other power source may cause damage to the  
system and such damage is not covered by your warranty.  
NOTE: The system has a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow  
blade. The plug will only fit into matching polarized AC outlets.  
This is a safety feature to reduce the  
possibility of electric shock. If the plug will  
not fit in yourAC outlet, you probably have  
an outdated non-polarized outlet. You  
should have your outdated outlet changed  
by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not  
file the wide blade on the plug, or use an  
adapter to make the plug fit into your  
AC Outlet  
outlet. This defeats the safety feature and  
AC Plug  
could expose you to electric shock.  
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.

Setting The Time, The First Time  
IMPORTANT: The first time you connect your new SmartSet® CD 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 “02” 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  
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.

change slowly at first, one minute at a time. But if you continue holding the  
buttons the display will change rapidly.  
or  
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

Playing Compact Discs  
Important:  
This CD player can play normal CDs plus CD Recordable (CD-R) and CD  
ReWritable (CD-RW) discs. However the playability of CD-R/RW discs may  
be affected by the type of software that was used in ‘ripping’ the tracks from  
the original discs and ‘burning’ the tracks onto the blank media. Playability  
may also be affected by the quality and condition of the blank media you use  
for recording. 100% compatibility cannot be guaranteed. This is not an  
indication of any problems with your player.  
1.) Press the POWER ON/OFF button to switch the unit ‘On’. If you were previously  
listening to the radio the unit will return to the last station that was tuned before  
the power was switched off.

PHONES (Stereo Headphone) Jack  
This system includes a stereo headphone jack for private listening without disturbing  
others. The headphone jack is located on the right side of the cabinet. The built in  
speakers automatically shut off when headphones are connected to the headphone  
jack.  
Important: Before connecting your headphones, set the VOLUME control to  
a low level. Then connect your headphones, put them on and gradually increase  
the volume to a comfortable listening level. Remember that CDs can often  
contain very loud passages as well as softer passages. It is a good idea to  
adjust the listening level during a louder passage so that you are not surprised  
by a sudden, uncomfortable increase in the headphone sound.

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 “  
” 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 upside down and use a small screwdriver to remove the two  
screws securing the battery holder to the cabinet.  
BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE THESE SMALL SCREWS!  
32  
CKD5811_080306.p65  
32  
3/8/2006, 11:01  
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 screws that secure the battery holder in the cabinet.  
6.) Turn the radio right side up and confirm that the “  
” indicator is no  
longer ‘flashing’ or ‘Off’ if you also have installed a 9V battery.  
7.) 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 “  
” 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 (1.01), 2005”.  
If you notice that the time on your SmartSet® clock radio is completely incorrect,  
and the day indicator is also wrong, press the MONTH/DATE button to see the  
date. If the date display is showing “1.01” (January 1st), 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 32-33 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  
button to  
set the display to the correct year if necessary, 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  
button to set the 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.  
34  
CKD5811_080306.p65  
34  
3/8/2006, 11:01  
5.) Depress the TIME button and the  
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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Compact Disc Care  
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift  
the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.  
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface  
with a soft cloth.Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves  
to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should  
remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of  
the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on  
reproduction quality.  
• Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents  
or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.  
• Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.

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.
