Mounting Procedure  
1. If your cabinet does not have an  
EN  
EN  
overhang:  
(a) Position Template in desired location on  
underside of cabinet, flush with front  
edge.  
(b) Then tape Template in place, and go to  
Step 2 (Read “Caution”).  
If your cabinet has glue blocks or other  
obstructions, cut out corresponding areas  
on the Template to clear them. Do not cut  
out or cut through the screw holes  
indicated on the Template.  
On wooden cabinets you may want to mark  
and start the drill holes with a nail or an  
awl.  
Be sure to hold the drill very firmly against  
the cabinet to reduce “walking” of the drill  
bit from the markings.  
Use masking tape above the hole locations  
on inside of wooden cabinet shelf to help  
reduce splintering.  
MEASURE THICKNESS OF  
CABINET OVERHANG  
If installing the unit under a wood cabinet,  
you may wish to countersink the drilled hole  
from the INSIDE of the cabinet if a  
countersink attachment for your drill is  
available. This will eliminate the use of  
washers and allow the screw heads to be  
flush with the floor of your cabinet. If you  
cannot countersink the holes, use the  
supplied washers.  
It is recommended that safety glasses be  
worn while drilling screw holes to prevent  
the possibility of eye injury.

2. Drill /4 -inch diameter holes through the  
underside of the cabinet bottom shelf using  
the 3 points marked on the Template.

OF CABINET  
MOUNTING  
TEMPLATE  
3. Remove Template and clean drill shavings  
from inside and underside of cabinet.  
4. If your cabinet does not have an  
overhang, go to Step 5.  
If your cabinet has an overhang:  
(a) Measure the thickness of the overhang.  
(b) Fold front of Template downward along  
the printed guideline that is closest to  
the thickness of your cabinet.  
(c) Tape fold-down portion to backside of  
overhang, Tape Template to cabinet  
underside.  
FOLD TEMPLATE ON  
DOTTED LINE  
If your cabinet has an overhang, select  
the spacer or combination of spacers that is  
equal to or longer than the cabinet overhang.

Before Plug-In  
Battery Backup Operation  
This clock radio is equipped with a memory  
holding system that can be powered with 2  
“AAA” batteries (included). The power failure  
protection circuit will not operate unless battery  
is installed.  
Installing Back up Battery:  
1. The compartment door is located at the side  
of the Spacemaker.  
U.S. Time Zone (Figure 1)  
EN  
EN  
When normal household power is interrupted, or  
AC line cord is unplugged, the batteries will  
power the Spacemaker to keep track of time and  
timer setting programmed into memory. When  
the battery backup functions, the digital display  
will not light. Normal operation will resume  
after AC power is restored so you will not have  
to reset the time.  
Rotate the lock in the direction of the  
arrow until it is released. Remove the  
compartment door.  
2. Before inserting the batteries, observe the  
polarities (that is, + and -) of the batteries,  
then relate the polarities to the engraved  
diagram inside the battery compartment.  
Now insert the batteries.  
3. Replace the battery compartment door. Lock  
the door in place by pushing down on the  
lock and rotating it in the opposite direction  
(counterclockwise).  
Power Failure Indicator  
The display blinks when AC power is interrupted  
for more than 2 seconds. You need to reset the  
clock time to stop the display from blink.

Using the Countertop Light  
Troubleshooting Tips  
The countertop light switch is located on the side  
of the unit, and has three settings: HI, LO, and  
OFF.  
Are you pointing the remote control directly  
at the unit while pressing the buttons?  
You should be, because the remote control  
sensor at the unit is right at the center of the  
display.  
Remote Control  
EN  
EN  
Is the unit plugged into a working AC outlet?  
Try plugging it into one that you know will  
work.  
Is the unit on?  
Press RADIO ON / BAND or PLAY PAUSE  
to turn the unit on.  
Are you too far from the unit when using the  
remote control?  
The remote control sensor can only sense  
signals (from the remote control) within a  
limited distance. So move closer towards the  
unit.  
Have you selected the correct function when  
pressing on the buttons?  
For dimmer light, move the light switch to the  
LO position.  
For example, if the unit is in CD mode and  
you try tuning to a particular radio frequency,  
the remote control is not going to look like  
it’s working. In such cases, press RADIO ON /  
BAND to select radio or PLAY PAUSE to  
select CD function first, then press on the  
buttons.  
For more illumination, switch to HI.  
To turn the light off, place Light switch to OFF.  
Are there any obstacles between the remote  
control and the unit?  
If there are, move all objects standing in the  
way between the remote control and the  
unit.  
Replacing the Bulb  
1. Unplug the unit cord from the AC power  
outlet.  
2. Unlatch the cover to open it.  
3. Unscrew and remove the bulb.  
4. Install the replacement bulb.  
5. Swing the cover up and snap it in place.  
6. Plug the cord into the AC outlet, and reset the  
clock.  
Are the batteries weak?  
Try replacing old batteries with some fresh  
ones.
