SAFETY AND CARE  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
GETTING STARTED  
HOW YOUR CLOCK WORKS WITH THE  
NIGHTLIGHT - OVERVIEW  
Please observe the following safety precautions when  
setting up and using this product.  
The clock can be set independently to give you  
time, calendar and alarm facilities.  
LCD panel - The LCD panel is made of glass, and  
may break if the unit is dropped.  
The nightlight can be set independently to light up  
in the dark so you can see where you are going.  
Heat sources - Keep the product away from heat  
sources, such as radiators, stoves, heaters, and  
other heat-generating products.  
The clock and nightlight can also be used together  
to turn the clock backlight on when you walk into a  
dark room, or wave your arm from the comfort of  
your bed. It can do this because the nightlight has  
2 types of sensor. One sensor responds to light  
and the other responds to movement. From the  
clock unit you can set these sensors to be active  
during a certain period of time.  
Water and moisture - Do not use the product in or  
near water or in high moisture areas, such as a  
bathroom.  
Power source - The product may be susceptible to  
power surges. It should be unplugged during severe  
storms or whenever you will be away for a long  
time. Only use the type of power source specified  
in this manual. Do not overload power strips and  
extension cords, as this can cause a fire hazard.  
PACKAGE CONTENTS  
When you unpack your clock with remote nightlight,  
make sure you keep all the packing materials in a safe  
place, in case you need to later transport the device or  
return it for servicing.

ABOUT ATOMIC CLOCK RECEPTION
