Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Timex Dual Alarm Clock Radio with Redi-Set Automatic Time Setting System. The clock in this
model will set itself to the correct year, month, date, day, and time, the first time you plug it in, and after every power
interruption. The default setting is the Eastern Time zone. All you need do is set it to your own time zone once, and you may
never have to adjust it again. Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time adjustments are made automatically, through the year
2099. This model is truly the cure for the annoying “flashing 12:00” display.
This model includes a programmable dual alarm system that allows you to set one or both alarms for weekdays only,
weekends only, or everyday operation. And you can have one alarm wake you to the buzzer while the second alarm wakes
you to your favorite radio station. There is also a removable, rechargeable flashlight, a time projector, and soothing nature
sounds.
And the Sure-Alarm battery back up system will operate the buzzer alarm to wake you up even if the power is off at the
wake-up time. Best of all, with Xtreme Battery Back Up (XBBU) system the long life 3-volt lithium battery that is pre-installed
in your unit will last for 5 to 8 years before it needs to be replaced………a major money-saver compared to buying new 9-volt
batteries every 6 months. And when the 3-volt lithium battery finally does need to be replaced, a low battery indicator begins
flashing in the display.
Please read this manual completely to understand all of the great features included in your model. Please retain this manual
for future reference, and because the warranty and product service info are printed at the end of this manual.
Preparation For Use
Unpacking And Set Up
•
Remove the radio and rechargeable flashlight from the carton and remove all packing materials from the radio. We
recommend that, if possible, you save the carton and packing materials in case your radio ever needs to be returned for
service. Using the original carton and packing material is the best way to protect your radio from damage in transit. If you
do dispose of the carton and packing material, please do so properly. Timex cares about our environment.
Place the radio on a stable, level surface convenient to an AC outlet, and away from direct sunlight or sources of excess
heat, dust, moisture, or humidity.
•
•
Place the flashlight in the charging cradle on the top cabinet. Push the back end of the flashlight against the charging
contacts until the front of the flashlight is resting against the flashlight retaining tab.
(Flashlight Retaining Tab)
•
Unwind the external FM antenna on the back cabinet and extend it to its full length for best FM reception.

Preparation For Use
IMPORTANT! Protect Your Furniture
This radio is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the radio from moving when you operate the controls. These
‘feet’ are made from special non-migrating rubber material 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 react with the rubber ‘feet’,
causing the rubber material to soften and leave marks or a rubber residue on wooden furniture. If you will be placing this radio
on fine wooden furniture we strongly recommend that you place a small cloth between the radio and your furniture, or that
you apply small felt pads on the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’.
Power Source
This radio is designed to operate on normal 120V 60Hz AC power only. Do not attempt to
operate this radio on any other power source. You could cause damage to the radio and such
damage 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
installed lithium battery takes over to maintain the time and alarm settings, and to operate the
buzzer alarm if the power is ‘Off’ at the wake up time. To maximize the life of the lithium
battery keep the radio connected to a ‘live’ AC outlet at all times.
AC Outlet
This radio is equipped with a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade.
This is a safety feature designed to minimize the chance of electric shock. If this plug will not
fit into your existing AC outlet do not try to force it and do not try to file the wider blade to
make it fit. Contact a qualified, licensed electrician to replace your outdated outlet.
AC Plug
Sure Alarm Battery Back-Up System
This Timex Redi-Set Clock Radio includes a Sure-Alarm battery back-up circuit that will wake-you up even if the power is ‘off’
at the selected wake-up time. If your power is ‘off’ at the 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 selected the Wake To Radio
option.
The Sure-Alarm buzzer will sound for 3 minutes and then shut off automatically.
To stop the Sure-Alarm buzzer immediately, press the RADIO ON/OFF button. 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 buzzer from turning ‘On’ unnecessarily.

Operating Instructions
Setting The Time, The First Time
IMPORTANT: The first time you connect your Redi-Set 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 begin a countdown sequence (5-4-3-2-1) then the correct year will flash twice, the correct Month/Date will
flash twice, and then the correct Eastern Time will be displayed. If you live in the Eastern Time Zone there is nothing else to
do. Your Redi-Set 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 Redi-Set internal computer 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 Redi-Set clock radio.
ZONE 01 – Atlantic Time
ZONE 02 – Eastern Time (Default Setting)
ZONE 03 – Central Time
ZONE 04 – Mountain Time
ZONE 05 – Pacific Time
ZONE 06 – Alaskan Time
ZONE 07 – Hawaiian Time
To change the default time zone, depress the TIME ZONE button. The number “02” will appear
in the display indicating that the default zone is ZONE 02, Eastern Time.

Operating Instructions
Hold the TIME ZONE button and press either the SET “+” or “ – “ buttons until your own zone number appears in 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 Redi-Set internal
computer will remember that setting for you.
Date Display
To see the correct date at any time, depress the MONTH/DATE button. The display changes from
Time to Month and Date (MM/DD).
For example, October 9th will be displayed as 10. 9.
Year Display
To see the correct year, depress the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons together.
The display changes from Time to Year.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) and Leap Year Adjustments
All Daylight Saving Time and Leap Year adjustments are made automatically by the Redi-Set 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 in a Leap Year the calendar display will automatically change to “2.29”.
Note: If you live in an area that does not observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) you may disable the automatic Daylight Saving
Time (DST) feature. Depress and hold the TIME ZONE button for 10 seconds. The display will briefly show “OFF” and then
return to the correct time. The automatic DST feature is now disabled and the time will not change automatically from
Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time. Repeat this procedure again to re-enable the automatic DST feature. After holding
the TIME ZONE button for 10 seconds the display will briefly show “ON” and then return to the correct time. The automatic
DST feature is now re-enabled.
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
Redi-Set internal computer sets the time automatically, 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 “ – “ buttons to adjust
the time display back or forward as desired.
Each press of the SET “+” or “ – “ buttons will change the display by one minute. If you hold SET “+” or “ – “ 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 “ – “ buttons, the display will change rapidly.
Note: If you manually adjust the time your new setting is entered into the Redi-Set internal computer as the new default time
setting. 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 Redi-Set 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 initial default setting for Alarm 1 is 6:00 AM. The initial default setting for Alarm 2 is 7:00 AM.
The procedure for adjusting the wake-up times is the same for both Alarm 1 and Alarm 2.
1. Depress and hold either the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 Setting Button. The display will change
from the correct time to the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 default wake up time.

buttons to move the display back or forward to your desired wake-up time.
3. When the desired wake-up time appears on the display, release the SET “+” or “ – “ buttons.
Note: Be sure that you have set the wake-up time correctly by observing the AM indicator. If the AM indicator appears
the wake-up time is “AM”. If the AM indicator does not appear, the wake-up time is “PM”.
4. When the desired wake-up time (AM or PM) appears on the display, release the ALARM 1 or ALARM 2 setting buttons.

Your Redi-Set clock radio allows you to select from among three different alarm operation modes for either alarm. The alarm modes are:
•
•
•
Everyday – the alarm will turn on all 7 days.
Weekdays only – the alarm will only turn on Monday through Friday.
Weekends only – the alarm will only turn on Saturday and Sunday.
To check the Alarm Mode setting for Alarm 1, depress the ALARM 1 setting button. The display
will show the Alarm 1 wake-up time and the Day indicators will show you the alarm mode that is
selected.
•
If all 7 Day indicators are ‘On’, the Everyday alarm mode is selected.
•
If only the MON (Monday) through FRI (Friday) indicators are ‘On’, the Weekdays only mode is
selected.

Resetting The Clock After a Total Memory Loss
If you experience a power failure with an exhausted back-up battery in the radio, all of the time and alarm settings may be
lost. In this case the clock will reset itself to its initial default settings when power is restored. If you notice that the time on the
display is incorrect, press the M/D (MONTH/DATE) button to check the calendar setting. If the Month and Date are also
incorrect 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 12 and install a fresh CR2450 lithium back-up battery.
2. Connect the radio to the AC outlet and wait until the time is displayed.
3. Press the M/D (MONTH/DATE) and TIME buttons together to display the Year. While holding the MONTH/DATE and
TIME buttons press the SET “+” or “ – ” buttons to adjust the Year display.
4. Press the M/D (MONTH/DATE) button to display the Month and Date. While holding the M/D (MONTH/DATE) button
press the SET “+” or “ – ” buttons to adjust the Month/Date display. The Day indicator will change according to the
Month/Date selected.
5. Depress the TIME button and the SET “+” or “ – ” buttons to adjust the time display. Be sure to observe the AM indicator
to confirm that you have set the time correctly. If the AM indicator does not appear the time displayed is “PM”.
6. After you have reset the Year, Month/Date, and Time displays, check your alarm time and alarm mode settings and adjust
as required.
