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 giant SNOOZE bar that you can tap for an extra 9 minutes
sleep after the alarm goes off in the morning. 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 sensitive AM/FM
stereo radio and high fidelity speakers provide such full, rich sound that you won’t
believe you’re listening to a table-top radio.
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 Buzzer alarm even if the power is ‘Off’ at your wake up time.
The Sure Alarm circuit requires a 9-Volt battery, not included.
The time 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.
• 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 and alarm 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. If the AC power is off at the wake up time, the alarm will not
operate. However if the AC power is restored within one hour of the wake up time
the alarm will come on immediately.
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 MUSIC
mode, even if the power is ‘Off’ at the selected wake-up time.

Low Battery Indicator
Note: 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 31, 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

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.

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 first Sunday in April, the clock will automatically
advance to “3:00 AM”.
• End of Daylight Saving Time:
At “3:00 AM” on the last Sunday in October, 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”.
Important Daylight Saving Time Information
As a result of the new Energy Bill that was passed by Congress in August of 2005,
Daylight Saving Time is scheduled to be extended starting in 2007. This SmartSet®
Clock Radio has been programmed to adjust itself automatically for Daylight Saving
Time through 2006. We have also provided instructions to allow you to change
the Daylight Saving starting and ending dates for 2007 and beyond. You only need
to make this adjustment once and then this clock radio will automatically adjust
itself for the new Daylight Saving Time through the year 2099.
The instructions for adjusting the Daylight Saving starting and ending dates will be
found on a separate addendum sheet included with this Instruction Manual.

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 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 “
” 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 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 pages 31-32 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.
33

14/3/2006, 11:32
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.
