Chronomatic-112 AM/FM Clock Radio
(120-1499/A)               Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 19730

BEFORE TURNING ON

Set the ON/OFF/AUTO switch to OFF and turn the VOLUME control all the way
down.  Plug your Clock Radio's line cord into a standard household AC power
outlet.

SETTING THE CLOCK

Set to the proper time by adjusting the TIME SET (outer ring of the lower
knob) to the left of the clock.

NOTE:  Turn this knob in a clockwise direction only.

SETTING THE ALARM

Turn the ALARM Set (small lower knob to the left of the clock) to the
desired setting.  The Alarm time indicator just to the left of the clock is
marked at 20-minute intervals (you can set to 10-minute intervals).

LISTENING TO RADIO

Set the AM/FM/FM/ STEREO switch to either AM or FM.  Set the ON/OFF/AUTO
switch to ON.  Adjust the Tuning control to the desired station and set
VOLUME at a reasonable listening level.  Set TONE switch to Hi or Lo for
the most pleasing tone (to emphasize either High or Low tones).  If you are
listening to FM and the STEREO beacon light comes on, it means you are
tuned to a stereo station - in such a case set AM/FM/FM/STEREO switch to
the FM STEREO position and enjoy stereo sound.

SLEEP-TO-MUSIC

Set ON/OFF/AUTO to OFF.  Set SLEEP control to the desired amount of time
(up to 60 minutes) then adjust the radio as described in Listening to
Radio.  The Radio will automatically shut off at the end of the period you
set.

WAKE-TO-MUSIC

Set the ON/OFF/AUTO switch to AUTO.  The radio will come on at the time
you've set on the Alarm.  The Radio will stay on for about 80 minutes and
then automatically turn off.  To turn the Radio off, set ON/OFF/AUTO/ to
OFF.  Set to ON if you want to continue listening to the Radio.

SNOOZE

Want to catch an additional 6 or 7 minutes of sleep after the Radio comes
on?  Just tap the SNOOZE bar on top of the Radio.  The Radio will come back
on in 6 or 7 minutes.  You can repeat the Snooze function for up to sleep
to your favorite station and wake up to it too!

SLEEP-TO-MUSIC AND WAKE-TO-MUSIC

You can use both of these functions together. Just follow the directions
noted under "Wake-to Music" but set SLEEP control for the desired amount of
time.  This way you can go to sleep to your favorite station and wake up to
it too!

PRIVATE LISTENING

You can listen to the Radio without disturbing others; merely plug
headphones into the PHONES jack.  You can use either a pair of stereo
headphones, or a standard pillow-type speaker.  Inserting a plug into this
jack automatically disconnects the internal speakers.

NOTES:  Protect your radio from dust and moisture and do not expose it to
        extreme heat.  Radiators, stoves and heaters may damage the cabinet
        and components.

        Use a soft cloth moistened with water or soap-suds to clean the
        cabinet.  NEVER USE HARSH SOLVENTS.

        Your clock radio is designed for AC operation only

        If your clock radio should require repairs, take it to your nearest
        Radio Shack store.

        For best Stereo FM listening, adjust BALANCE control for the sound
        that gives you best separation and stereo effect.

        If a stereo FM station is weak and/or distant, you may get fluttery
        reception.  In such a case, do not use the FM Stereo position of
        the AM/FM/FM STEREO switch.  You will lose the stereo effect (if
        there is any) but reception will be much less noisy.

        For best FM reception (not stereo), use the FM position only.  If
        you listen to a non-stereo station with the band switch in the FM
        STEREO position, you'll get extra noise.

        You may notice that AM reception is affected by the positioning and
        location of the Radio.  This is normal; move or rotate the Radio
        for best AM reception (especially important for weak/distant
        stations).

If you want the very best FM and FM stereo reception, you should  connect
an external or outdoor FM antenna to the EXT. FM ANT. screw terminals.  You
should realize that to obtain good FM stereo, you need a good strong
signal, thus an external antenna becomes very important if you want good
stereo.  If  stereo reception is 'fluttery' either the station is too weak
and distant, or you need a better antenna.  Your local Radio Shack store
has a nice selection of indoor and outdoor antennas that can be used to
insure good reception.
