USING THE CLOCK RADIO


This unit has two clocks.  We recommend you set the primary clock for
local time and the secondary clock for UTC (Universal Time Coordinate --
formerly called Greenwich Mean Time) because most shortwave stations
announce broadcast times in UTC.

The time zone map on the back of the receiver shows the difference in
hours between UTC and each time zone.  To determine your local time, add
or subtract the specified number from UTC time.  During Daylight Saving
Time, subtract one more hour.

SETTING THE CLOCKS

1.  Repeatedly press the right DUAL TIME button to select the clock you
    want to set.  2 appears when the secondary clock is selected and
    disappears when the primary clock is selected.

2.  Press TIME SET.  TIME SET flashes on the display.

3.  While TIME SET flashes, set the correct time by pressing the number
    buttons.  Do not precede single-digit hours with a 0.  For example,
    enter 930 for 9:30.  If you make a mistake,  press C (cancel) to
    erase the last digit.

    NOTE:  If you wait more than 15 seconds to press a button, TIME SET
           stops flashing and you must begin again at Step 2.

4.  Press ENTER.


RECORDING FROM THE RADIO USING THE STANDBY FEATURE

This feature lets you record your favorite program at a preset time.

1.  Turn on the receiver and tune to the desired station.

2.  Turn off the receiver.

3.  Set STANDBY REC to ON.

4.  Press RECORD.

    NOTE:  Be sure the clock display is set to show the desired clock
           when the alarm time arrives.

5.  Set STANDBY BUZZER/RADIO to RADIO.

6.  While STANDBY flashes, enter the starting time of the program you
    want to record.  Then press ENTER.  STANDBY appears.

7.  Load a tape with adequate length for the period you are going to
    record.  For instance, load a C-60 tape for recording a 30-minute
    program.

8.  Set TAPE SELECT to either CrO2 or NORMAL, according to the type of
    tape you loaded.

9.  Press RECORD (PLAY automatically goes down).  The radio turns on at
    the preset time and the recorder starts recording.  The tape stops
    automatically at the end of the tape, but the radio keeps playing at
    a low volume until you turn it off.
