    and press FWD SLOW or FWD FAST.

    The set alarm time shows when you press and hold down ALARM 1 SET or

Turning the Alarms On/Off

To turn on an alarm:

1.  Set OFF/AUTO/ALARM 1 and OFF/AUTO/ALARM 2 as follows:

    ALARM - the buzzer sounds at the preset alarm time.

     AUTO - the radio sounds or the tape player plays at the preset alarm
            time.

    The ALARM 1 or 2 indicator lights when you set OFF/AUTO/ALARM 1 or OFF/
    AUTO/ALARM 2 to ALARM.

2.  If you set OFF/AUTO/ALARM 1 or OFF/AUTO/ALARM 2 to AUTO, you must also
    set POWER on the right side of the Chronomatic-309 as follows:

             RADIO - the radio turns on at the preset alarm time.

    TAPE/RADIO OFF - the tape plays at the preset alarm time.

    NOTES:  If you select AUTO, adjust the volume to a level that will wake
            you. See "Playing the Radio."

            If you set POWER to TAPE/RADIO OFF, you must also load a
            cassette in the compartment and press PLAY. See "Playing a
            Cassette Tape."

            If you set the tape player to play for both alarms and the tape
            is not rewound, it begins playing from the point where the
            previous alarm stopped.

At the preset alarm time, the buzzer, radio, or tape player sounds for 59 
minutes, then automatically turns off.

NOTE:  The tape player automatically stops when the tape reaches the end,
       even if this is before 59 minutes pass.

To silence the alarm:

         Buzzer - set OFF/AUTO/ALARM to OFF, then back to ALARM.

          Radio - press RADIO OFF.

    Tape Player - press RADIO OFF. 

To turn off the alarm so it will not sound every 24 hours, set
OFF/AUTO/ALARM to OFF.

USING THE SNOOZE FEATURE

To temporarily silence the buzzer, radio, or tape player so it sounds again
after 7 minutes, press SNOOZE.

USING THE SLEEP TIMER

You can set the radio or the tape player to play for up to 59 minutes and 
then automatically turn off.

1.  Set POWER to RADIO or TAPE/RADIO OFF.

2.  Press RADIO ON.

3.  If you set POWER to TAPE/RADIO OFF, load a cassette tape.

4.  Set OFF/AUTO/ALARM for each alarm you want to use to AUTO.

5.  To set the playing time for 59 minutes, press SLEEP once. The radio
    plays for 59 minutes, then it turns off.

    To set the playing time for less than 59 minutes, press and hold down 
    SLEEP. While holding down SLEEP, repeatedly press FWD FAST or FWD SLOW
    to set the desired playing time.

6.  If you set POWER to TAPE/RADIO OFF, press PLAY. The cassette plays for
    the set time period then automatically turns off.

NOTE:  If the cassette reaches the end, the Chronomatic-309 automatically 
       stops playing and releases the tape-handling parts.

To manually stop the cassette, press STOP/EJECT.
