The first time you connect your new SmartSet 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 Smart Set will remember the new default zone setting and will always return to that setting after a power interruption.

To change the default time zone display, depress the TIME ZONE button. The number “2” 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 SET + (up) or – (down) 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 available time zones are:

ZONE 1 — Atlantic Time

ZONE 2 — Eastern Time (Default Setting)

ZONE 3 — Central Time

ZONE 4 — Mountain Time

ZONE 5 — Pacific Time

ZONE 6 — Yukon Time

ZONE 7 — Hawaiian Time

To manually adjust the time display depress and hold the TIME button, and press either the SET + or – buttons to adjust the time display ahead or back as desired.

Each press of the SET + or – buttons will change the display by one minute. If you hold the 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 SmartSet memory. If the power is interrupted, the display will return to your new setting, not the original setting, when the power is restored.

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). When you release the MONTH/DATE button the display returns to the correct time.

Year Display: To see the correct year, depress the MONTH/DATE and TIME buttons together. The display changes from time to year. When you release the buttons the display returns to the correct time.

‘Day of Week’ Display:

If the radio or buzzer is ‘Off ‘, to view the correct ‘Day of Week’, depress the WEEK button. The display will change from Time to “Day of Week”. When you release the WEEK button the display returns to the correct Time.

If the radio or buzzer is ‘On’, to view the correct ‘Day of Week’, press the RADIO ON/OFF Button first to stop the radio or buzzer, then depress the WEEK button, display will change from Time to ‘Day of Week’. When you release the WEEK button the display returns to the correct Time.

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 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”.

Your SmartSet clock radio allows you to select from among three different alarm operation modes for either alarm. The alarm modes are:

When the battery power drops below a certain level, the LOW BATT. indicator will ‘Flash’. To change the battery:

2. IMPORTANT: Leave the AC adapter 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 face up and use a small screw driver to remove the screw securing the battery holder to the cabinet.

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 LOW BATT indicator is ‘Off’.

WARNING: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.

If the lithium battery is exhausted or disconnected during a power interruption, the SmartSet memory will be lost. The initial default setting is “12:00 AM, Sunday, January 1st (1. 1), 2017”. If you see “12:00” flashing or the wrong date, and the DAY OF WEEK is wrong, proceed as follows:

1. Follow instructions to install a new CR2032 lithium battery.

2. Connect the radio to your AC outlet.

After resetting the clock, don’t forget to reset your wake up times, alarm mode settings, and sleep timer settings.

Care Of Cabinets: If the cabinet becomes dusty, wipe it with a soft cloth. If the cabinet becomes smudged or dirty, clean it with a soft, slightly dampened cloth. Never allow water or any liquid to get inside the cabinet. Never use any abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads as these will damage the finish of your radio.

Lithium Battery Precautions:

Dispose of the old battery properly. Do not leave it lying around where a young child or pet could play with, or swallow it. If the battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately.

Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not attempt to recharge it or disassemble it. Do not dispose of the old battery in a fire.
