SONY DREAM MACHINE ICF-C25 (01) PDF Document

The SONY DREAM MACHINE ICF-C25 features a full power back-up function to keep the clock, the alarm (radio and buzzer), and the radio operating during a power interruption, using a 6F22 battery (not supplied).

To keep good time, your SONY DREAM MACHINE ICF-C25 needs one 6F22 battery (not supplied), in addition to house current. To install:

1. Open the lid at the bottom of the unit.

2. Install the battery with correct polarity.

3. Close the lid.

After a power interruption, the displayed time may not always be correct (It may gain or lose about 10 minutes per hour).

To check battery power, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet and plug it in again after a few minutes. If the displayed time is incorrect, replace the battery with a new one.

1. Plug in the unit. The display will flash AM 12:00.

2. To set the hour, while holding down the CLOCK button, press the TIME SET H button. When the correct hour appears in the display, release the CLOCK button.

3. To set the minute, while holding down the CLOCK button, press the TIME SET M button. When the correct minute appears in the display, release the CLOCK button. The clock will begin to operate.

Note: Each press on the TIME SET H or TIME SET M button advances the displayed number by one. The minute digits advance to “00” after “59”. The hour digits do not advance by pressing the TIME SET M button. To adjust the time exactly to the second, release the TIME SET M button simultaneously with the radio or telephone time signal.

1. Set the ALARM selector to RADIO ON to turn on the radio and adjust VOL (volume).

2. Select FM or AM and tune in a station using the TUNING dial.

To turn off the radio, set the ALARM selector to OFF.

FM: Since the antenna is encased in the AC power cord, extend the cord to improve FM reception.

AM: Rotate the unit horizontally for optimum reception. A ferrite bar antenna is built into the unit.

To set the radio alarm, first tune in a station and adjust the volume.

1. To set the hour for alarm, while holding down the ALARM button, press the TIME SET H button. When the desired hour appears in the display, release the ALARM button.

2. To set the minute for alarm, while holding down the ALARM button, press the TIME SET M button. When the desired minute appears in the display, release the ALARM button.

3. Set the ALARM selector to RADIO or BUZZER.

The alarm will come on at the preset time and automatically turn itself off after 119 minutes.

To shut off the alarm: Set the ALARM selector to OFF. To sound the alarm at the preset time the next day, set the ALARM selector to RADIO or BUZZER again.

To cancel either alarm: Set the ALARM selector to OFF.

To doze a few more minutes: Press SNOOZE/SLEEP OFF. The alarm will shut off, but will come on again after about 9 minutes. You can repeat this process as many times as you like.

To adjust volume: Turn VOL to adjust the radio alarm volume. The buzzer volume is fixed.

To check preset time: Press the ALARM button.

You can enjoy falling asleep to the radio using the built-in sleep timer that shuts off the radio automatically at a preset time.

1. While listening to the radio, set the ALARM selector to OFF.

2. Press SLEEP. The radio turns on. It will go off after 59 minutes.

To turn off the radio before the preset time, press SNOOZE/SLEEP OFF.

Every time you press SLEEP, the sleep timer is reset to 59 minutes.

When you set the ALARM selector to RADIO or BUZZER, if the preset alarm time comes while the sleep timer is operating, the radio or buzzer sounds depending on which you set.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

Operate the unit on the power sources specified in “Specifications”.

To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by the plug, not by the cord.

Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that block the ventilation holes.

Should anything fall into the unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

To clean the casing, use a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution.

When the unit will be left unplugged for a long time, remove the battery to avoid undue battery discharge and damage to the unit from battery leakage.
