When the batteries are first installed, the unit will automatically  
search for a radio signal.  
To deactivate the auto-reception of RF signal, press and hold the  
ZONE button for 2 seconds. The antenna icon will disappear to  
show this deactivation.  
When in search mode, the antenna icon [  
] will blink. This  
process takes between two (2) and ten (10) minutes. After initial  
search, short periodic reception-signal scans will commence several  
times a day.  
To activate the auto-reception again, press and hold the [  
button for 2 seconds again and the antenna icon will re-appear.

PRECAUTIONS  
This unit is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if  
you handle it carefully. Here are a few precautions.  
ALARM AND SNOOZE FUNCTION  
1. Do not immerse the unit in water. If you spill liquid over it, dry  
it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.  
When the alarm is set, it will activate at the set time. The back light  
will go on for five seconds and the alarm-on icon [  
] will flash.  
2. Do not clean the unit with any alcohol containing detergent,  
abrasive or corrosive materials. They may scratch the plastic  
parts and corrode the electronic circuit.  
The crescendo function allows the alarm to start gently and step up  
its intensity in three steps. Without interruption, the alarm will  
activate for 2 minutes.  
3. Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust,  
temperature or humidity, which may result in malfunction,  
shorter electronic life span, damaged battery and distorted  
parts.  
To stop the alarm, press ALARM button. If the  
[
] button is pressed, the snooze function  
will be triggered. The alarm will stop for eight minutes before  
activating again.  
4. Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components. Doing so  
will invalidate the warranty on the unit and may cause  
unnecessary damage. The unit contains no user-serviceable  
parts.  
INDOOR TEMPERATURE  
The temperature is shown in Fahrenheit (°F). The unit is capable of  
measuring temperatures within the 23°F and 122°F range. If the  
temperature goes above or below that, the display will show “HHH”  
orLLL”.  
5. Only use fresh batteries as specified in the user’s instructions.  
Do not mix new and old batteries as the old ones may leak.  
6. Always read the user’s instructions thoroughly before operating  
the unit.  
HOW TO RESET THE UNIT  
The RESET button allows you to return all settings to its factory  
values.  
The button is required only when the unit is not operating in a  
favorable way, such as in the rare case of a malfunction.
