(120-1455)                 Operation                  Faxback Doc. # 18916

1.  Connect the line cord to an AC 120 Volt, 60 Hz outlet.

2.  Pull and turn the Time Adjust knob (on the back) and set the electric
    clock to the correct time.

3.  The Clock Switch has 4 positions: "OFF", "ON", "AUTO" and "ALARM". 
     "OFF" position - only clock operates

      "ON" position - clock and Radio operate 

    "AUTO" position - before retiring, tune in your favorite station and
                      adjust the volume control to a suitable listening
                      level.  To set the alarm, push in the Time.  Adjust
                      knob on the back of the cabinet, turn it clockwise
                      until the hand points to the time you wish to wake 
                      up.  Switch to AUTO.  The radio will automatically go
                      on the time shown by the alarm hand. 
 
   "ALARM" position - if you wish to wake to music and buzzer, set Clock
                      Switch to Alarm position.  The buzzer will sound
                      approximately 10 minutes after the radio comes on. 
                      Set to "ON" position to turn buzzer off and keep
                      radio on; set to "OFF" position to turn off both
                      radio and buzzer.

4.  To catch a few extra winks after the alarm has sounded, press the
    Snooze Button on top of the radio.  This will turn the alarm off; it
    will sound again in about 10 minutes.  You can repeat this as often as
    you wish.  To silence the Alarm, set Clock Switch to "off" or "on"
    positions.

5.  To go to sleep to music, set Clock Switch "off".  Adjust Sleep Timer 
    Control for the length of time you want the radio to play (0 to 60 
    minutes).  After this period of time, the radio will automatically go
    off.  This can be used in conjunction with this Auto function as above:
    thus, you can go to sleep with music and be awakened to music- all
    automatically, as controlled by the clock! 

6.  Listening to the Radio.

    To turn the radio on, turn Clock Switch to ON position.  Set the Band
    Selector Switch to AM or FM.  Turn Tuning knob until pointer on side
    rule dial is set to the station of your choice.  Adjust Volume for
    desired listening level.  Your set is equipped with an AM antenna built
    into the line cord.  Be sure to uncoil the cord completely to insure
    peak performance.  To shut radio off, turn the Clock switch to OFF
    position.  Be sure the Sleep Timer Control is set maximum
    counterclockwise, pointing past "0". 

7.  To receive the latest weather information, press the WX switch on the 
    top and adjust Weather Fine Tuning for best signal strength.  The 
    Weather Radio will function in any position of the Clock Switch (even 
    if the Clock Switch is in the "off" position, you can receive weather 
    signals).  To return to normal listening, press the WX switch once 
    again to release it. 

    The Weather Band provides continuous weather information transmissions 
    from the National Weather Service.  Many areas in the U.S. are covered 
    by these special stations (check your local U.S. Weather Bureau office 
    or Federal Communications Commission office to determine if there is 
    one in your area).  Most of these stations operate on a frequency of
    162.55 MHz.  In locations where there might be interference with 
    another Weather Service station, a second frequency is provided -
    162.40 MHz.  This is why we have incorporated a Fine Tuning control for
    the Weather Band (so you can tune to either frequency). 

    National Weather Service transmissions are maintained 24 hours a day. 
    Typical reception distances will range from 10-40 miles, depending on 
    the terrain and your location. 

8.  Private listening.

    A jack is provided on the rear panel for private listening.  When an
    external earphone or speaker is plugged in, the internal speaker is
    plugged in, the internal speaker is automatically disconnected.  We
    recommend Radio Shack Catalog No. 33-206 or 33-175.

CAUTION:  This clock radio is designed exclusively for AC operation.  Do
          not operate it on a DC power source. 

          To clean the cabinet, use a soft dry cloth moistened with water
          or soapsuds.  Do not use harsh solvents.

NOTE:  The Telechron Clock is to be serviced by any Telechron Repair 
       Center.  Should it require service, take or send the instrument 
       to Telechron.  Check your telephone directory for the correct 
       address.  See the Fact Tag packed with the unit for complete 
       service warranty information.
