PRECAUTIONS  
Thisunitisengineeredtogiveyouyearsofsatisfactoryserviceifyou  
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 with the alarm-on icon [  
] flashing.  
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 a minute.  
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 any key. If the SNOOZE 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 Centigrade (°C). The unit is capable of  
measuring temperatures within the -5°C and 50°C 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.
