Thank You....................
for purchasing this Emerson AM/FM Stereo Clock Radio with Compact Disc
Player. In addition to waking to a buzzer alarm, or your favorite AM or FM Stereo
stations, you can also wake to the music of your favorite artists on compact disc.
There are dual alarms that can be set and used independently, a sleep to music
timer that controls both the radio and the CD player, and a Sure Alarm battery
back up system that will wake you to radio or buzzer, even if the power is out at
the wake up time. The large green LED display shows the time, alarm settings,
and CD track numbers, and it can be seen from anywhere in your room. The two
3” dynamic speakers provide excellent sound for such a compact unit. All major
controls are right on the top panel for simple, user-friendly operation.
