The Emerson Dual Alarm AM/FM Clock Radio with SmartSet® (models CKS9051/CKS9031) is an advanced time-setting system designed for convenience and reliability. This device is the world's first and only LED clock radio that automatically sets itself to the correct Year, Month, Date, Day, and Time as soon as you plug it in. The SmartSet® technology eliminates the need for manual time adjustments, as it automatically updates for Daylight Saving Time, Leap Year, and even after power interruptions.

Function Description:

The primary function of this device is to serve as a dual alarm AM/FM clock radio with an automatic time-setting feature. It includes a built-in computer that stores time information, ensuring accuracy even when power is interrupted. The radio can receive both AM and FM frequencies, offering a wide range of listening options. The dual alarm system allows users to set two independent alarms, which can be configured for buzzer, radio, or iPod/MP3 playback.

Key Features:

SmartSet® Automatic Time Setting: The clock automatically sets itself to the correct Year, Month, Date, Day, and Time upon initial plug-in. It also automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time and Leap Year.
Dual Alarm System: Two independent alarms (ALARM 1 and ALARM 2) can be set. Each alarm can be configured to wake the user with a buzzer, the radio, or an iPod/MP3 player connected via the AUX IN jack.
AM/FM Radio: The device includes an AM/FM tuner for listening to radio broadcasts.
Snooze Function: A SNOOZE (SLEEP OFF) button allows for temporary silencing of the alarm.
Sleep to Music Timer: A SLEEP button enables users to fall asleep to music, with the radio automatically turning off after a set period.
Time Zone Setting: Users can select their specific time zone (Atlantic, Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, Hawaiian, Yukon) to ensure accurate time display.
Display Dimmer: A DISPLAY DIMMER (HIGH/LOW) switch allows adjustment of the display brightness.
Battery Backup System: A built-in lithium battery maintains time and alarm settings during power interruptions. This ensures that the clock continues to keep accurate time even when unplugged or during a power outage. The battery is designed to last for many years.
AUX IN Jack: An AUX IN jack allows connection of an iPod, MP3 player, or other audio sources, enabling playback through the clock radio's speaker.
