Overview

This document describes the HANNLOMAX ALARM CLOCK RADIO WITH USB CHARGING, model HX-128CR. It is a multi-functional device designed to provide timekeeping, alarm, radio, and charging capabilities.

Function Description

The device primarily functions as an alarm clock radio. It features an LED display that shows the current time and various indicators for its operational modes. It includes two independent alarms (ALARM 1 and ALARM 2) that can be set to either a buzzer sound or a selected FM radio station. A snooze function allows for temporary suspension of an active alarm.

Beyond timekeeping and alarms, the device incorporates an FM radio tuner, allowing users to listen to their favorite stations. It supports both auto and manual tuning, as well as the ability to store up to 20 FM radio stations in memory for quick access. A "Sleep to Music" function enables users to fall asleep to the radio, with a customizable timer that automatically turns off the radio after a set period.

For convenience, the unit includes a USB slot for 1A charging, allowing users to charge their smartphones or tablets. It also features a "Night Light" with adjustable brightness and a "Dimmer Control" to adjust the brightness of the main LED display.

Usage Features

• Powering On/Off: The "SOURCE / AL. OFF" button is used to turn the unit on and off. It also serves to turn off an active alarm.
• Setting the Clock: To set the clock, ensure the unit is in CLOCK mode (display shows "OFF"). Press and hold the "CLK / MEM" button until the time flashes. Use the "HOUR" and "MIN" buttons to adjust the time, then press "CLK / MEM" again to confirm.
• Setting Alarms: To set an alarm, press and hold either the "AL1" or "AL2" button until the alarm time flashes. Adjust the hour and minute using the "HOUR" and "MIN" buttons. Press "AL1" or "AL2" again to confirm the alarm time. Repeatedly pressing "AL1" or "AL2" will cycle through the alarm sound modes: buzzer or the currently set radio station. Indicators on the display will light up to show the selected alarm mode.
• Snooze Function: When an alarm activates, pressing the "SNOOZE / SLEEP / DIMMER" button will temporarily suspend the alarm for 9 minutes. This can be repeated for up to approximately one hour.
• Sleep to Music: In radio mode, press the "SNOOZE / SLEEP / DIMMER" button repeatedly to set a sleep timer (from 90 minutes down to 10 minutes, or OFF). The radio will automatically turn off after the selected time.
• Radio Operation:
  • To select FM radio, press "SOURCE / AL. OFF".
  • Auto Tuning: Press and hold "SKIP DN/SKIP UP" for about 1 second to search for the next strong radio station.
  • Manual Tuning: Press "SKIP DN/SKIP UP" step-by-step to tune to desired stations.
  • Storing Radio Stations: Tune to the desired station, then press and hold "CLK / MEM". The display will show "PXX". Use "SKIP DN/SKIP UP" to select the memory station number, then press "CLK / MEM" to confirm.
  • Listening to Stored Stations: In FM radio mode, press "CLK / MEM" to cycle through stored stations.
  • To turn off the radio, press "SOURCE / AL. OFF".
• Display Brightness: Press and hold the "SNOOZE / SLEEP / DIMMER" button to adjust the brightness of the LED display.
• Night Light: Press the "LIGHT" button repeatedly to select the desired brightness of the night light.
• USB Charging: Connect a USB cable from your device to the USB slot on the clock to charge your device.
• Battery Backup: The unit uses two UM-4 (AAA size) batteries for backup. In case of power failure, these batteries preserve the current time, alarm settings, and stored radio stations. Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries.

Maintenance Features

• Cleaning: The device should only be cleaned with a dry cloth.
• Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install the unit according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Heat Sources: Avoid installing the unit near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other heat-producing apparatus (including amplifiers).
• Power Cord Protection: Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, especially at plugs, convenience receptacles, and where it exits the apparatus.
• Attachments/Accessories: Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Stability: If using with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table, ensure it is specified by the manufacturer. Exercise caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to prevent tip-over.
• Lightning Storms/Extended Unuse: Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when it will be unused for long periods.
• Servicing: Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required if the apparatus has been damaged (e.g., damaged power cord/plug, liquid spilled, objects fallen into, exposed to rain/moisture, or if it does not operate normally or has been dropped). Do not attempt to remove the cover or back, as there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

The DC adaptor cable also functions as the FM antenna; fully extend it and try different positions for better FM reception.
