Need help?Do you have a question about the Philips AJ3200/12 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Philips AJ3200 is a versatile clock radio designed to provide convenience and entertainment in one compact unit. Its primary functions include listening to FM radio, charging mobile devices, and setting alarms. The device is user-friendly, with a clear display panel that shows the current status and time, making it easy to operate for daily use.
The core functionality of the AJ3200 revolves around its capabilities as a clock radio. It allows users to tune into FM radio stations, offering a range of listening options. The radio features automatic tuning to stations with strong reception, as well as manual tuning for precise frequency selection. Users can also store up to 10 favorite FM radio stations in memory as presets, enabling quick access to preferred channels.
Beyond radio, the AJ3200 serves as a charging dock for mobile devices. It is compatible with both Android-powered mobile phones featuring a micro USB socket and Apple devices with either a Lightning or 30-pin connector. This feature allows users to charge their smartphones or other portable devices conveniently overnight or during the day, eliminating the need for separate chargers and reducing clutter.
Another key function is its alarm system. The clock radio supports setting two independent alarms, allowing users to wake up at different times or to set separate alarms for different purposes. The alarm source can be set to either FM tuner or a buzzer, providing flexibility in how users prefer to be woken. The alarm duration is set to 30 minutes, ensuring ample time to wake up. Additionally, a snooze function is included, which temporarily silences the alarm for nine minutes, offering a brief extension of sleep.
The AJ3200 also incorporates a sleep timer feature. This allows users to set a specific period (15, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes) after which the clock radio will automatically switch to standby mode. This is particularly useful for those who enjoy falling asleep to music or radio, as it conserves power by turning off the device after the set time.
Operating the AJ3200 is straightforward, thanks to its intuitive control layout. The device features dedicated buttons for various functions, including SOURCE for turning on the clock radio and selecting the FM radio source, PRESET/SET TIME for storing and selecting radio presets and setting the time, and AL1/AL2/-VOLUME + for setting alarms and adjusting volume. The HR/MIN/-TUNE + buttons are used for tuning FM radio stations and setting the hour and minute for the clock and alarms. The SNOOZE/SLEEP button serves a dual purpose: snoozing an active alarm and setting the sleep timer.
The clock setting process is designed to be simple. In standby mode, users can press and hold the SET TIME button to activate the clock setting mode, then use the HR and MIN buttons to adjust the hour and minute, respectively, before confirming the setting. The display panel clearly shows the time and other relevant information, such as alarm indicators.
For radio listening, users can easily tune to stations by pressing and holding the TUNE - or TUNE + buttons for automatic scanning, or by repeatedly pressing them for manual frequency selection. Storing presets involves tuning to a station, pressing and holding PRESET, selecting a preset number with TUNE - or TUNE +, and then confirming with PRESET again. Adjusting the volume is done using the - VOLUME + buttons during playback.
The alarm setting is equally user-friendly. By pressing and holding AL1 or AL2, users enter the alarm setting mode, where they can adjust the hour and minute using the HR and MIN buttons. Activating or deactivating an alarm is done by repeatedly pressing AL1 or AL2, with corresponding indicators appearing or disappearing on the display. The alarm volume for the FM tuner gradually increases, while the buzzer alarm remains at a default level.
The Philips AJ3200 is designed for minimal maintenance, focusing on user safety and product longevity. Key maintenance guidelines include:
Overall, the Philips AJ3200 is a practical and reliable clock radio that combines essential timekeeping, audio entertainment, and mobile device charging capabilities with a focus on ease of use and safety.
