FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
STANDBY ON-OFF of Standby Condition a) When the set is in the not-standby condition, the set does not change its
(cont’d) present state even when the clock time and alarm time coincide with
each other.
b) When the set is in the standby condition, the alarming operation acts
when the clock time coincides with the alarm time. When the
‘*ALARM” switch has been set to the “BUZZER” side, the set outputs
the alarming tone for the sleep period of approximately 65 minutes.
When the “KEY PROTECT” is on in this condition, the alarm is
released. When the “ALARM” switch $220 has been set to the
“RADIO” side in the above condition, the set turns its radio on for the
sleep period of approximately 65 minutes.
When the “ON/OFF” (ALARM OFF) switch S201 is pressed during the
set is outputting the alarm sound, the set turns the alarm function off,
and thus turns the radio off. However, the set does not turn the stand-
by function off. When the “STANDBY” key is pressed in the above
condition, both the standby and alarm functions are turned off, and
thus the radio is turned off.
During the radio-alarm condition with the “ALARM” switch $220
set to the “RADIO” side, all of the radio functions becomes in the
same as when the radio is simply turned on. When the ‘‘ON/OFF”
switch $201 is pressed, the set turns the alarming function off, and also
turns the radio off.
When the “STANDBY” key is pressed in the above condition, the set
turns the alarm and standby functions off, and also turns the radio off.
The alarm function acts regardless of the conditions of radio on/off
and during the alarm or sleep operation, and the LCD displays
“SLEEP” on it.
Sleep-time Setting In any mode with the “MAIN POWER” switch $219 turned on, the LCD
displays “SLEEP” on it when the ‘“SLLEEP” key is pressed, and the set
becomes in the sleep operation. The set turns off after the sleep opera-
tion of 65 minutes. In this condition, the “SLEEP” display disappears
from the LCD, and the sleep operation turns off or is released.
When the “SLEEP” key is pressed in the radio-off state, the radio turns
on first and then the sleep function is initiated.
When the ‘‘SLEEP” key is re-pressed in the sleep operation, the sleep
time should be re-set. When the “SLEEP” key is pressed in the alarm
operation, the alarm function is turned off and the sleep operation
becomes effective.
When the “ON/OFF (ALARM OFF)” key is pressed during the sleep
operation, the sleep operation is released or turns off, and the radio
turns off.
KEY Key Protection The key protection is made by using the “KEY PROTECT” key.
PROTECT The on and off of the key-protection state is made available cyclickly as
the “KEY PROTECT” key is pressed successively. When the “KEY
PROTECT” key is pressed and the key mark is displayed on the LCD, no
other key entries including the ““TUNING” control (rotary encoder) are
accepted than the “KEY PROTECT” key.
This IC, however, accepts the switching at the CE terminal, pin 27. When
the CE terminal is turned off, i.e., the “MAIN POWER” switch $219 is
turned off, the key protection is also turned off.
ON/OFF Radio On-Off, (Alarm Off) The on and off of the radio is made effective cyclically by pressing the
(ALARM OFF) Switching “ON/OFF (ALARM OFF)” key successively. When the radio is turned
on, the set receives the frequency written in the last-channel location in
the memory. When the radio is turned off, this IC writes the band and
frequency of now receiving in the last-channel location in its internal
memories, and the display on the LCD changes from the frequency to the
time of the present, i.e., of the instance the ON/OFF key is just pressed.
