SAFETY AND CARE  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
GETTING STARTED  
HOW YOUR CLOCK WORKS WITH THE  
NIGHTLIGHT - OVERVIEW  
Please observe the following safety precautions when  
setting up and using this product.  
z
The clock can be set independently to give you  
time, calendar and alarm facilities.  
z
LCD panel - The LCD panel is made of glass,  
and may break if the unit is dropped.  
z
The nightlight can be set independently to light  
up in the dark so you can see where you are  
going.

Heat sources - Keep the product away from  
heat sources, such as radiators, stoves, heaters,  
and other heat-generating products.  
z
The clock and nightlight can also be used  
together to turn the clock backlight on when you  
walk into a dark room, or wave your arm from  
the comfort of your bed. It can do this because  
the nightlight has 2 types of sensor. One  
sensor responds to light and the other responds  
to movement. From the clock unit you can set  
these sensors to be active during a certain  
period of time.  
z
