Listening to AUX Devices When using an iPod®, cassette tape player or other audio device, you can enhance your listening experience by playing the device through your Rise & Shine® using the AUX IN jack on the rear panel. Connecting an audio device requires one of the following cables: • Male-to-male 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo cable (this would be used, for example, to connect an iPod® to the Rise & Shine AUX IN). • Dual RCA male to 3.
Using Headphones For private listening, connect headphones to the headphone jack on the rear panel using a 1/8 inch “mini” headphone jack. The speaker is automatically muted when you plug in your headphones. Note: The speaker will automatically unmute when headphones are disconnected. Because headphone volume may vary from speaker volume, be sure to lower the volume before connecting or disconnecting headphones. CAUTION: Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hearing damage.
Changing the Fuse You may need to replace the Rise & Shine® fuse if it no longer brightens and dims your auxiliary lamp with your Wake and Sleep settings. In order to replace the fuse, do the following: • You will need to go to the back of the unit. There is a black circular plastic head that holds the fuse. The part is labeled 1A, 250V. • Use a flat head screwdriver and carefully turn the black head to the left (counter-clockwise). • Remove the black head.
Troubleshooting Problem What to do ® My Rise & Shine does not turn on or play music. • Make sure the power cord is fully plugged into an operating electrical outlet. • Make sure the Audio Input Selector is not OFF. See page 11 for further instructions. The Brightness Control does not change the brightness of the LED light panel or auxiliary lamp. • Make sure that the light you wish to control is ON: Go to LIGHT SET on the display menu and check settings. See page 21 for further instructions.
Troubleshooting — continued The alarm did not go off. • Verify that the correct Wake time was set (Reference page 14). • Verify that the correct setting for weekday or weekend was set (Reference page 14-15). • Verify that the date which was set is correct (Reference page 13). • Verify that the AM or PM settings are correct (Reference page 13-14). • Verify that in wake settings that a SOUND and/or LIGHT source has been chosen (Reference page 15-16). There is a statement on the screen: Files not found.
Troubleshooting — continued The audio is not working. • Turn the volume up. • Make sure the Audio Input Selector is not set to OFF. • Does the display show MUTE? If so, press the Selector Control Dial to unmute. Volume of connected AUX device is too low. • Turn up volume of Rise & Shine® and AUX device. Do so carefully. I set an MP3 for my wake/sleep and the FM radio played instead. • Verify that sound source was correctly set in the menu. Reference page 16 or 19.
Troubleshooting — continued I turned the dial brightness/volume/ mode select dial and the Rise & Shine® light and/or audio turned on suddenly. • During the Wake/Sleep cycle, the center dial settings (Brightness/Mode/ Volume) are overridden by the Wake/ Sleep cycle. • If you adjust one of the center dials during the Wake/Sleep cycle, the unit will break the cycle and return to the current Brightness and Volume settings. The volume is too loud during the alarm. • Adjust the volume in the Wake settings.
