10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not plug the power cord
into an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades
can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure. To prevent fire or
shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that
no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.
•
•
Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by
Insignia because they may cause hazards.
Water and moisture—Do not use your weatherband clock
radio near water. Such as near a bath tub, in a wet basement,
or near a swimming pool.
•
Power sources—Use only the type of power source indicated
on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult Insignia Technical Support or your local
power company. For clock radios intended to operate from
battery power or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
•
•
Surge protector—We recommend the use of a surge
protector for the AC power connection. Lightning and power
surges ARE NOT covered under warranty for this product.
Lightning—For added protection for your weatherband clock
radio during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug the AC power cord
from the power outlet. This will prevent damage to your
weatherband clock radio due to lightning and power line
surges.
•
Overloading—Do not overload power outlets and extension
cords, because this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

•
•
Object and liquid entry—Never insert objects of any kind into
your weatherband clock radio through openings, because they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on your weatherband clock radio.
Damage requiring service—Unplug your weatherband clock
radio’s AC power from the power outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
•
•
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into your
weatherband clock radio.
•
•
If your weatherband clock radio has been exposed to rain or
water.
If your weatherband clock radio does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions,
because incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and often requires extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore your weatherband clock radio to its
normal operation.
•
•
If your weatherband clock radio has been dropped or
damaged in any way.
When your weatherband clock radio exhibits a distinct
change in performance.
•
•
Replacement parts—When replacement parts are required,
make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons, or other
hazards.
Safety check—Upon completion of any service or repairs to
your weatherband clock radio, ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks to determine that your
weatherband clock radio is in correct operating condition.
To completely disconnect the weatherband clock radio from electric
power, the AC power plug should be disconnected from the AC power
outlet completely.

Setting up your weatherband clock radio
Supplying power
Your weatherband clock radio can either be powered by plugging the
radio into an AC power outlet or by installing four AA batteries (not
included).
Plugging in your weatherband clock radio
To plug in your weatherband clock radio:
1 Place your weatherband clock radio in a convenient place and find
an AC power outlet within range of the power cord.
2 Plug the power cord into the AC power outlet.
Caution
To protect your weatherband clock radio during
thunderstorms, unplug the AC power cord from the AC
power outlet.
Installing batteries
In addition to installing four main power batteries to operate your
weatherband clock radio without AC power, you can also install a
backup battery (included) to provide temporary power in case the AC
power fails or the optional main batteries fail. The outside
temperature transmitter also requires two AA batteries (not included)
to operate.
To install main power batteries:
1 Turn your weatherband clock radio around to the back, then open
the door to the battery compartment.
2 Insert four (4) AA batteries (not included) into the battery
compartment. Make sure that you match the + and – symbols on
the batteries with the + and – symbols in the battery compartment.
9
Insignia NS-CLW01 Weatherband Clock Radio
3 Reinstall the battery compartment door and turn your
weatherband clock radio around to the normal operating position.
Caution
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this
device:
•
•
Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
Make sure that you follow the correct polarity as
indicated in the battery compartment when installing
batteries. Reversed batteries may cause damage to the
clock radio.
•
•
•
•
•
Do not mix different types of batteries together (for
example, alkaline, rechargeable, and carbon zinc), or
semi-used batteries with fresh ones.
If your clock radio is not to be used for a long period of
time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or injury
from possible battery leakage.
Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be
recharged, because they can overheat and rupture.
(Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.)
Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat, such
as sunshine, fire, or the like. Dispose of used batteries as
hazardous waste.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
To install a backup battery:
1 Unplug your weatherband clock radio, then turn it around to the
back and open the door to the battery compartment.
2 Remove the four AA main batteries (if necessary), then remove
the cover of the backup battery slot by unscrewing it and lifting it
out of the compartment.
Unscrew

batteries (if necessary).
5 Close the battery compartment door and turn your weatherband
clock radio around to the normal operating position.
6 Plug in your radio.
To install batteries in the outside temperature transmitter:
1 Open the battery compartment of the outside temperature
transmitter.
2 Install two AA batteries in the battery compartment. Make sure
that you match the + and – symbols on the battery with the + and
– symbols in the battery compartment.
3 Close the battery compartment door.
Mounting the outside temperature transmitter
To mount the outside temperature transmitter:
1 Remove the mounting bracket from the transmitter, if necessary.
11
Insignia NS-CLW01 Weatherband Clock Radio
2 Place the mounting bracket in the desired location and mark the
location for the three mounting screws with a pencil.
Tip
•
•
•
We recommend that you mount the transmitter on the North side
of your house, away from sources of heat or cold (such as
windows or vents) and out of direct sunlight or rain.
The range of the transmitter is 80 ft. (24.4 m) in open space. The
signal will penetrate walls, but the range will be decreased.
Concrete and metal structures will further decrease the range.
The transmitter should not be mounted on a metal surface or close
to sources of possible interference, such as cordless appliances
and microwave ovens.
•
•
The temperature transmitter should be mounted vertically to
transmit the signal well.
The FM antenna should be opened and the direction adjusted to
receive the best signal.
3 Start pilot holes for the screws where you marked their location.
4 Screw the mounting bracket onto the mounting location with the
three screws provided. Make sure that the screws are flush with
the bracket.
5 Snap the transmitter into the mounting bracket.
