Quick Start Guide
The Ambient Mist Clock Radio was designed to make setup quick
and easy. Follow the steps below to start receiving weather updates,
use your alarm, and more:
Plug it in.1. Your device comes with an adapter that plugs
into the wall, and also uses one AA battery for backup
power.
Choose your time zone.2. After your device is plugged in,
the screen will ask you to select a time zone. Use the silver
wheel to scroll through a list of regions – when you’ve
found the right time zone, press the Settings button.
Check your signal strength.3. To the right of the word
‘ambient’ on your Clock Radio’s screen, you’ll see up to
three bars indicating signal strength. If you have zero or
one bars, move the device to a location where it receives a
stronger signal.

Weather Updates
Your Mist Clock Radio receives Accuweather.com®updates several
times per hour to give you up-to-date weather information. Your
Clock Radio will automatically begin listening for a signal when it
is plugged in - please note that it could take up to four hours for
weather data to appear. If you’ve waited more than four hours with-
out receiving weather data, please see the Troubleshooting Guide at
the end of this booklet.
Backup Battery
The Ambient Mist uses an A/C adapter as its main power source.
However, since we know you need to be able to count on your
alarm no matter what, we’ve added a backup battery slot that takes
one AA battery. If your power goes out, the Clock Radio will use
power from this battery to ring at the scheduled time. The backup
battery does not power the device’s display – in the event of a
power outage, the screen will go blank but the alarm will still ring.

Using your Mist Clock Radio
Alarm
Your device is equipped with two alarms, which are controlled by
the dimpled white buttons located on the top face of the clock.
Alarm 1 corresponds to the white button on the left, and Alarm 2
corresponds to the white button on the right. An alarm is turned on
when its button is in the ‘up’ position. An alarm is disengaged if its
button is in the ‘down’ position. If both of the white buttons are in
the ‘up’ position, both alarms are engaged.
When either of the alarms is turned on, the time at which it is set
will be displayed on the screen. When an alarm is turned off, the
alarm’s clock display will show only dashes.
Setting Alarm Time
Set the time for your alarms using the Alarm +/- buttons. Hold
down the Alarm +/- button in the desired direction to scroll quickly
9
through the hours, or tap the button to scroll through minutes. An
alarm’s time can be set whether the alarm is on or off. Unless you
select a new alarm time, each alarm automatically uses the last set
time when it is turned on.
Snooze Function
When your alarm is ringing, use the Snooze/Brightness bar on the
top face of the Mist to give yourself a few extra minutes of sleep.
Mist’s default snooze length is 9 minutes – this length of time can
be changed using the Settings menu (see page 12). The Snooze bar
will never disengage the alarm; to stop the alarm after it has rung,
press the round white button so that it is in the ‘down’ position.
When the alarm is not ringing, the Snooze/Brightness button allows
you to change the brightness level of the device’s screen.
