Alarm on weekends

Setting the Alarm
1. Press and hold the 'Alarm/Sleep/Snooze' button to enter alarm mode.
2. 'Alarm Status' will be displayed and 'ON' or 'OFF' will flash on the second line of the display. Use the right hand rotary control to change the display to 'ON' or 'OFF' as required and press the right hand rotary control to confirm.
Stop the Alarm
When the alarm sounds press the 'Standby' button on the top of the radio. Alternatively, you can press 'Alarm/Sleep/Snooze' on the top of the radio.

Turn off the Alarm
Follow steps 1 and 2 in 'Setting the Alarm' and select 'OFF' in step 2.

Snooze function
When the alarm sounds, you can press the 'Alarm/Sleep/Snooze' button on the top of the radio. 'z' will be displayed in the bottom right of the display and the alarm will sound again in approximately 5 minutes.

Alarms are designed to reset every day after you stop them so they'll wake you the next day without you having to do anything. Look for a setting on your clock radio that lets you turn the alarm completely off. You'll be able to tell when you've succeeded, because the indicator on the front panel that shows whether an alarm has been set will disappear. Don't forget to reverse the procedure and turn the alarm on when you want to awakened the next day.

There are several SmartSet clock Radios by Emerson. Which model do you have?

It's possible that you have alarm 1 and alarm 2 both set for weekends (if a two-alarm version). For the SmartSet radio, CKD5811, that I am used to, you can change the alarm mode between Everyday, Weekdays and Weekends. Press and hold the Alarm 1 (or Alarm 2) button then press the Alarm Mode button to toggle between the modes. Then release both buttons. If you press the Alarm 1 button, you will see the current alarm mode indicated by the indicators by the day that are lit. The Alarm Mode button is between the On/Off button and the Alarm 1 and 2 buttons on the CKD5811. Make sure that you have the Wake to Radio, Wake to Buzzer or Wake to CD slide set for the alarm in question. For Wake to Radio, set your station. For Wake to CD, make sure that the CD in the unit is one that actually plays in the unit (scratches, etc). Also check the volume (although that seems like less of a concern since it does wake you on weekends).

The manual for the CKD5811 is here:
http://www.emersonradio.com/resources/owner_manuals/manual_1312917117.pdf . Additional manuals are here: http://www.emersonradio.com/owner_manuals.php . Scroll down in the drop down menu for the SmartSet manuals (clock radios all start CKD). The manuals are in alphabetical order.

I hope this helps.

I finally figured it out. I was setting the alarm for p.m., which isn't labeled such, instead of a.m., which is labeled. For example, the alarm might read "8:00", but that actually means 8:00 p.m.
