Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

• Remove fuse cover and fuse.
  Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
• Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or 12 ) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires. Copyright in the U.K.: Recording and playback of material may require consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performer's Protection Acts 1958 to 1972.

Environmental information

We have reduced the packaging to its minimum and made it easy to separate into three mono-materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene and plastic.

Your set consists of materials, which can be recycled if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations to dispose of packing materials, dead batteries and old equipment.

MAINS SUPPLY

For users in the U.K.: please follow the instructions on page 4.

1. Check if the mains supply, as shown on the type plate inside the battery compartment, corresponds to your local mains supply.

2. If your set is equipped with:

3. a voltage selector - found on the back of the set

4. a frequency selector - inside the battery compartment adjust these selectors to match with your local mains supply and frequency.

5. Connect the mains plug into the wall socket. The mains supply is now switched on and the numbers on the display will start to flash. You will need to set the correct time.

6. To disconnect the set from the mains supply completely, withdraw the mains plug from the wall socket.

Standby power consumption: 3W

When a power failure occurs the complete clock radio will be switched off. When the mains supply returns, the numbers on the display will start to flash and you will need to reset the correct time on the clock.

To retain the clock time and the set alarm time in the event of an AC mains failure or disconnection, insert a 9 volt battery, type 6F22 (not supplied) into the battery compartment: this will act as a mains backup. However, the time will not be illuminated on the clock display. Operation of the alarm and radio are also excluded. For clarity, the battery backup is used to retain the clock and alarm time only. As soon as the mains supply returns, the display will indicate the correct time.

1. Insert the battery into the battery compartment.
2. Connect the mains plug to the wall socket.
3. Replace the battery once a year, or as often as necessary.

SETTING THE CLOCK

RADIO

CLOCK DISPLAY

The time is displayed using the 24-hour clock system. Important! When setting the clock or alarm time, for accurate hour and minute adjustment always make sure you press the HR and MIN keys separately and not simultaneously.

1. Adjust the clock control to SET TIME.
2. Press and hold down the HR or Min key to set and adjust the hours and minutes respectively:
3. With your finger held down on H_ , the hour increases as a digit from 0 to 23.
4. With your finger held down on Min, the minutes increase as a digit from 00 to 59.
5. Release the HR or MIN key when you have reached the correct time.
6. To safeguard the clock time from being accidentally adjusted, turn the clock control to CLOCK.

RADIO

You can use the clock radio solely as a radio.

1. Adjust the RADIO switch to ON.
2. Select your waveband using the BAND switch.
3. Use TUNING to find your radio station.
4. Adjust the sound with the VOLUME control.
5. To turn off the radio, adjust RADIO to OFF.

To improve radio reception:

• For FM, extend and position the pigtail to obtain optimum reception.
• For MW, the set is provided with a built-in aerial which to function best should be placed on a non-metallic surface e.g. wood, plastic. Direct the MW aerial by adjusting the position of your clock radio.

SWITCHING OFF THE ALARM

There are three ways of switching off the alarm. Unless you choose to cancel the alarm completely, the 24HOUR ALARM RESET option will be automatically selected after 1 hour and 59 minutes from the time your alarm time first goes off.

2. Set RADIO to OFF position.
3. Set your sleep time by pressing once on the SLEEP key.

The display shows the sleep period 0:59.
4. To cancel the sleep function before the sleep period ends, press SLEEP OFF /REPEAT ALARM.

Note: - The sleep function does not affect the alarm setting.

• If during SLEEP you have turned down the volume and you have an alarm set in the radio mode, make sure you have adjusted the volume loud enough to wake you up the following day!

MAINTENANCE

• If you do not intend to use the clock radio for a long time, disconnect the set by withdrawing the plug from the wall socket. The battery should also be removed to prevent chemical leakage which will damage your set.
• To clean your set from fingerprints, dust and dirt, use a clean and soft damp cloth or chamois leather. Do not use cleaning products which contain, benzene, thinner, etc. as these may harm the housing.
