Safety instructions

• Take note that in some countries, different national regulations may apply with regard to the radio frequency ranges that may be freely received. Please note that information received from outside of the assigned radio frequency ranges may not be exploited, passed on to third parties or otherwise misused.
• Transportable world receivers are used in a wide range of climate zones. Pay heed, especially when used outdoors, that the climatic restrictions (see Technical data) are not exceeded. Electronic devices can be damaged by moisture. Extremely dry air can initiate static charges that could lead to faulty functions. Very high temperatures (e.g. direct sunlight) or very low temperatures (e.g. outdoors in winter) can permanently darken the liquid crystal display.
• Transportable appliances are particularly at risk from accidental damage. Protect the appliance against heavy stresses, such as impacts and falls. Select a location in your travel luggage where it cannot be damaged, or switched on, by other hard objects.
• Protect the appliance against drip and spray water. Do not place water-filled receptacles, such as flower vases, on or next to the appliance.
• Never submerge the appliance in water or other liquids. This could damage it irreparably!
• Batteries may not be thrown into a fire, taken to pieces or short circuited. Additionally, do not attempt to recharge batteries. There is a chance that they could explode.

• Always store batteries at a location that in inaccessible for small children and infants. Should a battery be swallowed, seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY.

• Check to ensure that the appliance is in a serviceable condition before taking it into use. Should there be visible damage to the appliance, do not take it into use. Arrange for it to be checked for safety by Customer Services.

Attention!

Listening to music with earphones for long periods and at high volume levels can lead to hearing damage!

• Use only the supplied headphones of Type KH2022E. When using headphones, the built-in loudspeakers are switched off.

Power supply

a) Inserting the batteries:

• Open the battery compartment ① on the rear of the appliance and insert two batteries as shown on the markings next to the battery compartment. Close the battery compartment. The appliance is now ready for use.
• When a battery symbol appears in the display ⑤, always replace both batteries with the types detailed under Technical Data. In this regard, also take note of the notices contained in the sections "Maintenance" and "Disposal".

b) Connecting the mains adaptor:

A mains adaptor is not supplied. If you have one available that conforms with the specifications given under Technical Data:

• Connect the mains adaptor to the power supply socket 16. The installed batteries are thereby isolated.

• Unfold the telescopic aerial ① and draw it out to its full length.

• Push out the support 20 if you wish to position the appliance at an angle. Then turn the telescopic aerial 1 to a slanted upward angle.

• To switch the appliance off, press the button "POWER OFF" 7.
• With the sliding switch "HOLD" 19 you can block all buttons against adjustment (ON), or have them free for adjustment (OFF).

c) Adjusting volume and sensitivity

• Set the desired volume level using the volume regulator "VOL" 14.
• With FM reception you can make adjustments to the reception sensitivity. Slide the switch "LOCAL/DX" ⑧ to the position "LOCAL" if you only want to receive powerful local transmissions. In the position "DX" the receiver is adjusted for worldwide reception.

• Hold the button "LIGHT" ⑧ pressed down to switch on the display illumination.

Time and alarm function

The appliance can switch itself on under timed control, e.g. as an alarm function.
