Frequently Asked Questions - AE2380 PHILIPS

How to set the clock on the Philips AE2380 radio?

Press TIME SET until the digits blink, then use TIME ADJUST ▲ or ▼ to set the time. Confirm by pressing TIME SET again or wait 5 seconds.

How to memorize a radio station?

Tune to the desired station, then press and hold a PRESET (1-5) button for more than 2 seconds until you hear a double beep. For stations 6 to 10, first press 5+.

What to do if the radio produces no sound?

Check the volume setting, disconnect the headphones if present, make sure the power cord is properly plugged in or that the batteries are correctly installed and not worn out.

How to set the alarm (wake-up)?

Press ALARM SET, set the time with TIME ADJUST ▲/▼, then confirm. Activate the alarm by setting the switch to BUZZ (buzzer) or RADIO, and turn it off with OFF.

Why does the alarm not go off?

Check that the wake-up time is set, the alarm is activated (switch on BUZZ or RADIO), and that no headphones are plugged in. If the batteries are low, replace them.

How to use the timer (SLEEP)?

Press SLEEP repeatedly until the desired duration is displayed (120, 60, 30 or 10 minutes), then release. The radio will automatically turn off after that time.

How to lock the keys to prevent unintended actions?

Press LOCK. To deactivate, press LOCK again. When locked, the display may switch to the radio frequency; to see the time again, disable the lock.

How to improve FM reception?

Extend and orient the telescopic antenna. If the signal is too strong (close to a transmitter), partially retract it. For MW/LW, rotate the device to optimize internal reception.

The radio turns off by itself: what to do?

This may be due to the SLEEP timer being active. Press POWER ON-OFF to turn it back on. Also check that the batteries are not worn out.

How to maintain and clean the radio?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly damp. Do not use corrosive products. Do not expose it to moisture, rain, sand or excessive heat (sun or heater).

Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

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

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3 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 of 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.
