Voor meer informatie: www.ricatech.comSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Carefully read the safety instructions and only use this set in the manner described in the operation instructions. Keep the operation instructions for later reading. If you give away or sell your radio to someone else, please hand the new owner these operating instructions. The set should not come in contact with moisture, due to the risk of electric shock. Therefore do not use the set over the sink or the draining board. Never operate the set with wet hands or if you are standing on a wet floor. Only connect the set to a regulated installed socket outlet, which has a line voltage consistent with the technical information of the set. Leave the ventilation openings at the bottom of the set clear. If they are blocked the set can get overheated. Place the power cord in such a way that nobody can get tangled up in it and in such a way that it will not be exposed to extreme heat. Do not turn the set on if the set is damaged or if the power cord is visibly damaged. Do not open the set. The voltage carrying components that are inside the set could cause electric shock when touched. Please have repairs to the set or to the power cord done only at the specialised repair shops or at our service centre. Lightning can cause damage to the sets if they are plugged in to the power supply. Therefore remove the plug from the power outlet during a thunderstorm. Batteries are not included with the set. If you decide to start using a battery, please remember the following: Batteries could be life threatening if swallowed. Therefore keep batteries in places that cannot be reached by children. Never throw batteries in a fire. Regular batteries should also never be recharged. This causes danger of explosion. Do not throw batteries in the household refuge, but rather hand them in as small chemical waste. For instance, you can place them in the containers at the shops where batteries are sold (such as super-markets) or turn them in at the municipal domestic waste collection service. MOUNTING The clock radio can be mounted to the bottom of a hanging cabinet or a cabinet shelf or similar. It can also just be placed on a surface. Instructions: The clock radio is provided with rubber antiskid feet. However it cannot be completely excluded that certain paints or synthetics affect these rubber feet and weaken them. With certain sensitive surfaces if desired you could place another layer under the feet. Do not mount the clock radio over a stove or kitchen sink, that way the radio will be protected from moisture, grease and heat. Make sure there is a power outlet nearby. To be able to mount the radio to a hanging cabinet or cabinet shelf or anything like that you will need four screws with a diameter of 2 mm. These screws are not included. Instruction: In cabinets with a fascia you could, if desired, first mount a small space board to the bottom of the cabinet.

1. Pull the mounting plate out from the set towards the back.

2. The fastening holes are marked with arrows at the bottom of the mounting plate. Mark the four hour holes that need to be drilled by using the mounting plate and fasten the mounting plate with four screws.

3. Slide the radio from the front onto the mounting plate up to the stop.

Instruction: You can remove the two front rubber feet by carefully pulling them out and save them if so desired.OPERATION Storage battery The storage battery is designed to keep the present time and the alarm time in the memory in case of a power failure. Thus after a power failure you will not have to reset the time and you can rely on being awakened if the power is resumed before the set alarm time. It is advisable to replace the storage battery once per year to safeguard operation without problems. For this you will need a 9v block battery (type 6LR61).This battery is not included in the standard delivery. Mains connection Place the plug in a 230v-50Hz power outlet.
