• Select a suitable location for the radio recorder, such as a dry, fl at, non-slip surface on which it is easy to operate the machine.

• Ensure that the radio recorder is suffi ciently ventilated!

• Insert the plug into a properly installed 230 V, 50 Hz power socket. Ensure that the voltage is the same as that indicated on the model identifi cation plate. Set the time automatically

• After you have inserted the mains plug into the socket, the time data are automatically taken over by the transmitter after a few minutes. As long as the dot (13) is fl ashing in the display the device is searching for the radio signal. Once a radio signal is found, - 0 0 -, - 0 1 - etc. appears in the display. The correct time then appears in the display (the dot (13) lights up).

NOTE: Reception in a radius of 2000 km from Franfurt/Main should be trouble-free. However, disturbances may occur owing to the local reception position. Buildings with tall metal elements and the vicinity of TV sets, PCs, cell phones, etc. can disturb reception! If the automatic setting is still not possible after 10 minutes despite the alignment of the incorporated antenna, the reception position is too bad. In this case please adjust the time manually or change the position of the device. Manual time setting (24 h) Hours: Press the MODE key (3) and the RCC/HR key (2) simultaneously.
