• Only use the device for private use and the intended purpose. This device is not intended for commercial use.

• Ensure that the power cord is not kinked, trapped or brought into contact with heat sources.

• Ensure that the power cord does not present a tripping hazard.

• Never touch the power plug or the cable with wet hands.

• Only connect the device at a properly installed plug sock

et. Pay attention that the specified voltage corresponds to the voltage of the plug socket.

• The power cord must always be easily accessible.

• Always insert the batteries correctly.

• Do not cover up any ventilation openings with objects such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

• This appliance shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing water and that no object filled with liquids such as vases shall be placed on apparatus.

• Exposed ignition sources such as burning candles may not be placed onto the device.

• Never open the housing of the device. Incorrect repairs can constitute a considerable risk for the user. Should the device become damaged, in particular the mains supply cable, do not operate the device any longer, but rather have it repaired by an expert. Check the mains supply cable regularly for damage.

• For safety reasons a broken or damaged mains lead may only be replaced by an equivalent lead from the manu- facturer, our customer service department or a similary qualified person.

tended to indicate the following: The lightning symbol should advise the user of parts in the inside of the device which carry dan- gerously high voltage levels. The symbol with an exclamation mark should advise the user of important operation or mainte

nance instructions in the accompanying documen- tation. Devices bearing this symbol work with a “class 1 laser” for tracing the CD. The built-in safety switch- es should prevent the user being exposed to dangerous laser light, which is invisible to the human eye, when the CD compartment is opened. These safety switches must not be bypassed or altered; otherwise there is a risk of being exposed to the laser beam. Children and Frail Individuals

• When playing a radio station, the time and date is taken from the broadcasting service.

• The FM and/or DAB supplementary information (RDS / DLS) may differ. This is selected and transmitted individ

ually by the broadcast stations. If the reception quality at your location is inadequate, the supplementary informa

tion may be displayed incorrectly or not at all. This is not a malfunction of the device! Scan FM Stations

A list of radio stations which can be received in Germany is available on the Internet at www.digitalradio.de. NOTE: In Germany approx. 70% of the country’s area is covered by digital radio broadcasts (as of Nov. 2011). In the individual areas however, coverage and provision vary greatly. If the DAB stations in your region cannot be received or only with interferences depending on location, in this case you can switch to the FM band to receive this station. This is only possible however if these stations are broadcast via VHF. Find out more on the internet site of the radio station.

Playing music via USB (28) This device has been developed in line with the latest techni- cal advances in the USB field. The wide range of different USB storage devices of all types which are currently on the market, unfortunately do not allow us to guarantee full compatibility with all USB storage devices. For this reason, in rare cases there may be problems in playing back files from USB storage devices. This is not a malfunction of the device. Only use commercially available USB sticks.

2. Keep the STOP / USB button pressed. “USB MODE” will

briefly appear on the display.

3. Connect a USB storage device directly into the port.

Playback will automatically start after a few seconds. NOTE:

• Always directly connect a USB storage medium to the USB port to prevent any malfunctions.

• The USB port is not designed for charging external devices.

• If no USB stick is connected, or the USB stick is not recognized “NOT FIND USB” will appear on the display after the notification “USB CHECKING . . .“.

• Please note: The USB port is only intended for playing music from USB sticks. It only provides a low power (100 mA) power supply. This USB port is not suitable for using external 2.5” hard drives with start-up currents of up to 1100 mA.

• There is a huge variety of compression methods as well as quality differences for USB sticks. Furthermore, the music industry does not adhere to fixed standards (copy protection). For that reason you might experience problems in some rare cases when playing back MP3 files. This is not a malfunction of the device. CAUTION: Switch the device to a different operating mode before you remove the USB storage device. Description of the Control Buttons PLAY / PAUSE (8) You can briely interrupt and resume playback using this button. Pressing again continues playback.

• The currently set option is highlighted by “

A Settings menu can be found in DAB mode, as well as in FM mode. The DAB and FM menu is explained below along with the general MAIN MENU menu. DAB Menu The DAB menu is divided into menus:

• Local scan: Starts the stations scan. The DAB frequency band is scanned for local stations.

• Full scan: Starts the station scan. The DAB frequency band is scanned for stations.

• Manual tune: To do so you need to know the station frequency. This can be found on the internet site of the broadcasting service. Select the individual frequencies with the UP / DOWN buttons. Start the manual scan by pressing the ENTER button. The station group will appear after a short time on the display. Press the ENTER button again. FM Menu

• Audio Setting: Select the desired option for the audio mode. - Stereo or mono: Each radio station broadcasting in stereo will be played in stereo. - Mono only: Each radio station is played in mono, regardless of the broadcast signal (also in DAB mode). DAB + FM Menu (MAIN MENU) The following submenus can be found in the MAIN MENU menu. In FM mode, only a part of the following menu items is available (see page 4).

• Language: Change the OSD language.

• Prune Station: It may be that you can no longer receive some stations after a station scan or change of location. With this function you can delete these stations from the reception list. Confirm with the ENTER button.

• Station Order: Allows you to set the criteria after which the stations are to be sorted during the scan. - Multiplex: The stations are sorted according to the received program packages. - Alphanumeric: The radio stations which names include a number will rank before the station names consisting of letters. The stations with letters are sorted in ascend

ing order according to the alphabet. - Active: Stations which are currently broadcasting a program will be sorted into the first positions.

• DRC: short for Digital Range Control (dynamic range). The term DRC describes the ratio between the quietest and the loudest sound. If the dynamic range is very high there are very soft sounds as well as very loud sounds. Under some circumstances this may present a problem with playback. Let us assume that you are listening to a radio station in a relatively loud environment. By increas

ing the volume you can play the quiet sections louder. This however has the disadvantage that the loud sections become uncomfortably loud. It makes sense here to reduce the dynamic range. Select between the options: - DRC Off: The dynamic range is not reduced. - DRC Low: The dynamic range is slightly reduced. - DRC High: The dynamic range is sharply reduced.

• Factory reset: Press the INFO button if you want to reset the device to the default factory settings. All settings which you have made will be lost.

• SW version: Here, you can display the Software Version of the device. Alarm function You can set the device in such a way that it switches on at a specific time. You have the option of setting two alarm times. General

• You can set, activate, and deactivate the alarm times only during standby.

• Set the function selector switch to the position with which you want to wake up (BUZZER, CD, DAB or FM).

• You’d like to be woken up by radio? Set the desired station in advance.

• You want to wake up with a CD? Insert a CD into the CD tray.

• Important! Consider setting the required volume with the VOLUME control. The unit switches on with the last set volume. Setting the Alarm Time - Button ALARM 1 = to set the first alarm time - Button ALARM 2 = to set the second alarm time52 English
