Select saved stations To select a previously saved station, briefly press the "MEM/AL" button (7) and use the "-" button (2) or "+" button (4) to select a preset between 01 and 20. After approx. 3 seconds, the station that is saved in the selected preset is played automatically. Preset stations are lost when batteries are changed. SLEEP timer With the SLEEP timer, you can set a time between 10 and 90 minutes after which your scan radio automatically switches off. The setting is made in intervals of 10 minutes. Proceed as follows: Switch off the scan radio with the "On/Standby" button (6). Keep the "On/Standby" button (6) pressed until the display (1) indicates the number 90 (for 90 minutes). Then press the "On/Standby" button (6) repeatedly until you reach the desired number of minutes (for example, 40). EachSilverCrest SSRM 10 A1 English - 49 time you press the "On/Standby" button (6), the number of minutes to switching off is reduced by 10 minutes. The scan radio then switches itself on and, after the previously selected minutes (for example, 40), it switches itself off automatically. The display (1) indicates "SLEEP" (20) when the SLEEP timer is activated. You can start the station scan or access saved stations even when the SLEEP timer is activated. You can delete the activated SLEEP timer by switching off the scan radio. Setting the alarm time (Alarm 1 / Alarm 2) You can set 2 alarm times. Make sure that the time is set correctly. You can set the alarm time only when the device is switched off. Switch off the device with the "On/Standby" button (6) if it is switched on. Briefly press the "MEM/AL" button (7). The display (1) indicates the "Alarm 1" symbol (12), and when you briefly press the "MEM/AL" button (7) again, the display (1) indicates the "Alarm 2" symbol (13).

This is indicated by the respective alarm symbol (12,13) on the display (1). Proceed in the same manner to set the second alarm. Activating / deactivating the alarm function When you have set the desired alarm time, you can activate the alarm function as follows: Briefly press the "MEM/AL" button (7) repeatedly when the device is switched off until the desired alarm symbol (12,13) is indicated with the corresponding alarm time on the display (1). Both alarm times can also be activated together. To deactivate the alarm function, briefly press the "MEM/AL" button (7) until no alarm symbol (12,13) is indicated on the display (1). The alarm function is then deactivated. The device wakes you at the set alarm time with a signal tone.
