Frequently Asked Questions - RRCD 1300 GRUNDIG

No sound from the device. What should I check?
First, check that the volume is turned up. If headphones are connected, unplug them. Ensure batteries are installed correctly and not flat, or that the mains cable is properly connected. If using batteries, replace them.
How can I improve poor radio reception?
For FM, extend and adjust the telescopic antenna. For MW, rotate the whole device. Keep the radio away from electrical devices like TVs or computers. If FM signal is weak, switch to mono reception using the MONO STEREO button.
The CD does not start playback. What could be wrong?
Ensure the CD is inserted with the label facing up and the disc is not damaged or dirty. Clean the disc with a soft cloth. If using CD-R/CD-RW, the burning process may be faulty; try a different disc.
How do I store radio stations as presets? (RRCD 1310 only)
Select the frequency band (FM or MW) using the BAND button. Tune to the station with SKIP buttons. Press PROG/MEM briefly, then select a preset number (1-15) using PRESET UP/DOWN and press PROG/MEM again to save.
Can I record from the radio or CD?
Yes. Insert a tape with intact erase-protection tabs. For radio, switch to RADIO and press the record button. For CD, switch to CD and press ; playback starts automatically. The device stops at tape end.
How do I clean the tape heads?
Open the tape compartment. Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol or head-cleaning fluid to clean the magnetic heads, capstan, and idler. Alternatively, use a cleaning cassette. Clean every 50 hours of use.
What batteries does the device use?
For main operation: six R20/UM1/D size 1.5 V batteries. For backup (RRCD 1310 only): two R6/UM3/AA size 1.5 V batteries. Observe polarity when inserting.
The device does not respond to buttons. What should I do?
Static discharge may cause this. Switch off the device, disconnect the mains cable, and remove batteries. Wait a few seconds, then reconnect and insert batteries. Try again.
Is it safe to open the device casing?
No. Never open the casing. The device contains a Class 1 laser and no user-serviceable parts. Opening the casing can lead to hazardous radiation exposure and voids the warranty. Contact a professional for repairs.
What should I do if the CD player skips tracks?
Skipping may occur if a stored track memory is being played or if the REPEAT function is set. Press STOP to cancel memory, or press REPEAT until the function is off. If the disc is dirty, clean it.

Power supply

Mains operation

Note:

Check that the mains voltage on the type plate (on the bottom of the device) corresponds to your local mains supply. If this is not the case, contact your specialist dealer.

1 Plug the mains cable supplied into the »AC \~« socket on the back of the device.

2 Plug the power cord into the wall socket.

Caution:

The only way to disconnect the device from the mains supply is to pull out the plug.

Battery operation

1 Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the device by pressing the mark and removing the lid.

2 Insert six batteries (6 x 1.5 V, type IEC R20/UM1/D size), observing the polarity marked on the lid of the battery compartment.

Notes:

Remove the batteries when they are flat or when you know that the device will not be used for a long period of time.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from leaking batteries.

The batteries are switched off during mains operation.

Environmental note:

Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metals, may not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally responsible manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your area.

Putting in backup batteries (RRCD 1310)

During mains operation, the back-up batteries ensure that stored settings are not lost in the case of a power failure or when the device is briefly disconnected from the mains.

1 Open the backup battery compartment inside the battery compartment by pressing the catch and removing the lid.
2 When inserting the batteries (2 x 1.5 V, type IEC R6/UM3/AA), observe the polarity marked on the base of the battery compartment.

Additional information for units sold in the UK.

Units sold in the UK are suitable for operation from a 240V ac, 50Hz mains supply.

The range of multi-system receivers is built to work in most European countries. However, the mains plug and socket system for the UK differs from many European countries.

This appliance has been supplied with a fitted, non-removable, approved converter plug for use in the UK. This converter plug is fitted with a 5A rated fuse.

In case this appliance is supplied with a moulded 2-pin Euro plug only, which is unsuitable for UK operation, this must be cut off and immediately disposed of. An approved 13A, 3-pin UK plug should then be fitted by a qualified electrician.

Note:

The severed Euro plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a socket elsewhere.

If a non-rewireable 3-pin plug or a rewireable 13A (BS1363) 3-pin plug is used, it must be fitted with a 5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse. If any other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5A fuse either in the plug, or at the distribution board. If this type of plug becomes defective, ensure that the fuse is removed before disposal, to eliminate potential shock hazard.

If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct type and rating (5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362) must be used and the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the lead and plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers should be obtained from your dealer.

Important:

The wires in the mains lead are colour coded in accordance with the following code:

BLUE - NEUTRAL

BROWN - LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.

Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with the letter "L" or coloured red.

In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with the letter "E", earth symbol "m", coloured green, or green & yellow.

Replacement mains lead sets can be obtained from your local dealer, or by contacting Grundig Consumer Relations (01788 570088)

CARE AND SAFETY

To ensure that this device provides you with long-term satisfaction and enjoyment, please observe the following instructions.

This device is designed for the playback of audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.

Protect the device and the CDs from rain, moisture (dripping or splashing water), sand and heat. Do not leave it next to heaters or inside parked cars in the sun.

Make sure there is adequate ventilation when positioning the device. There must be a free space of at least 10 cm behind the device. Do not place objects on the ventilation slots.

Do not place any objects containing liquids (for example, vases) on the device. Do not insert any foreign bodies in the CD compartment of the device.

Do not place any objects such as burning candles on the device.

Bringing the device in from the cold can cause condensation on the CD lens, which prevents it from playing. Give the device time to warm up.

The CD part contains self-lubricating bearings, which must not be oiled or greased.

Never open the device casing under any circumstances. No warranty claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always remove the mains plug during an electrical storm.

Do not use any cleaning agent, as this may damage the casing. Clean the device with a clean, moist leather cloth.

Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture surfaces are covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most of which contain chemical additives. These may cause corrosion to the feet of the device, thus resulting in stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.

General information on laser devices

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

You will find a symbol similar to the one shown here on the bottom of the device.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT means that the laser is designed in such a way as to ensure that the maximum permissible emission value cannot be exceeded under any circumstances.

If operating devices or methods other than those specified here are employed, it may lead to dangerous exposure to emissions.

Invisible laser radiation is emitted if the CD compartment is opened and the safety locking mechanism is shorted. Do not expose yourself to this radiation.
