1 Safety Information
Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.
Intended use
This alarm clock is designed to provide an acoustic alarm or alert
signal at a set time or on receipt of a telephone call. Any other
use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modification or
reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances open the
device or complete any repair work yourself.
Installation location
Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals,
moisture, heat and direct sunlight.
Heart pacemaker
Attention: Always maintain a distance of at least 15
cm to implanted heart pacemakers to prevent any
possible interference.
Power adapter plug
Attention: Only use the power adapter plug supplied
because other power supplies could damage the
equipment.
Ensure access to the power adapter plug is not
obstructed by furniture or such.
The power adapter plug supplied fulfils the eco−design
directive of the European Council (Directive 2005/32/EC). This
means that power consumption is considerably lower than
power adapter plugs of an earlier design both in operating and
idling modes.
Rechargeable batteries
Attention: Never throw batteries into a fire. Only use
batteries of the same type.
Disposal
In order to dispose of your device, take it to a collection
point provided by your local public waste authorities (e.g.
recycling centre). According to laws on the disposal of
electronic and electrical devices, owners are obliged to
dispose of old electronic and electrical devices in a
separate waste container. The adjacent symbol indicates
that the device must not be disposed of in normal
domestic waste!
Batteries represent a hazard to both
health and the environment! Never
open, damage or swallow batteries, nor
allow them to get into the environment.
They may contain toxic and ecologically hazardous heavy
metals.
You are legally obliged to dispose of batteries at the point
of sale or at appropriate collection points provided by your
local public waste authorities. Disposal is free of charge.
The adjacent symbols indicate that batteries must not be
disposed of in normal domestic waste and but at
authorised collection points.

Mains power outlet
Vibration pad
Telephone line socket
In order to connect the alarm clock to a telephone
connection for use as a signal amplifier, you may need
an appropriate adapter. You can obtain one at a
specialist shop.
Only use the power adapter plug supplied labelled with
output data 12 VDC, 670 mA.
Basic settings
In order to be able to use the TCL 190 alarm clock, you must first
carry out the following settings.
1. Set the time. Turn the rotary knob (15) until the clock shows
the correct time.
2. Set the time at which the alarm should go off. Turn the rotary
knob (14) until the red hand points to the time at which the
alarm should be triggered.
3. Use the sliding switch (7) to select the type of alarm (mode).
There are three settings available, from left to right vibration
only", acoustic signal only" or acoustic signal + vibration".
4. Turn the rotary knob (4) to set the required volume. Firstly,
set the volume to quiet" (turn anticlockwise) and increase
the volume slowly.
Exposure to the alarm at full volume for a long period could
cause ear damage.
5. Turn the rotary knob (5) to set the required acoustic signal.
6. Turn the rotary knob (3) to set the required pitch for the
acoustic signal.
Use the rotary knobs for volume and pitch to select
settings whereby the alarm can serve its purpose with the
volume setting as low as possible. Depending on your
hearing, it is possible that you can detect higher or lower
pitch tones even at low volumes.
7. In order to activate the alarm to trigger at the set time, turn
the rotary knob (3) clockwise to On".

power adapter plug.
2. Remove the small rubber cap from the sliding switch on the
vibration pad.
3. Plug one end of the connection cable in the socket in the
vibration pad and in the other end in the socket for the
vibration pad in the alarm clock.
4. The LED on the vibration pad lights up red.
5. When the vibration pad is fully charged, disconnect the
connection cable from the alarm clock.
6. Use the sliding switch on the vibration pad to switch it on.
7. Set the alarm mode on the alarm clock to vibration" or
acoustic alarm + vibration".
On reaching the set time, the vibration pad vibrates
intermittently until the alarm function is interrupted by
pressing the Snooze button (1).
Using the telephone signal
You can also use the TCL 190 alarm clock to signal incoming
telephone calls. Connect the TCL 190 alarm clock to the
telephone connection socket as illustrated in the connection
diagram.
Each incoming call is then diverted to the alarm clock and the
acoustic signal is triggered by each call regardless of the alarm
time set.
