Úfor private, non-commercial applications.
2. Technical data
Power supply:
 V ~ /  Hz,  W
Reception range UKW/FM:
, – , MHz
3. Safety Instructions
Read the operating instructions carefully before
using the appliance for the rst time and pre-
serve this booklet for later reference. Pass this
booklet on to whoever might acquire the appli-
ance at a future date.
†Danger!
Should moisture/water permeate into the RDS
Radio Alarm, …
Úthere is the risk of receiving an electric
shock!
Úit could be irreparably damaged!
us:
DO NOT use or store the RDS Radio Alarm …
Úin moist environments!
Úin close proximity to water! Additionally,
NEVER subject the RDS Radio Alarm to
spray or rain water.
ÚNever place water-lled receptacles on the
RDS Radio Alarm!
Exposure to strong heat sources can lead to an
overheating of the RDS Radio Alarm and to the
melting of plastic parts. is could irreparably
damage the RDS Radio Alarm, and there is the
additional risk of a re! us:
ÚDo not place the RDS Radio Alarm in close
adjacency to sources of heat.
ÚDo not place any open re sources – e.g.
burning candles – on the RDS Radio Alarm!
ÚDo not cover the ventilation openings of the
RDS-Radio Alarm! Consequently, do not
place the RDS Radio Alarm on blankets or
other textiles. Ensure that the ventilation
openings are a minimum distance of 10 cm
away from walls or large objects.
ÚDo not use or store the RDS Radio Alarm in
dusty environments. Otherwise dust could
penetrate into the RDS Radio Alarm. If
large quantities of dust enter into the RDS
Radio Alarm it could overheat and be irrep-
arably damaged. ere is also the risk of a
re!
In the case of a defect, never attempt to repair
the power cable yourself! ere is the risk of
receiving an electric shock! Instead, consult our
service partner responsible for your country.
Contact information for our service partners is
|  

given in the warranty card. e warranty card
is supplied with the appliance.
†Danger!
Equipment connected to a power supply can be
damaged during a thunderstorm. us:
ÚDuring a thunderstorm, always remove the
plug from the power socket.
Úe power socket should be close to the ap-
pliance and easily accessible, so that the plug
can be quickly removed in the event of dan-
ger.
™Caution!
e power socket to which the RDS Radio Alarm
is connected must at all times be easily accessi-
ble. e plug can then be quickly removed in the
event of technical problems.
e RDS Radio Alarm can be irreparably dam-
aged if it falls or is dropped! Always place the
RDS Radio Alarm on a rm, level and non-slip
surface.
Bear in mind when selecting a position for the
RDS Radio Alarm: Modern furniture is treated
with a multitude of paints, polishes and other
surface nishings. It is possible that through
these the feet of the RDS Radio Alarm could be
compromised. en, residues could remain on
the furniture surface, which may possibly not be
removable. In cases of doubt, protect the furni-
ture surface by placing the RDS Radio Alarm on
a thin covering.
ôNote:
For damage resulting from …
Úopening the housing of the RDS Radio
Alarm
Úrepairs attempted by unqualied persons
Úimproper use of the RDS Radio Alarm
no liabilty or warranty will be accepted!
e RDS Radio Alarm becomes warm when
switched-on. is is not a cause for concern
and is not an indication of a technical problem.

6. Preparing the RDS Radio
Alarm for operation
1Carefully take the RDS Radio Alarm out of
the packaging.
|Attention!
Do not allow the RDS Radio Alarm to fall! It
could become irreparably damaged.
2Place the RDS Radio Alarm only on a level,
scratch resistant and non-slip surface.
e feet on the rear of the RDS Radio Alarm
can be adjusted to three levels. You can thus
set the slant of the RDS Radio Alarm to
your wishes. However, ensure that both feet
are adjusted to the same angle. Otherwise
the RDS Radio Alarm will be unstable and
could fall down.
3Unwind the power cable 2# to its full length.
Insert the plug into a power socket. e dis-
play dwill light up. e automatic sta-
tion scanner starts, visible in the running of
the frequencies in the display d. is takes
about  seconds.
Aer this, the RDS Radio Alarm is ready for op-
eration.
7. Setting the date and time
7.1 Automatic setting of the date and
time
e clock of the RDS Radio Alarm is tted with
automatic time and date adjustment by means
of RDS. It equalises running errors and also the
change over from summer to winter time (and
back again).
ôNotice:
RDS means “Radio Data System”. It is a system
for transmitting additional information with
radio programmes. Additional information is
for example the name of the station, which is
shown in the display of the RDS receiver. Addi-
tionally, the RDS Radio Alarm uses RDS for the
reception of time signals for the automatic ad-
justment of time and date settings.
Aer insertion of the plug in the power socket
the radio of the RDS Radio Alarm is switched
on. e automatic station scanner starts for sev-
eral seconds, recognisable in the running of the
frequencies in the display d. Subsequently it
breaks o the station scan; shown in the display
dare the date “--” and the time “:”.
Aer a few seconds the time display changes
over “:” and “:” to “:”. e station
scanner starts again; the clock in the radio alarm
is now trying to receive date and time informa-
tion over RDS. e clock symbol in the display
blinks until a stable RDS reception is available.
is can take several minutes. When time and
date information is received, the radio switches
itself o for the moment. In the display the cur-
rent date and the current time is then displayed.
ôNotice:
In general, the date is only shown in the display
when the radio is switched o.
Aer a few seconds the automatic station scan-
ner starts again. e radio scans the frequency
range for receivable VHF/FM radio stations and
saves them automatically to xed programme
positions. ereby, the clock symbol blinks in
the display dagain.
As soon as the frequency ranges are fully
scanned, the radio remains switched on; the
last-saved radio station is playing.
Should no time or date information be received
by means of RDS, there begins …
  | 

Úthe time display from the pre-programmed
time “:”
Úthe date display fronm the pre-programmed
date “--”.
In these cases you can …
Úsearch for an RDS radio station manually.
is is explained in chapter .. “Manually
setting and saving radio stations”.
Úselect an RDS radio station from those auto-
matically saved to the xed programme po-
sitions. is is explained in chapter ..
“Selecting saved radio stations”.
Úalternatively, you can set the time and date
manually. is is explained in chapter .
“Manual setting of the date and time”.
7.2 Manual setting of the date and time
ôNotice:
Manual time and date settings are corrected
automatically as soon as an RDS radio station
is received in radio operation.
ôNotice:
In carrying out the steps 2 to 9, you have ca. ten
seconds for each one. If one step is delayed, you
must start again from step 1.
1Switch the RDS Radio Alarm o by pressing
the button “POWER On/O” s.
