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 recording and playback of audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
Protect the device, the CDs and cassettes 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 no place objec-
ts on the ventilation slots.
Do not insert any foreign bodies in the CD or tape compartment of 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.
If the device is unable to scan CDs perfectly, use a standard, commercially
available cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may
damage the laser optics.
Always keep the CD compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on
the laser optics. Do not attach adhesive labels to CDs. Keep the surfaces of
CDs clean.
The CD and tape units contain self-lubricating bearings, which must not be
oiled or greased.
Never open the device casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer
will not accept any liability 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 che-
mical 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.
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 radia-
tion.

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.
1Insert the mains cable supply (in the battery compartment) in the
»AC ~« socket of the radio recorder.
2Insert the power cord plug in the socket.
Caution:
The only way to disconnect the device from the mains supply is to pull
out the plug.
Battery operation
1Open the battery compartment by pressing the marked section and
remove the lid.
2Insert six batteries (6 x 1.5 V/Typ AM1/LR20/D-size), observing the
polarity marked on the base of the battery compartment.
Note:
Remove the batteries when they are flat or when you know that the devi-
ce will not be used for a long period of time. No liability is accepted for
damage resulting from leaking batteries.
The batteries are switched off during mains operation.
Environmental note:
Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metal, may not be dis-
posed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an
environmentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations
which apply in your area.

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 coun-
tries. 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 follo-
wing code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not cor-
respond with the coloured marking identifying terminals in your plug, pro-
ceed 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 let-
ter “L” or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal mar-
ked with the letter “E”, earth symbol “z”, coloured green, or green & yel-
low.
Replacement mains lead sets can be obtained from your local dealer, or by
contacting Grundig Consumer Relations (01788 570088)
Moulded 3-pin lead set, suitable for UK use:
Ref: Leadset UK 8290-991-224
Moulded 2-pin Euro lead set, not suitable for UK use:
Ref: Leadset Euro 8290-991-316

Antennas
1For FM (VHF) stations extend the telescopic antenna and tilt and turn it
to achieve the best reception.
Note:
If the FM signal is too strong, it is advisable to push in the telescopic

In case of poor reception:
If your FM stereo reception (display »STEREO«) is impaired by interfe-
rence caused by insufficient signal strength, this can sometimes be rec-
tified by setting the »FM MODE« switch on the back on the device to
mono reception. The »STEREO« display goes out and the FM station is
played in mono.
