Connecting the mains cable
Note:
Check if the mains voltage on the identification plate (at the bottom of
the device) corresponds to the local mains voltage.
If this is not the case, contact your dealer.
1Insert the mains cable in the socket (230 V~, 50/60 Hz).
Caution:
The only way to isolate the device from the mains supply is to pull the
plug.
Insert back-up batteries
If there is a power failure, the clock time and alarm time, and the channel
memory of the device are saved by the back-up batteries.
Radio mode and alarm mode cannot be used, however, the display is not
illuminated.
1Open the battery compartment by pressing the marked surface and
pushing back the cover.
2Insert two batteries (micro type, for example, UM4, R 03, 2x1.5V),
observing the polarity marked at the bottom of the battery compart-
ment.
Note:
We recommend that you replace the back-up batteries after approxi-
mately 1 year.
Remove the batteries when they are flat, or when the device is dis-
connected from the mains for an extended period.
There is no liability for damage resulting from flat batteries.
Environmental note:
Batteries, including those which are heavy metal-free, may not be dis-
posed of along with household waste. Please ensure the environmental-
ly sound disposal of used batteries, e.g. via public recycling sites. Find
out about the legal regulations which apply in your area.
Reset
If the electronic system of your device becomes blocked (as the result of sta-
tic electricity from the floor carpet or storms, for example), the device can be
reset to its original condition.
1Press »RESET« (at the base of the casing) with a sharp object.
– Time, day, alarm times and radio settings are deleted.

Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change
a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI appro-
ved type.
3Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a
plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be
greater than 5 Amp.
Note:
The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard
should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.
How to connect plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue =
neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
1Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
2Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
3Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E
(or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped
over the sheath oft the lead – not simply over the two wires.

sing »+«or»–« (TUNING).
– If RDS information is transmitted by the station currently set,
»f« appears in the display and after a short time the station
name appears in place of the frequency.
3Save radio station by pressing »MEM« (»MEMORY« flashes in the dis-
play ), select the desired channel position within 8 seconds with
»1 ... 10« and confirm with »MEM«.
